IndustryNet is the Industrial Marketplace for Hard Coat Anodizing
Hard coat anodizing, also known as Type III anodizing, is an electrochemical process that enhances the surface properties of aluminum and its alloys. This process involves immersing the aluminum part in an acid electrolyte bath and passing an electric current through the medium. The result is a thick, hard oxide layer that forms on the surface of the aluminum, providing increased wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation. The hard coat anodizing process typically uses sulfuric acid as the electrolyte, and the process parameters, such as temperature and current density, are carefully controlled to achieve the desired thickness and hardness of the oxide layer. The thickness of the anodic coating can range from 25 to 150 microns, depending on the application requirements. The process can also incorporate dyes to add color to the anodized layer, although this is less common in hard coat anodizing due to the focus on functional properties. Hard coat anodizing finds applications in industries where durability and performance are critical. It is widely used in the aerospace industry for components that require high strength-to-weight ratios and resistance to environmental factors. The automotive industry uses hard coat anodizing for parts that need to withstand harsh conditions and mechanical wear. In the military sector, the process is applied to equipment and weaponry to enhance durability and longevity. Additionally, the electronics industry benefits from the electrical insulation properties of hard coat anodized components. The process serves industries that demand high-performance materials capable of withstanding extreme conditions, making it a vital part of manufacturing for applications that require enhanced surface properties.
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)
Whether to inhibit corrosion, improve appearance or smooth sharp edges, metal finishing is essential to many industries. According to data gathered by IndustryNet, 4,093 metal finishing companies with current sales of $36,890,189,770 provide 93,022 jobs.
Metal finishers vary in both specializations and capabilities. Understanding the types of metal finishing is vital to choosing the right vendor. This article is intended to help customers find the best and most economical solutions to their finishing needs.
Coatings
There are many types of coatings and a wide array of methods to apply them. Even a coating as familiar to a consumer as paint can have a multitude of varieties. Paints can be solvent-based, water-based, or entirely composed of film-forming components.
Each type of...(Full Article)
