Plating Processes : Anodizing

Anodize characteristics:

• An electrochemical conversion process in which a metal is converted to a form of its oxide
• A part is made anode, as opposed to the conventional electroplating process of a part being cathode
• Extremely hard coating with defined pore structure
• Can be custom-colored
• Can be “sealed” to improve color fastness and improve corrosion protection
• Oxide is “grown” rather than being deposited, so adhesion is never a problem
• Has a dielectric, insulating surface

CSL capabilities in anodizing:

• We offer both “hard” (Type III) and conventional (Type II) coating
• Meets MIL-A-8625F specification
• Choice of red, gold, black, blue, and violet colors
• Nickel acetate, dichromate, and hot D.I. water seals available
• Superior hardness, density, and sealing properties using proprietary chemistry
• Teflon impregnation to provide lubricity

Applications for anodizing:

• Dielectric film
• Widely used in numerous industries
