United Metal Finishing offers Clear and Dyed Finishes for Aluminum Alloys per MIL-A-8625
Anodizing is an electrochemical oxidation of aluminum and its alloys to produce corrosion resistant and visually appealing surfaces. Anodizing process provides excellent corrosion resistance and increases abrasion resistance. The process produces porous oxide layers which can be dyed in various colors.
This process is called “anodizing” because the part is the anode and not the cathode as in other plating processes!!
The anodizing layer has microscopic porosity. Attractive coloring dyes can be impregnated in the pores for higher visual appeal.
Our process adheres to MIL-A-8625 for both Type II (Standard) and Type III (Hard coat Anodizing). Color offerings include Clear, Black, Blue, Purple, Red, Green, and Gold. Alternate or custom colors are available.
Test panels are submitted monthly to an independent laboratory for salt spray testing and chemical mass/weight testing per MIL-A-8625. Test reports are available upon request.
In-house measuring tools such as digital film thickness probes and micrometers are used to measure coating thicknesses when applicable.
