Two hundred years after aluminium’s discovery, the metal has become one of the most used materials in the world. Aluminium’s resistance to corrosion and abundance make it a material of choice for many industries ranging from construction to cutlery. Already useful in its base state, it is possible to make it even better by having it undergo the anodising process. The Process The anodising process can actually be used on metals other than aluminium; magnesium, titanium, zinc, and zirconium are just some examples of metals that can benefit from the process. What the process does is to add to the thickness of the metal’s outer layer. The thicker layer increases the metal’s resistance to corrosion and natural wear-and-tear, while providing paints and glues a better surface to adhere to. The process can be complicated and properly anodising aluminium requires the services of professional companies like Badger Anodising (Birmingham) Ltd.
