anodizing |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.04 sec. |
anodizingProcess that increases the resistance to corrosion of a metal, such as aluminium, by building up a protective oxide layer on the surface. The natural corrosion resistance of aluminium is provided by a thin film of aluminium oxide; anodizing increases the thickness of this film and thus the corrosion protection. It is so called because the metal becomes the anode in an electrolytic bath containing a solution of, for example, sulphuric or chromic acid as the electrolyte. During electrolysis oxygen is produced at the anode, where it combines with the metal to form an oxide film. |
