Anodized coatings

Anodized coatings are a protective, durable layer created by an electrochemical process that thickens the natural oxide layer on metals like aluminum. This process enhances the metal's resistance to corrosion, scratches, and wear while allowing for decorative finishes and color customization. Anodizing does not involve adding a separate coating; instead, it alters the metal’s surface at a microscopic level, making it stronger and more resilient without compromising its metal properties. This treatment is commonly used in aerospace, architecture, consumer electronics, and cookware for improved longevity and aesthetics.
