Anodising
Working with our expert partners
Anodising is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. It increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal. Anodic films are most commonly applied to protect aluminium alloys.
Anodised Fabrications.
Mettal do not carry out in-house anodising. Instead, we leverage our expertise and relationships to identify the best external partners. Mettal supply fabrications fabricated from anodising-grade aluminium, onto which our partners anodise.
Fabrications are prepared in our factory, ensuring our clients’ requirements are fully complied with, prior to dispatching for anodising.
Lead Time
Materials are returned to us for final inspection, after which a low-tack protective coating is applied prior to dispatch to our clients.
The lead time for these works is 10-12 working days from completion of the fabrications.
At the time of quoting your works, we will confirm a delivered date to you
