One technique in modern cycles and surface modifications is a small but effective player — chromic corrosive anodizing. This finish isn’t a basic method; rather, it’s a groundbreaking metal surface transformation that upgrades toughness and prevents degradation while providing an appealing aesthetic. From aviation to consumer gadgets, chromic acid anodizing is popular for its useful […]

Ensuring your parts are sufficiently finished to withstand environmental conditions is a critical consideration for every product. And among the most popular methods of environmental protection is sulfuric acid anodizing. There are several types of anodizing, and the Mil-PRF-8625 specification lays out the different methods: Type I, Type II and Type III.  This article focuses […]

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that deposits an oxide layer on a metallic surface to provide corrosion protection — and anodized coatings may be dyed in various colors. Hard anodizing, when compared to regular anodizing, creates a thicker, more durable, and wear-resistant aluminum oxide layer. Hard anodizing is also known as “Type III anodizing” per […]

The Second Law of Thermodynamics declares that everything tends to move into a state of disorder. We all know what happens when metal is exposed to the elements: deterioration. When designing and creating your products, the last thing you want to discover is a layer of deteriorated metal in the form of oxidation, corrosion, or […]

Aluminum Anodizing Overview The anodizing process (sometimes known as anodization) converts the surface of aluminum into a thicker, more uniform oxide layer through an electrolytic process. Electrochemically anodizing aluminum produces an aluminum oxide surface that has: Corrosion resistance A pleasing appearance Wear resistance Improved paint or adhesive bonding Improved lubricity Improved plating adhesion This article […]

Anodizing increases corrosion resistance and enhances your product’s aesthetic appearance. Watch our video to see the anodizing process in action! Anodizing Materials Aluminum is the most ideal material for anodizing. ‍ The Anodizing Process Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process that grows the natural oxide layer on cnc machining aluminum parts to protect them from […]
