Magnesium Anodize Benefits

Magnesium Anodizing differs from other surface finishing techniques like electroplating because it increases the naturally occurring oxide layer, rather than adding another layer of metal to a substrates surface. This leads to a wide range of qualities that make the process valuable to certain manufacturers. Some of the most notable qualities of Magnesium Anodize are listed below:

Corrosion protection
Lubricity
Anti-galling
Wear resistance
Stable, unfading, highly replicable colors
No dimensional change
Environmentally friendly
Cost effective
Improve adhesion of dry film lubricant or paint application
Customizable final aesthetic appearance across many colors
And Many More!
