passivation
Prononciation : [ˌpæs.ɪˈveɪ.ʃən]
Mot
Contexte : « chemistry »
(noun) a process that makes a metal less reactive or more resistant to corrosion. Imagine putting on a protective layer that stops the metal from rusting or reacting with things in the environment.
Exemple
The passivation of stainless steel helps it resist rust even in wet conditions.
Exemple
Without passivation, the metal started to corrode quickly.
Exemple
What methods can we use for the passivation of metals?
Contexte : « electronics »
(noun) the process of making a surface or component inactive or non-reactive. It's like switching something off so it won't interfere with other parts. For example, some electronic circuits need passivation to work well.
Exemple
The passivation of the circuit helps prevent unwanted reactions that might cause the device to malfunction.
Exemple
If we don't carry out passivation, the component could become damaged by electrical interference.
Exemple
Why is passivation important for the longevity of electronic devices?
