Alternative to Anodizing??

Posted by admin on April 2nd, 2010 at 12:00am

We have recently been getting very inconsistent results when we send our parts to be black anodised, a high proportion of our parts have to be rejected due to them not being of a high enough standard. We require a very high quality gloss finish but the faults include dullness and uneven coats. The parts vary from simple flat panels to quite intricate parts.

I was wondering could anyone recommend an alternative? We would be open to any variation as long as it provided a good surface finish and was more reliable, the time lost in returning parts is the biggest issue for us.

We use AL 5083 and AL 6082 material for our parts.

Thanks :)
