ANODIZE (Sulfuric)

Anodizing is the chemical process used on aluminum in which the workpiece is anodic and the conversion of the aluminum surface into aluminum oxide. Some of the primary reasons for this process include: increased corrosion resistance, increased paint adhesion, allow for subsequent plating operations, improve decorative appearance, provide electrical insulation and create unique, decorative colors. The anodizing process is performed in an acidic bath and is temperature and current controlled.
