Anodised metal

[KingStromba]

Are williams alloys anodised metal? What is anodised metal?


Can i use metal polish on my silver rims?

dont think they are but anodised is quite litterally to coat a metal surface electrolytically with a protective or decorative oxide.

Yeah that sounds right. Like gavinsing?

Anodising is just a decorative finish. It's achieved by putting the object in a solution and running a current through the part to be anodised. This attracts the solution to the job. therefore getting a equal coating all over.

Galvanising is done in the similar way but obviously serves a purpose other than decorative.

Got you, Cheers.

Anodising is also forms a protective layer to prevent oxidisation, also used to improve fatigue life etc etc.

Yeh used to prolong life of surface its covering but doesn't necessarily prevent oxidisation.
