Upload a PartAnodizing
Our anodizing processes are typically applied to machined aluminum parts to reduce corrosion and add an appealing metallic coloring to the porous aluminum substrate. Anodizing helps parts resist scratching, is a natural electrical insulator, and is one of the most durable finishes available. We offer three specific types of quick-turn anodizing options to protect your parts:
|
Type II
|
Type III (hard coat)
|
Chromate Plating
Chromate conversion coating protects your parts from corrosion by chemically changing the properties of the metal. It also offers electrical connectivity and the ability to paint the part. Our chromate plating is Type II, non-hexavalent (clear).

High-requirement Finishing
Have AS9100 and ITAR requirements? Try our domestic precision machining option. If you have more complex anodizing and plating requirements, work with our digital network of manufacturers. The network works well for components that require a specialized color or material option such as titanium or nickel.
