Anodizing Details:
Hard Coat anodizing results in smaller pores, which provide a harder coating than standard anodizing.
-
Hardness of the hard coat anodizing can reach 83 Rockwell, but not increase the hardness of the base metal. As a result, the anodized part will be protected from surface damage through abrasion, but will not necessarily be protected from localized impact or heavy load.
-
Thickness of hard coat anodizing is typically .001" to .002", but can be achieved up to .004" or greater under certain circumstances. Anodized coatings greater than .002" may grow rough and require honing to achieve a lower micro inch finish.
-
Hard coat anodizing cannot be dyed because of small pore size.
- The alloy of the part will determine the colour ranging from olive to black colour.
