Aluminium alloys are anodized to increase resistance to oxidization and surface abrasion as well as giving an enhanced choice of long life colouring. The anodic layer is non-conductive.
In its natural form when exposed to oxygen Aluminium begins oxidization, to prevent this a controlled process is used to treat the Aluminium where a protective oxide layer is applied by an electrolytic process in which the Aluminium forms the anode. Aluminium alloy parts are anodized to greatly increase the thickness of this layer for corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of aluminium alloys is significantly decreased by certain alloying elements or impurities: copper, iron, and silicon.
