Aluminum is one of the few metals that is made stronger through the oxidation process. Oxidation is the process that causes rusting, so for most other metals this is a cause of deterioration. So, what is anodized metal? It is the strengthening process aluminum goes through is called anodizing, which usually involves a bath of acetone that induces electrical currents.
Ultimately, it can result in aluminum that is harder than diamonds. It is often used in harsh environments or in applications that require exposure to the elements. The hard coating that results from the process replaces the original substance. Plus it does not flake off like normal rust, so it can be used in many applications
