Eloxal

Before the actual anodization can take place, the workpieces are contacted on titanium frames. They are then degreased in a weakly alkaline cleaning bath. Depending on the customer’s specifications, further chemical pretreatments such as matt pickling or chemical polishing may be carried out. The electrolytic oxidation of the aluminum takes place in a sulfuric acid solution (electrolyte) under the influence of direct current; the workpiece is anodically connected (> anodizing). The aluminum is artificially oxidized to Al2O3. Since we transform the base material and do not coat it (as in chrome plating), the properties of the alloy used are incorporated into the end result. We individually parameterize the anodizing parameters for each alloy. We refine high-performance materials using special processes. This enables us to provide these with a decorative oxide layer of excellent quality. Since anodic layers are microporous, color pigments can be incorporated as per customer request. During the final compression, the dye is sealed in and the material achieves the maximum possible corrosion protection.
