Hard Anodising

Hard anodising is a branch of sulphuric acid anodising where process conditions have been pushed in a certain direction to achieve significantly harder, thicker, denser films.

Due to the multiplicity of variables influencing coating performance, it is challenging to convey in writing the possibilities and constraints of the process.

However, applications involve resistance to wear, corrosion, temperature effects etc.
