2. 4 THINGS THAT IMPACTS THE QUALITY OF ANODIZING

3. HTTP://INDACOCOATS.COM/ • Anodizing is an electrochemical process, where the metal surface is coated with the oxide of the metal. in the process of anodizing the metal is dipped in a tank filled with electrolyte solution and electric current is passed through the solution. The metal in the tank act as anode. A cathode is placed in the solution. • The electric current causes the metal to form oxide on the surface. Aluminium is the majorly used metal for anodizing, there are other metals too that can be anodized like magnesium, titanium, zinc etc • While anodizing there are some factors that must be taken care of, which are as follows

4. SOURCE MATERIAL THIS IS THE MOST IMPACTING FACTOR ON ANODIZING. DIFFERENT ALUMINIUM ALLOY HAVE DIFFERENT COMPOUNDS AND ALL COMPOUNDS WORKS DIFFERENTLY IN ANODIZING. SOME COMPOUNDS WORK EXCEPTIONALLY WELL AND SOME TOO BAD. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE MATERIAL TO BE ANODIZED. SIMILARLY, ANODIZING DIFFERS WITH DIFFERENT METAL. THE BEST METAL FOR ANODIZING IS ALUMINIUM. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER METAL THAT CAN BE ANODIZED IS MAGNESIUM, TITANIUM, ZINC, ETC.

5. Surface preparation •Surface preparation is very important, before putting the metal in the electrolyte solution. The surface of the metal must be clean and clear. Several times there are packing stuffs, tape, paints etc. are stuck on the surface of the metal, those thing should be cleared before bathing them with electrolyte solution.

6. CHEMISTRY CONTROL ANODIZING IS A COMPLEX CHEMICAL PROCESS, HAVING BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF THE REACTION AND TAKING ALL THE REQUIRED MEASURES IS COMPULSORY FOR DESIRED FINISHING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS STEPS IN THE PROCESS LIKE, CLEANING, PRE-TREATMENT (ETCH), ANODIZING, SHADING (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CLEAR), SEALING, AND OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE VARIOUS RINSES IN THE MIDDLE OF EACH OF THESE STEPS

7. •The controls that must be kept up in each of the means are: PH, concentration, temperature, and also time. Chemical suppliers do prescribe a scope of parameters for every substance except it is critical for each anodizer to do their own particular research and testing to locate an ideal range. This should be possible with the help of chemical management software and additionally counseling with the chemical provider provider.

8. Anodizing tank control •In the anodizing tanks there are two main things that carry out anodizing. they are, electrolytic solution and electric current. Controlling the tank means, controlling these two things. •There is different electrolytic solution for different metal and similarly, different voltage of current for different metal. Before handling out anodization expert level knowledge is important.

9. •Anodizing the best doe in Indaco metal Coats. Indaco coats provides best solution in aluminium and titanium anodizing electropolishing and surface finishing. It is based in Belgaum, Karnataka and is one of the leading anodising in India
