Anodizing and oxidation are advanced surface treatment processes widely used to improve corrosion resistance, surface hardness, electrical insulation, and long-term durability of precision metal components. These processes are especially critical for titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, and specialty metals used in aerospace, medical, electronics, and high-performance industrial applications.
At EadeTech, anodizing and oxidation are fully integrated with our CNC machining workflow, ensuring dimensional stability, surface consistency, and reliable functional performance for tight-tolerance parts.
Anodizing is an electrochemical surface treatment that converts the metal surface into a dense, controlled oxide layer. Unlike coatings or plating, the anodic layer becomes an integral part of the base material and will not peel or flake.
| Material | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| Aluminum alloys | Aerospace housings, brackets, enclosures |
| Titanium alloys | Medical implants, aerospace fasteners |
| Magnesium alloys | Lightweight structural components |
Enhanced corrosion resistance
Increased surface hardness and wear resistance
Improved electrical insulation
Stable surface finish for precision assemblies
Optional color coding for part identification (industrial use)
Oxidation treatment forms a controlled oxide layer on the metal surface through chemical or thermal processes. For titanium and specialty alloys, oxidation improves chemical stability and surface durability without affecting core mechanical properties.
| Industry | Functional Purpose |
|---|---|
| Aerospace | Heat resistance and corrosion protection |
| Medical | Biocompatible surface enhancement |
| Electronics | Electrical insulation and surface stability |
| Industrial | Long-term wear and oxidation resistance |
We provide process-controlled surface treatments tailored to precision-machined components, especially for small-batch and high-value parts.
| Parameter | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Oxide layer thickness | 5–50 μm (controlled) |
| Dimensional impact | ≤ ±0.005 mm |
| Surface roughness change | Minimal (Ra increase ≤ 0.2 μm) |
| Batch size | Prototypes to small-series production |
Our surface treatments are engineered to preserve tight tolerances, making them suitable for precision assemblies and functional interfaces.
| Anodizing Type | Application |
|---|---|
| Type II (Sulfuric) | General corrosion resistance |
| Type III (Hard Anodizing) | High wear and surface hardness |
| Titanium anodizing | Medical & aerospace identification |
| Functional anodizing | Electrical insulation & durability |
Each process is selected based on material grade, part geometry, and end-use conditions.
Titanium and refractory metals require strict process control during oxidation to prevent distortion, discoloration inconsistency, or surface embrittlement.
Uniform oxide layer formation
Stable color and surface structure
Enhanced corrosion and heat resistance
No compromise to core material strength
| Titanium Grade | Typical Oxidation Use |
|---|---|
| Grade 2 | Medical & chemical equipment |
| Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) | Aerospace & high-stress parts |
Unlike suppliers that outsource finishing, EadeTech integrates CNC machining, surface preparation, anodizing/oxidation, and final inspection into a single controlled workflow.
Precision CNC machining
Stress relief & surface preparation
Anodizing or oxidation treatment
