The role of passivation treatment of stainless steel chimneys:

(1) Improve the thermodynamic stability of stainless steel chimneys in the environmental medium. Passivated stainless steel is in a more positive position in the metal potential series, that is, similar to precious metals, and has stable chemical properties, while unpassivated stainless steel is in an activated state, with a more negative treatment potential, similar to ordinary steel.

(2) Prevent local corrosion of stainless steel. Chimney maintenance generally stainless steel is prone to various corrosion, including point corrosion, intergranular corrosion, wear corrosion and corrosion fatigue, which are all related to the surface state. Passivation can eliminate the initiation sources of various corrosion and make the potential of critical point corrosion positive.

(3) Passivation makes the stainless steel surface sufficiently clean. Passivation can eliminate metal pollutants on the surface of stainless steel, as well as impurities embedded in stainless steel, such as copper, zinc, cadmium, lead, low-melting metals, and free iron, so that the chromium and nickel contained on the surface are enriched and stabilized. The pollution of these metals can easily lead to corrosion and damage of stainless steel.

(4) Eliminate thermal oxides on the surface of stainless steel. In the passivation process, a nitric acid solution containing hydrofluoric acid is used, which has the functions of etching oxides and passivating the surface.

(5) Passivation treatment as a post-treatment requires stainless steel chimneys to be corrosion-resistant, and requires stainless steel to have various pre-treatments. Including sandblasting, shot peening, electrochemical polishing and chemical polishing to improve the surface state of stainless steel before passivation treatment.
