The concept of electrolysis is fundamental to the process of aluminium anodisation. Aluminium anodisation involves passing an electric current through the aluminium before lowering it into an acidic electrolyte bath, where it becomes the anode in the electrical circuit. The passing electrical current causes oxygen ions to be released at the anode, resulting in a reaction between the oxygen and aluminium to form a protective oxide layer.
The thickness of the anodisation layer is determined by the time the aluminium spends in the electrolyte tank. As
experts in aluminium anodising, we can tailor the duration and resultant thickness of the anodisation layer to suit the specific functional and applicational requirements of your aluminium components.
Aluminium anodising additionally offers significant flexibility towards the final finishing colour. Depending on your requirements, the anodisation colouring processes may be altered to ensure the optimal finish and shade of the anodic coating is applied to your aluminium components. We are equipped to provide a diverse range of anodising finishes to suit your exact needs.
