What Aluminum Alloys Can Be Anodized?
Due to its chemical composition, aluminum alloys are often anodized. Anodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a protective coating on the surface of a piece of metal, typically aluminum. The anodized aluminum finish provides corrosion-resistance and allows for improved durability from the protective anodized aluminum. Anodization produces a micro-thin aluminum oxide coating that is…
