Anodizing
Anodizing is a metal finishing process that uses oxidation to convert the surface of a metallic to a ceramic state. While mainly used when plating aluminum, anodizing is also compatible with other nonferrous metals such as titanium, magnesium, stainless steel, zinc, copper alloys and more. Anodized aluminum is typically used for:
- Protecting satellites while in space
- Enhancing durability of roofs, walls and ceilings
- Manufacturing computer hardware, household appliances and various building materials
Key Benefits of Anodizing
Anodized finishing offers a wide range of important benefits including:
- Increased resistance against the destructive forces of corrosion
- Greater resistance to wear and tear from normal usage and handling
- Development of a stronger, harder, more durable surface on the metallic
- Creation of a more visually appealing finish
- Brighter, more enduring color of the finish
