Scientists in Saudi Arabia have developed a new passivation process for n-type silicon solar cells, which they say could offer a simpler, lower-cost alternative to current processes used in ...

Many stainless-steel automotive parts must undergo passivation to ensure they are adequately corrosion-resistant and not prone to early failure, two factors critical for performance and a long ...

New research reveals how corrosion happens on the atomic level. When water vapor meets metal, the resulting corrosion can lead to mechanical problems that harm a machine's performance. Through a ...

Laboratory tests can determine critical cleaning parameters for passivation treatments used to prevent rouge on GMP stainless-steel equipment. Stainless steel is usually the preferred substrate for ...

The author describes the types and sources of rouge and explains ways to prevent and mitigate this problem. Stainless steel is the primary construction material for pharmaceutical and ...
