Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. The process is called anodizing because the part to be treated forms the anode electrode of an electrolytic cell.

2024年9月28日 · Anodizing uses acid to create a corrosion- and wear-resistant layer on top of a metal. The process of anodizing also changes the crystal structure near the surface of substances, like aluminum alloy, which allows you to dye the metal a bright color.

Anodizing is a key step in manufacturing aluminum CNC machined parts. An electrochemical process that involves coating a metal part with an oxide surface layer, anodizing gives the part additional sturdiness and a more attractive finish.

Southwest Metal Finishing offers Anodize Type II (Sulfuric) and Type III (Hard Coat) as well as “Chem Film” Conversion. We anodize both clear and color, for those who prefer a bright dip application; we offer those services as well. Anodize & Chem film is all we do and consider ourselves to be “experts” in the field.

2024年11月8日 · Anodizing creates a thin coat on non-ferrous metal parts, enhancing mechanical properties like strength, hardness, corrosion, and wear resistance. It is an electrolytic process offering many color options and is popular in industries requiring performance and aesthetics.

2024年8月12日 · Anodizing is a type of surface finish known for enhancing sturdiness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and the aesthetic of non-ferrous parts, typically aluminum, and its alloys. It involves creating a thin protective oxide layer on the substrate surface with an electrochemical process.

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish. Aluminum is ideally suited to anodizing, although other nonferrous metals, such as magnesium and titanium, also can be anodized.
