Optimize Your Anodization Process with the 720 Rule

Optimize Your Anodization Process with the 720 Rule Anodization is a process used to coat metal or other materials with an oxide layer to improve durability and resistance. The process involves submerging the material in an electrolytic solution and passing an electric current through it. As the material is exposed to the electric current, it produces a thin, uniform oxide film on its surface. This oxide film can then be used as a protective layer against corrosion and wear. An important part of the anodization process is optimizing it for maximum efficiency and quality. One way to optimize the anodization…
