This natural oxide is very thin and easily removed by handling. Anodizing is a process which thickens the natural oxide film. When a metal is anodized, direct electrical current is passed through a bath of sulfuric acid. This produces a clear film of oxide on the metal's surface. During the anodizing process, several controls are critical to assure the specified film thickness, abrasion resistance and density.</p> <p class="JNLC-copy"><a href="/pages/other-techniques"><img src='http://static1.shopify.com/s/files/1/0014/5692/files/Back1.png' alt='' /></a></p> </div> 2008-10-10T20:40:41-04:00 anodizing 498162 2008-10-10T20:40:41-04:00 145692 2008-11-04T11:58:41-05:00 <notextile> <div class="jnlc-container" id="jnlc-container"> <img src="http://static3.shopify.com/s/files/1/0014/5692/files/Anodizing.jpg" width="360" height="200" class="floatLeft" /> <p class="JNLC-title">anodizing</p> <p class="JNLC-copy">When certain metals combines with oxygen it forms a protective surface film, which inhibits further oxidation of the metal.
