Type HI anodized aluminum is specifically designed for high-wear applications, such as pistons, transmission parts, and frying pans. Often referred to as "hard coat," Type III is described in the military specification MIL 8625 as a nominal coating thickness of 0.002 In. with specific wear prop...
Anodize (also spelled anodizing, particularly in the UK and Australia) is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. Aluminum alloys are anodized to increase corrosion resistance and to allow dyeing (coloring), improve...

A.Luke Engineering specializes in hardcoating and anodizing of aluminum. We have been very pleased with the Positectors. They performed the best in our R&R testings at a third of the cost of the more expensive eddy current units. Each of our operators has one to check every load for coati...
The main materials used with Anodizing include: chromic acid, sulfuric acid, and hard anodize plating. The process of anodization based on Chromic acid is also known as Type I anodization. This is also the oldest anodizing process to use chromic acid. Chromic acid produces thin, 0.5 μm to ...
Anodized aluminum is a bit of the new kid on the block. Aluminum is processed with electrical charges and an acid bath, causing the surface of the pot or pan to oxidize, oranodize,becoming much harder and more durable, as well as not leaching into foods. ...
and when they try to process the casting alloys thru the same deoxidizer they leave alloying ingredients on the surface; then since we can only anodize aluminum, the presence of the silicon, copper, etc, interferes with the cosmetic appearance and the protection of the chromate or anodize oxide...
