Хемијска пасивност

Када се извесни метали третирају одређеним реагенсима, нпр. азотном киселином или неким другим оксидационим агенсима, реактивност према реагенсу који је изазвао ову промену знатно је смањена. Овај феномен се назива хемијском пасивности (пасивизацијом, пасивитетом) и врло је сличан електрохемијској пасивности.

• ASTM (1. 3. 2010), ASTM A967: Standard specification for chemical passivation treatments for stainless steel parts (Rev 05e2 изд.), doi:10.1520/A0967-05E02. The most common commercial spec for passivation of stainless steel parts. Used in various industries; latest revision is active for new designs; legacy designs may still require older revisions or older standards, if the engineering has not been revisited. CS1 одржавање: Формат датума (веза)
• SAE (8. 7. 2011), AMS 2700: Passivation of corrosion resistant steels. (Rev D изд.). AMS specs are frequently used in the aerospace industry, and are sometimes stricter than other standards. Latest revision is active for new designs; legacy designs may still require older revisions or older standards, if the engineering has not been revisited. CS1 одржавање: Формат датума (веза)
• SAE (16. 2. 2005), AMS QQ-P-35: Passivation treatments for corrosion-resistant steel (Rev A изд.). AMS-QQ-P-35 superseded U.S. federal spec QQ-P-35 on 4 April 1997. AMS-QQ-P-35 itself was canceled and superseded in February 2005 by AMS 2700. CS1 одржавање: Формат датума (веза)
• U.S. government, QQ-P-35: Federal specification: Passivation treatments for corrosion-resistant steel (Rev C изд.). U.S. federal spec QQ-P-35 was superseded by AMS-QQ-P-35 on 4 April 1997 as part of the changeover instituted by the Perry memo. Both are now outdated; they are inactive for new designs, but legacy designs may still require their use, if the engineering has not been revisited. 
• Chromate conversion coating (chemical film) per MIL-DTL-5541F for aluminium and aluminium alloy parts
• A standard overview on black oxide coatings is provided in MIL-HDBK-205, Phosphate & Black Oxide Coating of Ferrous Metals. Many of the specifics of Black Oxide coatings may be found in MIL-DTL-13924 (formerly MIL-C-13924). This Mil-Spec document additionally identifies various classes of Black Oxide coatings, for use in a variety of purposes for protecting ferrous metals against rust.
