Even more versatile aluminum

Anodized

Anodizing is an artificial word and stands for the electrolytic oxidationof aluminiumand aluminium alloys, which produces a highly corrosion- and wear-resistant oxide layer. This layer not only improves the protection and durability of components, but also offers a wide range of options for a decorative appearance, making it particularly valuable in many areas.

Procedure at a glance

Anodizing

In the anodic-electrolytic oxidation of aluminium and its alloys, aluminum is converted into aluminum oxide (Al2O3) by an electric current in a solution. In contrast to conventional electroplating, the aluminium oxide layer forms directly at the contact zone between the metal and the oxide, which has numerous advantages. As specialists in aluminium electroplating, we have mastered the anodizing process as well as other finishing methods and carry out all preparatory work in-house.
