Anodizing

Basic information

Anodizing is a crucial process within the metal finishing industry, particularly for aluminum products. Anodizing refers to the electrolytic oxidation of aluminum, which enhances the natural oxide layer on the metal through anodic oxidation. Unlike conventional electroplating methods, anodizing involves the dissolution of the aluminum surface to form a protective layer of aluminum oxide. This oxide layer serves as a barrier, safeguarding the aluminum component from corrosion. Manufacturer details: DR.-ING. MAX SCHLÖTTER GMBH & CO. KG, based in 73312 Geislingen, Germany.
