Anodization of composite aluminum alloys (Compoxide)


The client has more than 60 years of experience in anodizing aluminum and its alloys. The variety of possible shades and finishes, flexibility in offering special applications and fast machining times are the main distinguishing features of the business.

The challenge of Compoxide is the application of the available processes, to composite aluminum alloys to verify the behavior of such alloys in standard processes.

To this end, surface and aesthetic appearance, corrosion protection and mechanical properties of the applied surface treatment were evaluated in comparison to the standard ones.
