Aluminium Anodising

We offer an anodised aluminium services of the highest standard, surpassing any generic specification, providing an end product for lightweight bonded aluminium solutions where bond durability and corrosion resistance are equally critical parameters.

The automotive industry has drastically changed over the past decade and the focus has landed on efficient, sturdy yet lightweight component design for the chassis of electric vehicles.

Our aim is simple, we want to help improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, increase range, and extend the life and recyclability of vehicles. Our aluminium anodising surface treatments play a significant role in this aim in the following ways:

• Provides durability in harsh conditions
• Aluminium has a lightweight advantage while maintaining strength, integral for optimising range and performance 
• Protection against oxidation to increase longevity of vehicle 

Anodising is an environmentally-friendly surface treatment and anodised components remain recyclable which means that we are constantly advancing in the world of engineering without leaving the environment behind.

What type of anodising surface treatment do we offer?

At BCW, we use Type II sulphuric acid as part of our aluminium anodising surface treatments. The properties of this chemical helps to create a strong coat of aluminium oxide that is corrosion and abrasion-resistant. This helps to improve the performance and longevity of vehicles.

Our expertise within the sector of anodised aluminium surface treatments has seen us advance from machining and anodising components for OEMs into the Aerospace and Off Highway sectors.
