Aluminium is a useful material, both for its light weight and resistance to corrosion. This resistance can be improved further with various treatments, one of the more popular being anodizing. This is ...

Architectural sheet metal applications often require a material that is durable, can be colored or finished, remains clean and beautiful over time. With its natural, brilliant look, hard anodic ...

Anodizing aluminium, the process of electrolytic build up of the metal’s the oxide layer in the presence of dyes to create colored effects, is such a well-established process that we probably all have ...

Due to safety, cost, health and environmental factors, there is a lot of pressure to use alternatives to CAA and hexavalent chromium. This project has strived to develop innovative chromate-free ...

Anodizing is widely used for protecting aluminum via an oxidic protection layer against corrosion. The bath where the anodizing is carried out contains mainly sulfuric acid, aluminum-sulfate and water ...

Aluminum has trace amounts of other alloys and elements, such as (zinc, magnesium, and silicon) present in the alloy. These other elements do not respond the same as the aluminum does during anodizing ...
