Anodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a surface finish on aluminum; however, other metals such as magnesium and titanium may be anodized as well. The part to be anodized is placed on an electrically conductive rack and placed into a conductive solution or electrolyte, most commonly a sulfuric acid solution. Applying an electrical current which is carried through the rack to the part causing the formation of a surface oxide that is both porous and very dense, providing a smooth and protective finish to the part. Anodizing may be run using different electrolytes, at different voltages including pulsed voltages, and at different electrical currents.

The durable finish coupled with the inherent strength provided by anodizing supplies the basis for a vast array of products in virtually every industry. No matter what industry you are involved in, you probably use aluminum. If you do use aluminum - it is probably anodized. Major industries that utilize anodizing products are architectural and construction, electronics and computers, cookware, and sporting goods.
