What Metals Can Be Anodized? - aluhm - 02-02-2018
Aluminum is the most commonly anodized material. However, there are several other types of materials that can be anodized. Magnesium can be anodized but its applications are very limited. Titanium is perhaps the second most commonly anodized material, though still nowhere near as popular as aluminum. Some materials simply should not be anodized. Carbon steel will simply corrode if it is brought through an anodizing process.
