The advantages of anodising
Anodising is not only visually appealing, but also provides effective protection against abrasion and corrosion. The anodised layer also provides improved sliding properties and offers high heat resistance and good electrical insulation. These properties make anodised aluminium ideal for a wide range of applications in various industries.
FAQ Englisch
Anodizing is an environmentally friendly process as no toxic chemicals are used and the treated aluminium is fully recyclable. As anodizing is energy-intensive, the electricity mix plays a decisive role in the ecological balance. BWB continuously invests in optimizing the energy efficiency of its plants.
Which industries benefit most from anodizing?
In addition to mechanical engineering, aviation and medical technology, the electronics, construction and consumer goods industries also benefit from the advantages of anodizing. BWB also creates anodized works of art that explore the limits of the anodizing process.
Heloxal hard anodizers
Heloxal is a BWB product innovation that revolutionizes the corrosion resistance of anodized coatings in demanding environments. Compared to conventional hard anodized coatings, Heloxal offers up to ten times better resistance.
PTFE impregnation
For even better sliding properties, hard anodised parts can be additionally impregnated with PTFE. PTFE impregnation is often used in dry lubrication and in bearings and seals to minimize friction.
Dimensionally accurate coatings
The application of a protective layer leads to an increase in the size of the component. To ensure that the dimensions remain true to size, the increase must be neutralized by chemical erosion or already taken into account during mechanical processing. Tolerances agreed in advance can be adhered to when anodizing to size.
Oversize anodising
BWB Surface Technology anodises aluminium components with a weight of up to 2 tons, a length of 22 meters and a height and width of 2.2 x 1.3 meters.
Titanium anodising
As a competent expert for high-quality anodization of titanium, BWB offers a comprehensive range of services at its Dresden site. We produce titanium oxide coatings in various color nuances, which are determined by the thickness of the coating. This coloring enables clearly identified process validation. Thanks to state-of-the-art equipment and a highly qualified team, we offer customized solutions for our customers in the aviation and other industries.
