Finishing is priced by area, spec and batch size, with per-batch minimums. These are directional ranges. Your quote depends on the parts and the spec.

Passivation chemically cleans stainless steel to restore its natural corrosion-resistant oxide layer. Sourcing passivation in Toronto? Made to Spec matches your job to vetted Canadian shops. Describe your part once, process, material, tolerance, quantity and any required certifications, and our team routes your RFQ to shops that can actually make it, then comes back with 3 to 5 quotes. It is free for buyers, with no account needed, and your drawing stays in Canada.

The attributes that decide a good match are the specific process, the materials a shop is tooled and experienced for, the tolerance class they can hold, and, for regulated work, their certifications. An AS9100 shop is effectively mandatory for aerospace parts, ISO 13485 for medical devices, and IATF 16949 for automotive production. We confirm those before we route your job.

Examples of what can be made

  • Stainless machined and fabricated parts
  • Medical and surgical components
  • Food and pharma equipment
  • Corrosion-critical stainless assemblies

What passivation in Toronto typically costs

Passivation is a relatively low-cost chemical process priced by part size, quantity and spec (ASTM A967, AMS 2700). It is often a required final step on stainless for medical, food and aerospace work. Batching parts and clear spec callouts keep it economical.

Why source through Made to Spec

One RFQ instead of cold-calling ten shops. We only route to Canadian shops we have vetted for the specific capability and certifications your job needs, so the quotes you get back are from shops that can genuinely fulfill the work.

How to spec your part

  1. Tell us the base material, part size and quantity, and the substrate condition (bare, rusted, or previously coated).
  2. Specify the colour, spec or thickness you need (a RAL colour, a MIL spec, or a plating thickness in microns).
  3. Say whether any areas need masking, threads kept clear, or racking points left uncoated.
  4. Share your timeline and whether parts ship back to you or on to another shop.

Frequently asked

What certifications should a passivation shop have for aerospace work?

AS9100 is the aerospace quality standard and is effectively mandatory for flight and defence parts. It builds on ISO 9001 with added requirements for traceability, risk and configuration management. Tell us if your part needs it and we only route to certified shops.

What are typical lead times for production passivation in Toronto?

Prototype and short-run work often turns in 1 to 2 weeks; production runs typically run 2 to 4 weeks depending on material availability, finishing and shop capacity. Share your timeline in the RFQ and we prioritise shops that can hit it.

Can shops ship parts to the United States?

Yes. Under CUSMA, qualifying parts move tariff-free across the border. Ask for cross-border-ready shops and we route to ones that already handle the customs documentation and freight.

What is CGP registration and when do I need a CGP-registered shop?

The Controlled Goods Program (CGP) is Canada's domestic industrial security program under the Defence Production Act. A shop that examines, possesses or transfers controlled goods or controlled technical data in Canada must be CGP-registered. If your part or its drawings are controlled goods, common in defence and some aerospace work, we route only to registered shops.
