Benefits and Applications of Aluminum Anodizing
The process of aluminum anodizing adds a layer of oxidation to aluminum extrusion products. Unlike iron or carbon steel where oxidation creates a layer of corrosion or rust, the anodizing process actually enhances the properties of aluminum. The hard, oxidized layer becomes a part of the aluminum, creating numerous beneficial properties.

What is Aluminum Anodizing?
Aluminum anodizing is an electro-chemical process that creates a protective layer on the aluminum surface of a product to offer extended resistance to corrosion, as well as aesthetic enhancement. This technology has been in existence for over 100 years, but has only been applied in mass production for the past 60 years.
