Or, maybe you want to add anodization, because you are a good engineer and know it increases the life expectancy of the part, but this happens to be prototype only and is only going to be used for the next 6 months in the lab, not exposed to environmental elements. You might make a...
Anodization is a process done to the aluminum surface of most pans and other cookware so that the surface is less likely to corrode and react to the food cooked on it. Because of the process, the surface also becomes more durable and therefore lasts longer. The biggest benefit is that its...
But it is not impossible to electroplate aluminum; rather it is a specialized process which must be done out of molten salts or special organic solvents. It may also be possible to electroplate aluminum via the rapidly developing field of ionic liquids, although as of this writing ionic liquids...
I don’t care for the idea, but I haven’t seen any scientific research suggesting that anodized aluminum cookware specifically is harmful. Anodization subjects the surface of aluminum pots and pans to a process that builds up the metal’s natural coating of oxide. This should yield a hard,...
The Jet Black color is obtained through several steps. First, there is an anodization, which creates a face of porous aluminum oxide. Second, the cover is “wiped” with a machine using a powdered compound that is absorbed by the aluminum oxide. Third, the finishing process consist of an ...
