Aluminium Anodising
Anodising
Anodising is the process of creating a
controlled oxide coating on aluminium; it
converts the surface of aluminium into a
durable & corrosion resistant finish.
It provides a silver coloured finish reflecting
the natural colour of the metal, however,
components can also be dyed in an exciting
range of colours, such as gold, blue, red,
black & green, to provide eye-catching
effects. Anodised coatings provide an
enhancement in properties over the base
material particularly in respect to wear,
corrosion, temperature resistance and
electrical insulation.
An alternative anodised finish namely Hard
Anodising can be achieved by careful control of the anodising conditions. This process
results in an extremely hard metal surface to
a specified thickness, which exhibits excellent
electrical insulation properties and very high
corrosion and wear resistance.
Chromate Conversion Coatings 
Commonly referred to by the trade name
Alocrom, Chromate Conversion Coatings
provide good levels of corrosion resistance
combined with low electrical resistance.
Frequently specified as a base coat prior to
the application of paint or powder coating,
this chemical treatment is applied by dip or
brush. The thickness of the coating is 
approx.
0.3 microns, Alocrom treated components are
not suitable for areas subject to abrasion.
