Aluminium Anodising

Unlike iron or steel, aluminium isn’t susceptible to rust. Instead, it oxidises, forming a thin layer of aluminium oxide on its surface when it comes into contact with oxygen.

This dense layer of corrosion actually helps to protect the metal beneath. Hard anodising works by thickening the oxide layer, offering increased corrosion protection, and preserving the quality of the metal beneath.

Aluminium anodising involves passing an electric current through the aluminium before lowering it into an acid bath, where it becomes the anode in the electrical circuit. The electric current causes oxygen to be released at the anode, which reacts with the aluminium to form an oxide layer. The thickness of the layer is determined by the time the aluminium spends in the tank.

Our service is used by any number of businesses, whenever there is a need for aluminium to be extra hard-wearing and corrosion resistant. Some of the industries we have supplied aluminium anodising to include:

We cater to a wide range of colour anodising requirements, delivering aluminium in a variety of attractive shades, including gold, silver, and stainless steel effect.

We can source pre-anodised aluminium for our clients, or arrange for material to be anodised per specification by one of our specialist anodising supply partners.

With years of experience and a vast network of partners, we can create the perfect solution for you, catering to design, functionality, cost, and supply logistics.

Rather than spending time and money on identifying and contacting reputable and available anodisers, let Edmo do the work. We’ll deliver all your extrusion and anodising needs in one.
