From the rust store: Passivation is the process of treating or coating a metal in order to reduce the chemical reactivity of its surface. In stainless steel, passivation means removing the free iron from the surface of the metal using an acid solution to prevent rust.

The rules are too stringent, and the FRA needs to admit it and back off a bit.

My questions remains - what is the status of the Siemens car order? Andy Date: 01/10/19 12:56 Re: Where does the delivery of Siemens Bi-Levels for states stand Author: mundo The status is in the first post.
Date: 01/10/19 13:35 Re: Where does the delivery of Siemens Bi-Levels for states stand Author: 79mph That is good news. Siemens seems to be a decent company that believes in following through on their contractual obligations.
The recent Trump executive order did relax the crashworthiness rules. Too late for this contract though. Hopefully Joe Boardman's ghosts won't be there micromanaging this deal into oblivion. Let's also just hope that semi-drivers and trucking companies in Illinois suddently learn how to navigate, properly maintain, and corrrectly operate their rigs. Edited 1 time(s).

I am not aware of any such. Thanks.
