SHAPING METAL, CRAFTING EXCELLENCE
For those unfamiliar with anodising, it is a process that treats metal by applying a protective oxide layer, enhancing its durability and wear resistance for its intended applications.
While aluminum is the most commonly anodised metal, other materials, such as magnesium, can also undergo this process.
There are various types of anodising, including Chromic Acid Anodising, Hard Anodising, and Sulphuric Acid Anodising, each offering different benefits based on the specific metal being coated. This process has significantly contributed to aluminum’s widespread use in various industries. You can trust MEC to handle the anodising of your materials to ensure excellent results.
Anodising, known as an electrolytic passivation process, was first implemented on an industrial scale in 1923. It has been used in many innovative applications, including satellites and notable architectural projects.
One of the best aspects of anodising is its eco-friendliness. As sustainability becomes increasingly important, anodising offers an attractive option for metal coating.
Another advantage of anodising over other metal coating methods is its ability to allow for dyeing. This feature enables additional personalization options for products, such as those used in the iPod. Hard anodising is particularly popular in this sector, providing an attractive and long-lasting finish.
