Architectural sheet metal applications often require a material that is durable, can be colored or finished, remains clean and beautiful over time. With its natural, brilliant look, hard anodic ...

The lustrous patina that protects the backside of Apple’s new iPad Mini isn’t just some cheap shellac or sealant coat—it’s actually “grown” on the metal itself in an electrochemical process known as ...

Aluminium is a useful material, both for its light weight and resistance to corrosion. This resistance can be improved further with various treatments, one of the more popular being anodizing. This is ...

Anodizing is an electrochemical process some jewelers use to change the color of metals such as titanium, aluminum, and niobium. Dipping a reactive metal into a "bath" mixture of low-sudsing detergent ...

Anodizing aluminium, the process of electrolytic build up of the metal’s the oxide layer in the presence of dyes to create colored effects, is such a well-established process that we probably all have ...

Lorin Industries, Inc., the global industry leader in the innovation and production of coil anodized aluminum, announces it will launch a new batch anodizing line at the beginning of 2024. This ...

Anodizing is widely used for protecting aluminum via an oxidic protection layer against corrosion. The bath where the anodizing is carried out contains mainly sulfuric acid, aluminum-sulfate and water ...

Aluminum has trace amounts of other alloys and elements, such as (zinc, magnesium, and silicon) present in the alloy. These other elements do not respond the same as the aluminum does during anodizing ...
