Пример
The passivation of stainless steel helps it resist rust even in wet conditions.
Пример
Without passivation, the metal started to corrode quickly.
Пример
What methods can we use for the passivation of metals?
Контекст: «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.
Пример
The passivation of the circuit helps prevent unwanted reactions that might cause the device to malfunction.
Пример
If we don't carry out passivation, the component could become damaged by electrical interference.
Пример
Why is passivation important for the longevity of electronic devices?
