Will Anodized Aluminum Rust?
ohapuqa > 10-11-2019, 03:51 AM
Anodized aluminum is aluminum that has been submerged in a chemical acid bath, causing an electrical current to run through it. This electrical current oxidizes, or rusts, the surface and creates a protective film. Because of that, anodized aluminum does rust but not in a typical way, and more importantly not in a harmful way. It has increased resistance to corrosion and wear. The anodizing process can work on almost any non-ferrous metal, such as tantalum, titanium, zinc, and magnesium.

Anodizing does not just increase the durability of an anodized aluminum sheet—it heightens the visual appeal too. The oxide layers added by anodizing make the aluminum surface better for dyes, adhesives, and paint. Anodized aluminum nameplates allow the image to be sealed in anodized aluminum. This ability makes for superior image appearance with lasting quality.
