Our Aluminum Anodizing Services offer a reliable solution to improve the durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal of your aluminum parts. With our advanced anodizing processes, we create a protective oxide layer on the surface, providing enhanced protection and customization options for your components.
Anodizing type II
| Surface preparation | Colors | Glossiness | Cosmetic availability | Thickness** | Visual appearance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| As machined (Ra 3.2μm / Ra 126μin) | Clear, Black, Red, Blue, Orange, Gold | Glossy (Above 20 GU) | No | 50μm to 150μm | Parts are anodized directly after machining. Machining marks will be visible. |
| Bead blasted | Clear, Black, Red, Blue, Orange, Gold | Matte (Below 10 GU) | Cosmetic on request | for clear: 8 to 12μm(0.0003” to 0.0004”) black and color: 12 to 16μm(0.0004” to 0.0006”) | Grainy texture, matte finish |
| Bead blasted | Clear, Black, Red, Blue, Orange, Gold | Glossy (Above 20 GU) | Cosmetic on request | for clear: 8 to 12μm(0.0003” to 0.0004”) black and color: 12 to 16μm(0.0004” to 0.0006”) | Grainy texture, glossy finish |

The Hubs anodizing process
Anodizing is an electrolytic process both for protecting aluminum parts against wear and corrosion and for improving cosmetic appearances. Let’s break down the basic steps for anodizing a part:
- Connect the part to an anode
- Submerge the part in acidic electrolyte solution
- Apply a cathode to a metal electrode in the solution
- Positive ions react with negative O2 ions and the surface becomes porous
- This grows a layer of aluminum oxide on the part
- Use corrosion inhibitors or colored dyes for cosmetic purposes
- Seal the nanopores
