Anodizing entails the immersion of an aluminum part in an electrolyte where an electric current is passed through the part. The surface is converted to aluminum oxide - one of the hardest substances known. Proper formation of aluminum oxide coatings provides aluminum with a natural decorative appearance and increased resistance to corrosion and abrasion. In addition, it serves as a base for color absorption to create decorative finishes.
