Control of the pickling and passivation process

ETCHING AND PASSIVATION PROCESS CONTROL

Methods of surface inspection and passivation layer testing of stainless steels - Q&A

Krystian Idzikowski – Engineer, a graduate of the Silesian University of Technology (Faculty of Environmental and Energy Engineering) and Gdańsk University of Technology (Faculty of Chemistry). Technical Director at Chimimeca Polska, with hands-on practical expertise and a pioneer of numerous technical solutions.

This webinar is dedicated to discussing methods and techniques for testing and inspecting the surfaces of stainless steel and its associated chemical treatment processes, including:

• Checking magnetic properties
• Checking surface pH
• Visual inspection under white light
• Inspection under ultraviolet light
• Pure solvent wipe test
• Electrochemical potential measurement
• “White cloth” test
• Reagent tests (ferroxyl, copper sulfate, palladium)
• Monitoring pickling bath parameters
