Surface Finishing that makes use of tanklines should consider the use of rinsing alternatives when in design or as an effort for process improvement.

Die castings pose some of the most challenging problems in anodizing.

When you own a finishing operation in Wichita, Kansas — as Paragon Services President Brock Elliott does — you are assumed to rely heavily on a certain well-known airplane manufacturer.

The ultraviolet stability of anodic coatings is assessed based on lightfastness/colorfastness testing.

Brett Cummings isn’t a doctor, but he often plays one with his medical know-how as the owner of Industrial Anodizing in Hyrum, Utah.

Recently, demand for energy efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, and improved performance has driven development of lighter automotive and aerospace components.
