A type of aluminum that has been treated to be harder and denser than standard aluminum. Available in nonstick finishes, it is also nonreactive with foods.
Aluminum that has been electrochemically processed to change the molecular structure and alter its color to dark gray. The process hardens the surface, making it stain- and scratch-resistant.
Plating of aluminum to prevent rusting and to enhance the strength of aluminum.
Subjecting aluminum to electrolytic action in order to coat it with a protective and decorative film.
Anodization is a process, which converts the outer layer of an aluminum case or ring to aluminum oxide, an abrasion-resistant ceramic-like coating that is deposited electrolytically, resulting in an exceptionally hard surface. Anodization allows a wide range of unique colors to be possible.
Subjecting aluminum to electrolytic action which coats the aluminum with a protective and decorative film.
Anodization is a process which makes aluminum harder, non-porous and more durable. Anodized aluminum will be darker, which causes it to respond faster and more intensely to heat. Anodized aluminum will not chip, crack or peel, and can withstand lots of use (and abuse) in the kitchen.
