In addition to the scope of anodising already available at RSC we are pleased to introduce two new processes

As well as the introduction of our new Hard Anodise processing we are pleased to offer Titanium Anodising as a finishing option.

What is Titanium Anodising?

Anodising titanium is a process that adjusts the oxide level of metals surfaces. This adjustment changes the spectrum of light resulting in perceived color. By precisely controlling the surface oxide level, an entire range of colors can be produced.

The process provides the advantages of hardening and coloring the surface of titanium components without altering the mechanical properties of the metal. Imparting lasting colour to a components surface allows the easy identification of devices and parts.

Titanium is an extremely hard and durable metal used in a variety of applications. Anodising Titanium is a specialised capability which is not standard throughout the metal finishing industry. It is however essential to engineers and manufacturers who are relying more and more on the strength and applicability of titanium product in todays hi-tech markets.

What is Hard Anodising?

Hard Anodising is very similar to sulphuric anodising but produces a thicker oxide layer and therefore increased corrosion resistance and increased wear resistance compared to standard sulphuric anodizing. Hard Anodising is sometimes compared to a hard coat or Type 3 Anodising in North America.

  • Excellent corrosion resistance
  • Improved hardness and wear resistance
  • Scratch resistant
  • Cost effective
  • 20-110µm Coating Thickness
