Many non-ferrous metal materials can be anodized, but aluminum is the best candidate and creates the most successful finish. At this time, we offer three different aluminum alloys for Type II and Type III sulfuric anodizing:
- 5052 Aluminum: .063-.500″ (1.6 – 12.7mm)
- 6061 Aluminum: .063-.500″ (1.6 – 12.7mm)
- 7075 Aluminum: .125-.250″ (3.18 – 6.35mm)
We do not offer anodizing for 0.040″ aluminum since the material is too fragile for processing and cannot withstand the deburring required to smooth parts prior to finishing.
