This coating is accomplished through means of electrochemical conversion. It uses an acid to both assists in the conduction of electricity and to control the properties of the protective. The process of conversion coating is accomplished by creating a chemical reaction between the metal and a solution.
Type I is known as Chromic Acid Anodizing. It offers an exceptional thin corrosion resistant coating that ranges in thickness from 0.00005" to 0.0002". This process is less corrosive than Type II and therefore making it safer to use on critical components where acid could perhaps become lodged in a seam or weld that could then compromise the integrity of the finished product.
Type II, Sulfuric gold anodizing type ii Acid Anodizing, is the most common method for anodizing. It provides a thicker coating from 0.0002" to 0.0012". The overall thickness is 67% penetration and 33% growth over original dimensions and making it very suitable for color dyes. Because of its easier waste treatment, lower energy consumption and time to obtain thickness Type II reduces the end product cost.
This can be hardcoat anodizing considered the workhorse of the three types of the anodizing processes. Type III (Hardcoat Anodizing) is specifically designed to treat aluminum components that are subject to heavy-duty wear and tear. With that, the material needs a thicker, denser and more resilient coat to protect from more damaging and corrosive environments.
The process of conversion coating is accomplished by creating a chemical reaction between the metal and a solution. The uses range from corrosion protection and improved adhesion to paint primers and decorative coloring. Your choice of which coating to use will be determined by the base metal/alloy and application of the finished product.
