Anodizing is an electrochemical treatment that enhances
the strength and improves the appearance of aluminum surfaces.
Preparation
Cleaning and deoxidation of aluminum to remove impurities.
Anodizing
Immersing aluminum in an acid solution with the application of electric current, creating a protective oxide layer.
Coloring
Addition of colorants for varied finishes.
Clogging
Closing the pores of the oxide layer to increase durability.
The effects of anodizing
- Increased corrosion resistance
- Improved durability
- Varied aesthetic options
- Electrically insulate
- Improve the appearance
