Anodising technology has been around for almost a century, during which time the process has been refined and improved to deliver consistent, high quality outcomes with a range of different applications. Here are just some of the myriad benefits of the anodising process.
1-Corrosion resistance
The anodising process locks in the natural aspect of the metal to protect against corrosion even in particularly severe environments, such as marine and city settings.
2-Abrasion resistance
As aluminium oxide is an extremely hard compound which scores 9 on the Mohs scale, anodised surfaces benefit from excellent abrasion and superior scratch resistance.
3-No chalking or fading
The formation of a fine layer of powder during the weathering process is known as chalking and it’s very common. Anodising prevents chalking from developing, even when surfaces are exposed to challenging conditions, including humid climates and marine locations.
4-Zero adhesion failure risk
The electrolytic process of anodising transforms the metal’s surface rather than just applying a coating. This means that there’s no chance of cracking, peeling or chipping, even on joints or cut edges.
5-Impermeable
When an anodic layer is properly sealed, it’s impossible to penetrate. If you’re interested in the hard anodising process, always seek out an experienced provider such as poeton.co.uk/surface-treatments/anodising/hard-anodising, who will guarantee high quality results.
6-Uniformity
Anodising is an immersion process, which offers a highly regular and uniform finish on the majority of textured surfaces and shapes, including mesh, perforated sheets, and stucco surfaces. This means there’s no chance of the orange peel effect, which can occur with other coating processes.
