Passivation of Steel with Aqueous Amine Solutions.
Abstract
This is a process that allows previously cleaned steel (which may have been cleaned in any of several different ways) to be passivated with a rinse of almost pure water, that is made slightly alkaline to inhibit corrosion, and flash rusting such that any small residue remaining of the steel surface after drying of the water will itself evaporate and in such a manner that any remaining residue will be incorporated into a subsequently applied non-aqueous protective coating without leaving any water-soluble or ionic residue on the surface of the steel that will cause corrosion or affect adhesion of the protective coating.
