Color Anodizing: Bringing Hue the Good Looking Products You See Every Day
There's a good chance that you're holding an ipod. No? Well there's a good chance that there's a similar appliance within 10 feet of you. Either way, it can be said with a certain level of certainty that most of these appliances, with their sleek aluminum casing, have come into contact with the process known as "aluminum color anodizing". However, aluminum color anodizing extends far beyond consumer electronics such as mp3 players and other gadgets. Chances, are you come into contact with color anodized products every day. So, what is it?
Anodizing is a process typically used to increase the thickness of the natural "oxide" layer of metal parts. So why is it called anodizing, and not oxidizing? Because the part that's being treated forms the "anode" electrode of an electrical circuit. An anodized layer is formed by passing a current through an electrolyte solution, with the aluminum piece acting as the anode (Remember: an anode is the electrode that electric current runs through, into an electrical device.) That current releases hydrogen and oxygen at the surface of the aluminum, creating aluminum oxide build up. To create thicker coatings, higher voltages are used.
Usually, the anodization takes place in an acid bath, which gradually eats away the oxidized layer. This creates small nanopores, that give the aluminum surface the porousness necessary to accommodate the dying that allows for color anodizing as well as additional sealing for extra durability and protection.
Anodizing can not be done with materials such as carbon steel or iron, because those metals exfoliate when they are oxidized. For example, your face is constantly oxidizing, and because of that -- it exfoliates. As this happens, more and more base layers of your skin wash away (exfoliate) when you wash your face. Instead of forming a covering, the base layers are continually exposed -- eliminating the opportunity for aluminum anodizing or aluminum color anodizing all together.
So there you have it. That's how so many of the metal appliances and products you find get their shine, their luster, and -- usually -- their color.
