APT\u2019s precision passivation line utilizes specific process controls, ultrasonic cleaning, multi-stage hot deionized ultrasonic water rinses, and a dedicated stainless steel drying oven to process small to micro components and exotic materials utilized within the medical and dental industries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">Advanced Plating Technologies provides passivation of titanium and other medical alloys to the demanding requirements of ISO 13485 for medical device manufacturers. APT can provide Installation Qualification (IQ), Operation Qualification (OQ) and Performance Qualification (PQ) validation of passivation of titanium and medical alloys to ensure specification compliance and consistency in processing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">The primary difference between commercial passivation and precision passivation is the smaller batch sizes, high-level cleaning and inspection of parts used for medical applications. APT is a 13485 certified metal finishing job shop that has serviced the medical industry since the 1950s. Medical parts are not processed on a precision line separate from commercial passivation which includes up to six stages of ultrasonics in cleaning, passivation, rinsing steps as well as a final isopropyl alcohol (IPA) rinse if required.\u00a0 With Precision Passivation, parts are inspected under high magnification and load integrity is maintained and provided on all packaging.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7379&#8243;

Advanced Plating Technologies employs two precision passivation lines that offer both citric and nitric acid passivation of titanium and medical alloys only. No commercial product is processed on either of these lines. At APT the cleaners, rinses and passivation chemistry are made up new for each order to prevent any potential for chemistry degradation or contamination from lot to lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white; font-size: 15px;\">The precision passivation of titanium or other medical alloys begins with cleaning. Medical grade ultrasonic cleaners suited for the specific alloy are made for each order. Parts are ultrasonic cleaned to couple both sonic, thermal and chemical cleaning of the parts. The passivation solution for titanium or medical alloy components is tailored to each alloy as specified by customer or ASTM specification. After passivation, the parts are neutralized and rinsed in a multi-stage hot deionized ultrasonic water rinsing system with the final rinse measured to 20 MW-cm for the highest quality rinse. After rinsing, parts are dried in a dedicated, stainless steel oven to ensure complete evaporation of residual water.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;

It has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals as well as the highest optical reflectivity in the visible range (gold plating is superior in the infrared range). Silver offers excellent high-temperature lubricity making it an excellent coating for anti-galling and anti-seizing applications on high temperature nuts and bearing surfaces with service temperatures up to 1200F. 99.9% pure, matte silver offers excellent solderability and wire bonding ideal for lead frames and circuit applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white; font-size: 15px;\">Silver has been known since ancient times for making jewelry and high-end utensils and is generally considered a precious metal. In reality silver is more properly designated a semi-precious metal due to the fact that it readily tarnishes, forming silver sulfide on the surface when exposed to air or water containing an oxidant and source of sulfur.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;image&#8221; parallax_style=&#8221;vcpb-default&#8221; bg_image_new=&#8221;id^7453|url^https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/APT-Groups-Tall-2000-Wash-scaled.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^APT-Groups-Tall-2000-Wash|description^null&#8221; bg_image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; bg_img_attach=&#8221;fixed&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1731509908154{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 64px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 64px !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #dbdbdb !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;capabilities&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1730919587355{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;A brief summary of IQ, OQ and PQ validation for passivation of titanium and medical-grade alloys is provided below:&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:32px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1732219606793{margin-bottom: 64px !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;title&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1731091914314{margin-right: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 8px !important;margin-left: 40px !important;border-top-width: 2px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;border-left-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-color: #57585a !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-color: #323232 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;capabilityBox&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Installation Qualification (IQ)&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23e71d24&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1732219624766{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 8px !important;padding-right: 8px !important;padding-bottom: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;background-color: #323232 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1732219634925{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 8px !important;padding-right: 16px !important;padding-bottom: 8px !important;padding-left: 16px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"color: white;\">Provide objective evidence that the equipment used in the process adheres to the manufacturer\u2019s specifications and that the recommendations of manufacturer are considered in the installation.

It is uncommon that descaling is required in passivation of titanium or other medical grade components. In the event that such descaling is required, APT will work with the manufacturer to develop a protocol that will descale the parts effectively without etching or attacking the alloy. Typically, hydrofluoric acid is avoided due to the extreme handling risks that this acid involves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">ASTM A380 is unique in that it references the appearance of the component in the recommended callout for the passivation process.
