Yes, we strictly anodize aluminum material. If your material has other components that are not made of aluminium, they will need to be removed prior to being sent to us.

We can accept material up to 25 feet in length and 6 feet in depth.

Anodizing works best in 6063 T5 alloy (this is best for extrusion). For aluminum sheets, the best alloy is 5005. Other alloys may lead to a yellow tint when clear anodizing. The consistency of colour and of the anodic layer may be comprised if different alloys are used.

Nearly all orders will be completed and ready for pick up within 5 business days. We have the largest capacity in North America which allows us to provide faster lead times than anyone in the industry.

Pricing for extrusion is based on the perimeter of the material and we work off the extruder’s drawings. Prices for sheet is based on the square footage. And all small/custom part pricing is done on a case by case basis depending on the ease of racking the load.

The usual rule of thumb is that if you can feel a scratch by rubbing your fingernail across the surface of the aluminum, you will be able to see the scratch after anodizing. It is always recommended that the anodizer and customer establish visual quality requirements before the anodizing process takes place.

In a batch anodizing process, an electrical contact must be made to each part that is going to be anodized. The more electrical current required, the larger the electrical contact area must be. At the point of the electrical connection, the passing current causes a burn mark and/or pit in the area of the contact on the part. For each order, we will need to know what the apparent surface is, to try and avoid any contact points in these areas.
