Anodizing - Type II

Clear Anodizing
Anodizing Online Clear Anodize process is ideal for providing decorative qualities to parts. Proper formation of aluminum oxide coatings provides aluminum with a natural decorative appearance and increased resistance to corrosion and abrasion.

Dyed Anodizing
Anodizing Online Dyed Anodize process provides a rich, vibrant, permanent color finish. Aluminum can be anodized and dyed to match a given decor or to assimilate a particular metal.

Anodizing - Type III Hardcoat

Anodizing Online offers aluminum hardcoat anodizing (Type III) for dyed and non-dyed parts at our state-of-the-art facility in Houston, Texas. Hardcoat aluminum anodizing provides a surface that is more wear resistant and has a smoother and harder finish than standard anodizing. Please note that not all colors are well suited for use with a Type III anodic layer due to the smaller coating pore size and darker color (typically gray-black or gray-bronze).

The typical thickness produced by engineered anodizing MIL-A-8625 (Type III) is 0.0005”- 0.002”, but the coating thickness can be controlled with exceptional accuracy. The coating created by Type III anodizing penetrates 50% of the surface, with the remaining 50% of the coating building up on the surface. Since hard anodizing alters surface thickness, it’s important to note that the process will affect the final dimensions of parts with tight tolerances.

After an aluminum part has been hardcoat anodized, there is an option to have it sealed. If the main function of the application is to obtain the maximum degree of abrasion or wear resistance, the coating should not be sealed. If the main function of the application is for corrosion resistance, and reduced abrasion resistance is not an issue, sealing is advised.

Manganese Phosphating

Manganese Phosphate is a treatment that utilizes manganese salt, phosphoric acid and an accelerator, all of which are applied at very high temperatures. This conversion coating process involves the dissolution of the base metal, and subsequently forms part of the actual coating — offering excellent wear resistance.

Houston Anodizing’s Manganese Phosphate process is widely used in applications with part to part contact, like gears, and in applications utilizing extreme torque values or requiring multiple rundowns, like bolts. This is due to the Manganese natural crystal structure that is very durable and will not fracture. Due to this structure, Manganese Phosphate is an ideal coating for break in processes as well.
