description

 

Clear anodized aluminum preserves the natural aluminum appearance while adding the corrosion resistance, surface hardness, and durability that bare aluminum lacks. Unlike black or colored anodizing where the dye can fade over time, clear anodizing does not change color - it stays bright and clean through years of service even in harsh environments. The clear anodized layer is thin, typically 5 to 25 micrometers, but enough to protect against corrosion in most indoor and outdoor environments. For marine or coastal installations, the anodized surface holds up to salt air that would quickly dull bare aluminum. In food processing equipment, clear anodizing is easy to clean. 6063-T5 is the most common choice for architectural and general applications. The anodizing process does not mask surface imperfections - any scratches or machining marks show through.

Starting Surface Matters

 

Clear anodizing is transparent - it does not hide anything. A scratch on the bare aluminum will still be visible after anodizing. For architectural applications where appearance matters, the starting surface must be carefully controlled: no scratches, consistent texture, clean before anodizing.

FAQ

 

Q1: MOQ?

A1: 10 pieces.

Q2: Coating thickness?

A2: 5 μm to 25 μm depending on environment and durability requirements.

Q3: Materials available?

A3: 6063-T5, 6061-T6, 7075-T6 aluminum alloys.

Q4: Color change?

A4: None. Clear anodizing maintains the natural aluminum appearance indefinitely.

A5: Excellent. No fading or yellowing in outdoor UV exposure.

Q6: Suitable environments?

A6: Architectural, food processing, marine, outdoor industrial.

 

Quality is non-negotiable in precision manufacturing. Every component undergoes rigorous inspection at each stage of production.

  • ISO 9001:2015 - Certified quality management system covering design, machining, and inspection
  • Passivation / Electropolishing - ASTM A967 procedures for corrosion resistance
  • Material Traceability - Heat number tracking from raw material to finished part
  • MIL-A-8625 - Military-specification anodizing for aluminum components
  • Coating Thickness Testing - Coating weight and thickness verification per MIL spec
  • Salt Spray Testing - 1000-hour ASTM B117 corrosion resistance verification available
  • First Article Inspection (FAI) - Full dimensional report included with every new order

 

From raw material to finished product, every step is controlled and documented:

  • Material Preparation - CNC turning/milling to near-net shape
  • Heat Treatment - Through-hardening or case-hardening for strength-critical parts
  • Surface Preparation - Degreasing, acid cleaning, and surface activation
  • Electroplating - Controlled bath process with thickness monitoring
  • Sealing / Baking - Chrome sealing, anodize sealing, or hydrogen embrittlement relief baking
  • Inspection - Coating thickness measurement, adhesion testing, and visual check
  • Packaging - Protective interleaving, VCI packaging, and anti-tarnish wrapping
