Anodized

Anodizing is a surface treatment of aluminum that consists of the formation of a layer of aluminum oxide in a controlled way, in which a continuous current is passed through the surface of the aluminum. This process provides a high level of protection against corrosion and a high resistance to surface abrasion. The protection layer varies between 5-7μm for indoor/mild environments, about 15 μm for outdoor and harsher climates and up to 20/25μm for industrial, marine, and extreme environments. Another peculiarity of anodizing is that, thanks to the porous structure of this anodic layer, it allows us to obtain a wide range of coloration.
