Anodizing
|
Anodizing is an electrochemical process used to enhance the corrosion resistance, appearance, and surface properties of metal parts, particularly aluminum. | Aluminum, Metals | Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold | Rough, smooth, metallic |
Powder Coating
|
Powder coating is a popular and environmentally friendly method of applying a protective and decorative finish to various types of metal and even some non-metal surfaces. | Metals | White, Black, RAL and Pantone | Glossy, fine, hardness |
Polishing
|
The primary goal of polishing is to create a smooth and reflective surface by removing imperfections, scratches, and irregularities. | Metals | Silver gray | Bright, mirror, silk |
Chromate
|
Chromate, commonly known as a chemical thin film, is a conversion coating used as a corrosion inhibitor on aluminum. | Aluminum | Clear/ Slight yellow tint | Satin |
Bead blasting
|
Bead blasting, also known as abrasive blasting, is a surface preparation technique used to clean, finish, or texture a surface by forcibly propelling small, spherical abrasive materials, called "beads" or "media," at high speeds onto the surface being treated. | Aluminum, copper, stainless steel, steel | N/A | Grainy, slightly matte texture |
As machining
|
Machining is a subtractive manufacturing process in which a machine tool, typically a cutting tool, removes material from a workpiece to achieve the desired shape, dimensions, and surface finish. | Metals | N/A | Smooth, glossy finish |

Design Considerations For Anodized Parts
Increase the thickness of the part surface
Anodizing will form a layer of oxide on the surface of the metal part, which will increase the surface thickness. This may have an impact on the size and functionality of the parts, so it is recommended to block and cover threads, reams, or other critical surfaces before anodizing to ensure that their functionality is not affected.
Shelf marks
If the parts do not have holes, they may be hung on the conductive frame for anodizing treatment using spring clips, wire wrapping, or other methods. This may result in leaving small areas without oxidation treatment, known as “shelf marks”. If these areas have a significant impact on product performance, they need to be marked in the drawing to remind operators.
Conductivity
Anodizing will form an insulation layer, so the conductivity of the treated parts is poor. This needs to be considered in design and engineering to ensure that the electrical connections of the parts are not disturbed.
Rounding edges and corners
To prevent local overheating and burning caused by current concentration, all sharp corners on the workpiece should be rounded off. This can improve the uniformity and efficiency of the processing process.
Surface roughness
After hard anodizing treatment, the surface roughness may decrease, making the parts smoother. But if the workpiece already has a very smooth surface, it may lose some smoothness.
Special fixtures
Due to the high voltage and current required for hard anodizing, special fixtures must be designed to ensure good conductive contact of the workpiece. Otherwise, breakdown or burning of the contact part of the workpiece may occur, thereby affecting the treatment effect.

FAQ
What types of anodizing processes do you offer?
We provide several anodizing options including Type II (standard) and Type III (hardcoat) anodizing to meet different durability and appearance needs.
What materials can be anodized?
Primarily aluminum and its alloys, but certain other metals like titanium can also be anodized depending on project requirements.
Can anodizing improve corrosion resistance?
Yes, anodizing significantly enhances corrosion resistance by forming a thick oxide layer on the metal surface.
Are there color options available for anodized parts?
Yes, anodized parts can be dyed in a variety of colors such as black, gold, blue, red, and custom shades.
What is the typical thickness range for anodized coatings?
Coating thickness generally ranges from 5 to 25 microns for Type II anodizing and up to 100 microns for hardcoat anodizing.
How durable is the anodized surface against wear and abrasion?
Hardcoat anodizing provides excellent wear resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring high durability.
Can anodized parts be machined after the process?
Minor machining or finishing can be done post-anodizing, but it may affect the protective oxide layer.
What quality control measures do you use for anodizing?
We perform coating thickness tests, adhesion tests, and visual inspections to ensure compliance with specifications.
How should parts be prepared before anodizing?
Parts must be clean, free from oils, dirt, and machining residues. We recommend degreasing and pre-treatment to ensure quality anodizing.
What is the typical lead time for anodizing services?
Lead times vary based on order size and complexity but usually range from 1to 15 business days. Expedited options may be available.
