Anodizing Services

What is Anodizing?

Anodizing, or aluminum anodizing, is an advanced electrochemical process that strengthens aluminum, enhances corrosion resistance, and creates versatile surface finishes. From vibrant colors to matte or glossy textures, anodizing allows aluminum to be both durable and visually appealing.

Applications of Anodizing Types

Type I (Chromic Acid Anodize):

• Characteristics: A thin film with a grayish color.
• Applications: Provides high corrosion resistance but is not very hard. It is typically used in the aerospace industry.

Type II (Sulfuric Acid Anodize):

• Characteristics: A thicker film that offers good color absorption.
• Applications: Suitable for decorative applications and general industrial components.

Type III (Hard Anodize / Hard Coat):

• Characteristics: A very thick film (25–100 microns) that is extremely hard and highly wear-resistant.
• Applications: Ideal for machinery parts and components that require high strength.



Selecting Film Thickness

The choice of anodized film thickness depends on the intended application:

Film Thickness - Typical Applications

5–10 microns: General decorative applications

10–25 microns: Exterior architectural applications

25–50 microns: Heavy industrial use, machinery parts

50–100 microns: Hard anodizing for specialized applications

Key benefits of anodizing include:

• Strengthens the surface of aluminum
• Resistant to corrosion from weather and chemicals
• Reduces friction for improved performance
• Enhances aesthetics through coloring and dyeing options
• Environmentally friendly, with no heavy metal residues
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications
