Anodising (a method of enhancing the surface properties of aluminium)

The aluminium oxide layer can be built to greater thickness by the process of electrolytic anodising.

Nowadays many cap badges in the British Army are made of a material called "stay-brite" (Anodised Aluminium, Anodising is an electro-plating process resulting in lightweight shiny badge), this is used because it is cheap, flexible and does not require as much maintenance as brass badges.

Printed anodizing is sealed to prevent or reduce dye bleed out.

If so, the thickness of the anodizing has to be taken into account when choosing the machining dimension.

However, a new anodizing and electronics moved into Büren in the end of the 20th century.

In 1979, the anodizing and electrocoating plant for aluminium profiles, with 120 workers, was started.

Anodizing is supposed to prevent this, but in time the anodizing often wears off.

Aluminium anodizing is usually performed in an acid solution which slowly dissolves the aluminium oxide.

Integral color anodizing is generally done with organic acids, but the same effect has been produced in laboratory with very dilute sulfuric acid.

A 2012 special edition Generation 6 Intimidator was also released with multi-colored anodizing and the body surface milled into the shape of flames.

Oxalic acid anodizing was first patented in Japan in 1923 and later widely used in Germany, particularly for architectural applications.

Very thin coatings similar to those produced by chromic anodizing are known as Type IIB.

Organic acid anodizing is called Type IC by MIL-A-8625.

Because the body of the Phantom is aluminum the popularity of anodizing has superseded powder coating as the preferred method for imparting a more customized appearance.

Integral color anodizing was originally performed with oxalic acid, but sulfonated aromatic compounds containing oxygen, particularly sulfosalicylic acid, have been more common since the 1960s.

After anodizing or double anodizing is complete, Anomatic's metal stamping and finishing department then produces precise, close-tolerance high volume metal parts.

In conventional anodizing, this layer of oxide is grown on the surface of the metal by the application of electrical potential, while the part is immersed in an acidic electrolyte.

He retained the titanium for the liners and bolsters but chose to bead-blast them a flat grey matte color as opposed to the colorful anodizing which used to appear on his knives.

The phone was originally released in four colors including Black, Vandyke Brown, Anodizing Silver, and Elegant Gold, but is now available in ten colors, most common four are black, white, pink and most recent, purple.

Standards for thick sulfuric anodizing are given by MIL-A-8625 Type III, AMS 2469, BS 5599, BS EN 2536 and the obsolete AMS 2468 and DEF STAN 03-26/1.

This reaction can be useful in etching, removing anodizing, or converting a polished surface to a satin-like finish, but without further passivation such as anodizing or alodining the surface may become degraded, either under normal use or in severe atmospheric conditions.
