I'd think it's the limit at which there is no longer any iron that can be drawn by the passivation solution. Certain alloys have higher iron concentrations...those with high iron levels would require longer passivation times than alloys with low iron levels. Either way, there is a point reached at which no more iron can be removed. If I remember correctly, pipelines would be passivated with a hot acetic acid solution. A detector was used to measure the iron that was freed up. Once the iron levels decreased to a certain point, passivation was considered complete.

I need to find information on the passivation process for stainless steel. Where should I look?
There is an explanation of passivation and the use of passivation at PF Online Passivation of Stainless Steel. Try the guide to passivation of stainless steel at the British Stainless Steel Association. It discusses the use of nitric acid and citric acid treatments.
How can Cold Rolled Steel be protected from rust?
By means of passivation in particular yellow passivation we can prevent the CRS from rust. Right ?
What is steel passivation?
Passivation is removing the free iron and other exogenous materials from the surface so that a good passive layer can be formed. In the case of carbon steel, this is not possible. After cleaning with a good cleaner, there are a variety of coatings that can be used for carbon steel to provide a corrosion resistant layer, but passivation is not the correct process. For details see the link in the left column.
What is passivation?
Passivation includes making one material passive in relation to another before using them together. It is used with such materials as aluminum, iron, stainless steel, and copper.
What are the mechanisms of the passivation process?
Under normal conditions of pH and oxygen concentration, passivation is seen in such materials as aluminium, iron, zinc, magnesium, copper, stainless steel, titanium, and silicon. Ordinary steel can form a passivating layer in alkali environments, as rebar does in concrete. The conditions necessary for passivation are recorded in Pourbaix diagrams. The Passivation process is typically an immersion process involving nitric acid. Passivation is the process of making a material "passive" in relation to another material prior to using the materials together

Do the stainless properties of stainless steel disappear if it is melted and reused?
Stainless steel remains stainless after recycling. It resists rusting primarily because of the chromium content of the alloy. The chromium oxidizes to form a protective layer. The formation of this oxide layer is improved by a process called passivation. There are different grades of stainless steel having varying proportions of chromium, nickel and other elements so if you want to get top-dollar for stainless steel scrap, you need to segregate it.
