Anodized Coatings: What is anodizing? An electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum parts. Aluminum alloys are anodized to increase corrosion resistance, to increase surface hardness, and to allow dyeing (coloring), improved lubrication, or improved adhesion. Most aluminum aircraft parts, architectural materials and consumer products are anodized. Anodized aluminum can be found on mp3 players, flashlights, cookware, cameras, sporting goods, and on many other products for corrosion resistance, wear resistance and coloring
