The thickness of this process is 0.00002-0.00007

Type 1 anodizing creates a thin, porous oxide layer on the surface of aluminum. While this layer is not as thick or durable as other types of anodizing, it still provides a basic level of corrosion resistance. It is often used in applications where corrosion protection is needed but where other properties such as wear resistance or aesthetics are not critical.

Overall, the primary purpose of Type 1 anodizing is to provide a basic level of corrosion resistance and electrical insulation to aluminum parts, making it suitable for a range of industrial and commercial applications where these properties are required. Great for aerospace.

Chromic acid anodizing is a gray color ( Not the best appearance when dyed, Black will be a dark gray)

The thickness of Type 2 Class 1 (clear) is 0.0003 - 0.0006, half build up half penetration.

The thickness of Class 2 (colors) between 0.0006 - 0.0008. thick. half build up half penetration

Used to enhance the aesthetic appearance. The process can produce a range of colors, including black, clear, blue, purple, orange, red, gold, olive drab, gunmetal and pink. This makes it popular for decorative goals.

While Type 2 anodizing doesn't provide as much hardness as harder anodizing types (such as Type 3) it still improves the durability.

Anodized coatings also offer electrical insulation properties, making them useful for electrical applications where non-conductive surfaces are required.

MIL-A-8625 Type III, Class 1 & 2 MIL-PRF - 8625

The thickness of this anodize process is normally between 0.0015 - 0.002 thickness half build up half penetration (can aim for thinner + thicker coatings if requested)

Type 3 hard anodizing creates a much thicker and harder surface compared to other types of anodizing. This increased hardness provides excellent wear resistance making it ideal for applications where parts will experience friction, abrasion, or wear over time.

Overall, Type 3 hard anodizing is particularly suited for applications where extreme wear resistance, durability, and dimensional stability are critical requirements, such as in aerospace, automotive, military, and industrial applications.

Chemfilm, also known as chromate conversion coating or bondrite (a popular brand name), is a chemical treatment applied to aluminum and other metals to enhance their corrosion resistance and improve paint adhesion. It involves the formation of a thin, protective layer on the metal surface through a chemical reaction between the metal and the coating solution.

Chemfilm enhances the adhesion of paints, primers, and other coatings to the aluminum surface. The chemically treated surface provides better bonding for subsequent paint layers, improving the overall durability and longevity of the painted finish.

The purpose of hard anodic coating with PTFE is to improve the performance, durability, and longevity of aluminum components, particularly in environments where wear, corrosion, and friction are significant concerns.

Passivation creates a protective layer on the surface of metals, particularly stainless steel, which improves their resistance to corrosion. The layer acts as a barrier, preventing the underlying metal from coming into contact with corrosive substances in the environment, such as water, oxygen, or chemicals.

Passivation can also improve the appearance of metal surfaces by removing stains, discoloration, or other surface imperfections caused by contaminants. This helps to restore the original finish of the metal and enhances its visual appeal.

• Good finish for fire-arms and lots more.

Selective anodizing (call for more detail.)

AMC 200

Teflon is well-known for its low coefficient of friction, which means it reduces the resistance encountered when moving one surface against another. By applying a black Teflon coating over the anodized surface, it reduces friction, making the part smoother to operate and less prone to wear and abrasion.

The black color of Teflon coating can provide an attractive and uniform appearance to the anodized part. This can be particularly desirable in consumer products or applications where aesthetics play a role.

• Great for fire-arms.
