Anodizing

Anodizing is a process that deposits an antioxidant layer on a metal surface. This oxidation process occurs naturally in some metals, such as aluminum and stainless steel, but natural oxidation takes years and is often hampered by various factors.

Purpose

For proper anodizing, the protective film on the metal must be dense and non-porous. 

Only in this way will the layer be able to regenerate in the event of a loss of equilibrium.

Another key factor is thickness: thicker layers offer better protection against destruction. Artificial anodizing ensures excellent corrosion resistance.

Before anodizing, thorough cleaning is essential. Bama precedes anodizing with degreasing, pickling, and passivation phases. These steps are crucial for achieving precise results, as any residual grease or burrs can hinder the anodizing process.

Titanium

The actual anodizing process involves immersing the positively charged object in an electrolyte tank. The electric current passing through the liquid deposits a compact and protective oxide layer on the surface.

The primary benefit of anodizing is enhanced corrosion resistance. However, it also allows for decorative and aesthetic finishes. Anodizing can produce uniform surfaces and add specific colors, ranging from blue (for titanium) to yellow and red.

Deoxidizer

A deoxidizer is a substance that performs a special deep-cleaning action, specifically targeting oxide residues.
