Anodizing is an electrochemical process that enhances the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts, primarily aluminum. This process increases corrosion resistance, surface hardness, and wear resistance while allowing for the application of color. The anodizing process involves several key steps: cleaning, etching, anodizing, coloring, and sealing. Initially, the metal surface undergoes cleaning to remove any contaminants. Etching follows, which smooths the surface and prepares it for anodizing. During anodizing, the metal part is submerged in an acid electrolyte bath, and an electric current passes through, forming a thick oxide layer. This layer is porous, allowing for the absorption of dyes or pigments during the coloring stage. The final step, sealing, closes the pores, locking in the color and enhancing the surface's durability. Anodizing uses materials such as sulfuric acid for the electrolyte bath and various dyes for coloring. The process can produce a wide range of colors, from clear and black to vibrant hues, depending on the dye used. Anodized aluminum finds applications in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, architecture, and consumer electronics. In aerospace, anodized components offer lightweight yet durable solutions for aircraft parts. The automotive industry uses anodized parts for both functional and aesthetic purposes, such as trim and interior components. Architectural applications include anodized aluminum for building facades and window frames, providing weather resistance and aesthetic appeal. In consumer electronics, anodized aluminum enhances the appearance and durability of products like smartphones and laptops. Anodizing serves industries that require both functional and decorative finishes, offering a versatile solution for enhancing metal surfaces.
2018 was a big year for manufacturing (you might even say it was "yuge"). As early as January, manufacturing firms were scrambling to sort through the newly-passed tax reform, and shortly thereafter the USTR announced its first tariffs on solar panels and washing machines (remember when it was just solar panels and washing machines?) Manufacturing in the U.S. continued to expand at a hectic pace, with new orders, production, and employment posting robust gains.
Raw material costs began to skyrocket as tariff action between China and the U.S. intensified and the threat of a trade war loomed. The trade gap widened and imports surged as companies rushed to procure supplies from China in advance of the 25% tariffs set to go into effect January 1st, 2019 (these were since delayed until Marc...(Full Article)
Understanding the industrial anodizing sector can help provide insight into the metal finishing industry as a whole. Read on to learn more about its growth and other trends in this market.
The industrial anodizing sector includes anodization of several metal types. This is a key segment of the metal finishing industry. To provide perspective, metal finishing as a whole employs 93,022 people and has average annual current sales of nearly $37 billion. Industrial anodizing makes up 4,007 of these jobs and nearly $585 million of the average sales.
Applications for industrial anodizing can include:
-Machinery
-Hi-tech electronics
-Automotive equipment
-Semiconductor parts
-Aerospace
-Anodized finishes for architectural structures, jewelry, artwork, sporting goods, food preparation...(Full Article)
Anodizing is a growing segment of the metal finishing industry. According to data collected by IndustryNet, the number of jobs has risen 0.48 percent in the last year. Sales have increased by 0.82 percent.
The anodizing process deposits a layer of oxide on the surface of a metal. Processed parts form the anode in an electrical circuit, giving the treatment its name. The technique is performed in a tank in which the chemical composition and temperature are strictly controlled. Many companies employ either an on-site chemist or an outside lab to maintain optimal conditions.
There are eight types of anodizing, as outlined in military specification MIL-A-8625. Three forms commonly seen are hard anodizing, dyed and nondyed. While this technology is most commonly applied to aluminum, it ca...(Full Article)
