Anodizing Options for CNC Machined Aluminum Parts

Anodizing is one of the most common finishing options, offering strong corrosion protection and enhancing the overall appearance of metal parts. Three types of aluminum anodizing are available from Protolabs:

Type I-Chromic Acid: Provides a whisper-thin but still durable coating. Commonly used for welded parts and assemblies and as a primer before painting. Like all anodized surfaces, it is non-conductive.

Type II-Sulfuric Acid: Harder than Type I it offers an exceedingly durable finish. Usage examples include carabiner hooks, flashlight handles, motorcycle parts, and hydraulic valve bodies.

Type III-Hard Anodize or Hardcoat: This is the thickest and hardest anodize available and has a wide range of applications for parts and products in automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment, marine industry, general manufacturing, and military/law enforcement.

Turning Features:

Turning is a method of cutting a workpiece on a lathe using the rotation of the workpiece relative to the tool. Turning is the most basic and common cutting method. Most workpieces with revolving surfaces can be processed by turning methods, such as inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, inner and outer conical surfaces, end faces, grooves, threads, and rotary forming surfaces. Common lathes can be divided into horizontal lathes, floor lathes, vertical lathes, turret lathes, and profiling lathes, most of which are horizontal lathes.

Turning has higher efficiency than grinding, turning often adopts a large cutting depth and high workpiece speed, and its metal resection rate is usually several times that of grinding processing. During vehicle machining, one loading clamp can complete a variety of surface machining, while the grinding requires multiple installations, so the auxiliary time is short and the position accuracy between the machining surfaces is high.
