Validated Aluminum Anodizing - Available in Colors
VALIDATED Aluminum Anodizing |

The Vowin provides the safest non-burning aluminum anodizing process for hard coating aluminum. Our aluminum anodizing produces superior wear and abrasion resistance, compared to conventional hardcoat, and it is available in several different colors. Unlike plating, which is 100% buildup, ECO's aluminum anodizing is 50% penetration and 50% buildup. |

Features Hardness / Wearability Our hard anodizing process is the hardest anodic coating available, with greater abrasion resistance than conventional anodizing. Thicknesses range from .0001 - .003” (.00254 - .0762 mm) on many alloys, and meet abrasion resistance requirements of MIL-A-8625F Type III. Colors You can color-code parts to simplify assembly procedures and to reduce assembly and installation errors, or to enhance the appearance of trim and decorative hardware. |

Aluminum Alloys for Anodizing Anodizing is recommended for virtually all aluminum alloys. Difficulties can arise if an order of components is manufactured from different alloys, and this is not made known to the anodizer. Each aluminum alloy has a different rate of penetration and buildup. If different alloys are processed together, different thicknesses of oxide are formed on the different alloys. This can result in "out of tolerance" components. |
