Pickling & Passivation at a Glance
ACT provides specialist pickling and passivation for stainless steel and alloy surfaces. We remove weld scale, heat tint, and surface contamination, restoring the chromium-oxide passive film that protects these materials in service. Using spray and immersion methods, we treat pipe spools, vessels, and fabricated assemblies — from new installation through to in-service remedial treatment.
