Since then, finishing technology has provided a steady
stream of protection and coloring improvements. The first and
most important of these was the development of the anodizing
process, which converts the aluminum surface into an extremely
hard, durable, corrosion resistant, long-lasting aluminum
oxide finish.
The aluminum anodizing process today includes specialized
lines, including batch, continuous coil, continuous parts and
even basket anodizing for small parts. This specialized
processing technology has allowed the industry to remain
competitive and at the same time give excellent quality.
Recent breakthroughs in coloring techniques, gives a range of
colors rivaling paint, but with the technical advantages and
beauty of anodizing.
