Anodising
Anodising is an electrochemical process that develops an aluminium oxide coat on the surface of the part or product. This protects the product from wear and tear while improving the aesthetic
Anodized aluminium products and components are used in thousands of commercial, industrial and consumer applications, including structures and architectural categories of all types, appliances, commercial and residential building products, food preparation equipment, furniture, motor vehicle components.
The most widely used anodising specification, MIL-A-8625, defines three types of aluminium anodising.
Anodising Specification
MIL-A-8625
Type I Chromic acid anodizing (conventional) |
Type IB Chromic acid anodizing (low voltage method) |
Type IC Non-chromic acid anodizing (for use as a non-chromate alternative for Type I and IB coatings) |
Type II Sulfuric acid anodizing (conventional) |
Type IIB Sulfuric acid anodizing (for use as a non-chromate alternative for Type I and IB coatings) |
Type III Hard anodize |
Class 1 Non-dyed |
Class 2 Dyed |
