Anodizing

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that uniformly converts the surface of aluminum into a durable layer of aluminum oxide. This oxide film enhances the metal’s corrosion and abrasion resistance, while also improving paint adhesion and cosmetic appearance. In addition to its protective properties, anodizing increases wear resistance, provides electrical insulation, and allows for color customization through dyeing, making it ideal for both functional and decorative applications.

Hardcoat Anodize

Hardcoat Anodizing, also known as Type III Anodizing, it is similar to the standard sulfuric acid anodizing process but produces a much thicker and more durable aluminum oxide coating, typically around 0.002″.

This dense, wear-resistant layer offers exceptional protection against abrasion, corrosion, and general wear and tear, making it ideal for high-performance or heavy-use applications.

In accordance with specification requirements, parts are processed through a full cycle of cleaning, etching, degreasing, dyeing, and sealing, as needed to meet the desired finish and functional characteristics.

  • Hardcoat Anodize Dyed (Black, Red, Gold, Gray, Blue, Olive Drab)

    (MIL-A-8625 Type 3 Class 2) (AMS-A-8625) (AMS-2482)

Sulfuric Anodize

Sulfuric anodizing is a cosmetic and protective finish that forms a controlled aluminum oxide coating on aluminum parts, significantly enhancing corrosion resistance.

Depending on specification, parts undergo a full processing cycle, including cleaning, etching, deoxidizing, optional dyeing, and sealing, to achieve the desired appearance and performance characteristics.

This widely used anodizing method offers excellent paint adhesion, improved wear resistance, and is available in a variety of color finishes for enhanced aesthetics.

  • Anodize Clear
    (MIL-A-8625 Type 2 Class 1)
  • Anodize Dyed (Black, Red, Gold, Gray, Blue, Olive Drab)
    (MIL-A-8625 Type 2 Class 2) (AMS-A-8625) (AMS-2471)
