Anodizing
Red Anodizing of Fuel Injector
Anodizing is a finish that protects metal by increasing the surface oxide layer. The anodizing process is often used to:
- Improve durability
- Provide various colors
- Enhance corrosion resistance

- Provide better adhesion for painting
- Reduce galling of threaded components.
Anodizing is mainly used for aluminum alloys.
Examples of parts that often benefit from anodizing include:
