Anodic Oxidation Service

Anodic oxidation, electrochemical oxidation of metals or alloys. Aluminum and its alloys in the corresponding electrolyte and under specific process conditions, due to the action of external current, aluminum products (anodes) on the formation of a layer of oxide film process. Anodic oxidation, if not specified, usually refers to sulfuric acid anodizing.

In order to overcome the defects of surface hardness and wear resistance of aluminium alloy, extend its application range and prolong its service life, surface treatment technology has become an indispensable part in the use of aluminium alloy, and anodizing technology is the most widely used and most successful.

The so-called anodic oxidation of aluminum is an electrolytic oxidation process in which the surface of aluminum and aluminum alloys is usually converted into an oxide film, which has protective, decorative and some other functional characteristics. Anodizing of aluminium from this definition involves only part of the process of forming an anodic oxide film.

Using metal or alloy parts as anode, electrolysis is used to form oxide film on the surface. Metal oxide films change the surface state and properties, such as surface coloring, improving corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, protecting metal surface, etc.

In reality, anodizing of aluminum alloys is quite common.
