When it comes to choosing between Alodine and anodizing, there are a few important differences to keep in mind. Alodine, which is a chromate conversion coating, is usually limited to a few color options like yellow, brown-yellow, or natural. The coating is relatively thin, ranging from 0.5 to 4μm, and has a softer surface. One of its unique qualities is that it retains electrical conductivity, which can be an advantage in certain applications. The process itself is done at room temperature, making it energy-efficient. On the other hand, anodizing offers a broader palette of color options and creates a thicker, more durable coating—typically between 5 and 25μm. The surface it creates is much harder and, importantly, non-conductive, which makes anodizing ideal for applications that need electrical insulation or a tough, long-lasting finish. However, anodizing requires higher temperatures and tends to consume more energy. So, depending on whether you need conductivity, toughness, or aesthetics, both processes offer unique benefits for different applications. Learn more: https://www.sogaworks.com/blogs/alodine-coating/
