Talk:Anodizing

message: This article makes use of all sorts of metalurgy jargon which the reader is clearly expected to know.  Perhaps some of it can't be avoided.  In that case, said terms should be wikilinked.
I'm tempted to go in and wikilink them myself, but that's a slippery slope.  It'd be better if someone who knows their stuff were to go through and decide what terms should be briefly defined in the article, and what terms should simply be linked to their respective articles.

message: I have just read the comment on the discussion page that points out that the anode is positive and the cathode is negative. This is correct. I don't know how to amend the article, but it should be amended to ensure that it is correct.

message: "Sealing at 20 °C in nickel-cobalt salts, cold sealing, when the pores are closed by impregnation is also popular due to energy savings.  Coatings sealed in this method are not suitable for adhesive bonding."
Is cold sealing the name for any process with nickel-cobalt salts at 20 degrees? Should we say room temperature? Can I assume it can be just around 20 degrees? Maybe it's only called cold sealing when "the pores are closed by impregnation" and other times it's just nickel sealing? --Gbleem 02:29, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Sorry for the off-topic post, but I have a hypothesis about anodizing aluminum with DNA that I've written up (perhaps not so clearly) at http://infoeng.sf.net/dic-proposal.pdf .  I would be enormously grateful if anyone could provide me with any feedback regarding that paper.  Thanks. :) JPatrickBedell 22:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Not a big deal from a science standpoint of course, but jumping back and forth in spelling variants isn't ideal.  Pick one or the other.  The vast majority of references in the article and on the web are of the American spelling so I changed the rest in the article (may have missed a few) to match.  I cannot figure out how to change the title of the article though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.120.179.12 (talk) 00:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  British vs. American Spelling 

message: I removed a few statements which said the strength and adhesion of anodic films could be explained by the fact they are chemically bonded to the surface, or that they are grown on the surface. Paints, chromate conversion coatings, and arguably platings are also chemically bonded, but they crack and peel much more easily than anodic films. The reason for the greater strength of anodic films has to do with the fact that oxygen binds to metals better than anything else, and that most metal oxides like alumina are very strong by themselves, which is again due to the strong oxygen bonds. But I don't have a clean way to explain that, nor do I have references to cite.--Yannick 02:38, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm curious as to whether the hot sealing process (normally immersing in boiling water) is a chemical or thermal reaction/process - can anyone clarify for me? It is unclear from the main page.
:Note that the dichromate seals are also hot processes. But I don't know the answer to your question.--Yannick 17:17, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

message: As I read though this article, I come across some items that initially struck me as incorrect.  Has an expert in the field looked this article over?  A couple of areas that didn't seem right upon initial viewing include the descriptions of Types (I, II, and III), and the thickness for hard anodize that doesn't match the standard at all (.0020 +/-20%).  Is anyone else noticing these sort of issues? — fcsuper (How's That?, That's How!) (Exclusionistic Immediatist ) —  01:13, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Is that the standard? Because commercially I find the tolerance to be around +/- 100%. LOL...but to answer your question I haven't reviewed the article. Wizard191 (talk) 02:29, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Wizard191, according to the MIL spec, that is the standard.  It is necessary to achieve the required hardness.  Also, I've striked-out my comment about types.  That part is correct (just checked). fcsuper (talk) 14:41, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you mean the required durability. The coating is the same hardness no matter what thickness it is. Wizard191 (talk) 15:15, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup.  We can work on clarifying any issues with the article over time.  I think it is close enough right now to be OK without requiring any urgent edits.  — fcsuper (How's That?, That's How!) (Exclusionistic Immediatist ) —  16:57, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I came here looking for the colors possible with anodized aluminum. Somthing like that strip on the titanium section but for aluminum would be great. --TiagoTiago (talk) 16:14, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: As the article says, the colors possible are almost limitless.  They are achieved by adding dye, and there are lots of different dyes in the world.  The titanium chart shows the colors you can get without any dye.  Aluminum anodizing just looks like aluminum without any dye. Ccrrccrr (talk) 01:15, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I read that black anodised aluminium have very high emissivity compared to pure or alloyed aluminium, so this is why it is used for radiators.
