Anodizing
|
|
Anodizing is a process for finishing aluminum alloys that employs electrolytic oxidation of the aluminum surface to produce a protective oxide coating. The anodic coating consists of hydrated aluminum oxide. It is considered resistant to corrosion and abrasion. Conventional coatings are 0.1 to 1.0 mils thick and are mostly transparent, but may be colored. Anodizing preserves the natural luster and texture of the metal itself. An anodized coating is hard, durable, will never peel and, under normal conditions, will never wear through. This category includes hard coat anodizing.
|
| |
Chemical Finish / Conversion
|
|
Coatings are produced by applying a chemical or electrochemical treatment to the metal surface. Chemical coatings and finishes are corrosion resistant and provide a surface with improved adhesion surface for primers and paints. They are not intended for use as decorative coatings. Chemical finishes include black oxide and phosphate coatings.
|
| |
Electropolishing / Electrolytic Finishing
|
|
Electropolishing or electrolytic finishing is often called a reverse plating process. Electrochemical in nature, electropolishing uses a combination of rectified current and a blended chemical electrolyte bath to remove flaws from the surface of a metal part. The resulting surface is clean and bright. Electrolytic or electrochemical machining (ECM) processes use a contoured electrode in combination with an electrolytic process to control material removal, deburring, geometry and radius generation.
|
| |
Hard Coating / Anodizing
|
|
Hard anodized films, treatment layers or coatings have a higher hardness or abrasion resistance compared to similar coatings or surface treatments. Hard anodizing is produced at lower temperatures compared to standard anodizing, which develops higher hardness, darker appearance and allows thicker anodized film layers.
|
| |
Passivation
|
|
Passivation removes "free iron" contamination left behind on the surface of stainless steel during machining and fabricating. These contaminants may drive premature corrosion and ultimately result in deterioration of the component if not removed. The passivation process also facilitates the formation of a thin, transparent oxide film that protects the stainless steel from corrosion.
