Anodizing is an electrochemical conversion process that forms an oxide film, usually on aluminum, in an electrolyte (chemical solution). The aluminum parts are the anode (thus the term “anodizing”) and current is passed between them and a cathode, usually flat aluminum bars, through the above mentioned electrolyte (sulfuric acid is most commonly used).
The anodize is a porous structure that grows out of the base aluminum and absorbs colored dye very well. This is done through a secondary operation with either an organic or inorganic coloring. Anoplate processes black, blue, red, gold, as well as small lots of green and gray using standard organic dyes.
