Our expertise
ASTM A967 Medical Passivation
Our company also does passivation process on request. This process consists in removing a part of the iron layer from the surface of the metal part and so it creates a thin protective oxide barrier. By doing so, this leads to a long-life span of protection against corrosion. This method is mandatory for all metals [...]

Passivation
Passivation enables an efficient slowing down process of corrosion of the parts and can be carried out of all types of metal. The principal Is to dip the parts in acid for a precise period of time and then to rinse generously. Equipement Gorce SAS is equipped with a specially dedicated room for passivation, with [...]
Sand blasting
Sand blasting enables us to strip, remove polish, de-oxidise, giving a roughness, smoothness and to prepare the surface before painting. The term sanding comes from the fact that originally sand was used as an abrasive. The principal Sanding is an industrial cleaning technique for surfaces by using a high speed projected abrasive on the material. [...]
Cleaning
According to the sector of activity, cleaning must be carried out to the customer’s requirements. For the medical sectors for example, we must return the parts extremely clean. The principal The parts are dipped in different tanks for a certain length of time which cleans them completely and removes any trace of polishing paste. Equipement [...]
