Anodizing is a method for changing the surface chemistry of metals and other substrates. It protects against corrosion, enhances aesthetic qualities, resists scratching and is one of the most durable surface finishes available. Anodizing can be done on a range of materials, but today let’s look at aluminum.
This series is specifically catered to professionals interested in engineering, manufacturing, product design and product development.

ITS REALLY HELPING TO KOW THE ONFIELD KNOWLEDGE

[@TurnRacing]

Always love these videos! Thank you. Would be great to see more in depth on thermoforming, different mold types like gypsum and so forth.

[@norbertschauer9475]

Yet another great video Gordon - best 10 minutes this week! Have you thought about moving to Hollywood?

[@Mi.wagh786]

Really like this video

[@omerbc]

I learned and laughed, great video.

[@starrapid]

We are very glad. Thanks!

[@jamescerven4400]

Another great and hilarious video! 😂

[@starrapid]

Thank you :)

[@billstrahan4791]

I love that you are so playful in your videos! Too many company owners are afraid to joke around and have fun. Kudos!

[@starrapid]

Thank you kindly :)

[@billstrahan4791]

@@gordonstyles5676 You and I both, apparently! I have a lot of fun with machining and making things!

[@metalikartz]

Great video and thank you for sharing some great info! I was curious why @8:42 you said not to use titanium racks that they will interfere with the electrical conduction. Did you possibly mean to say aluminum because it could lose electrical connection due to the rack being anodized? I thought titanium was the best choice because it wont get coated. Again thanks!

@@gordonstyles5676 Hey no problem. Just did my first part last week. Turned out pretty good(black dye). Had a few unexplained splotchy areas around the edges. WIP!

[@RyanJensenEE]

It is always a pleasure to learn details of industry from a knowledgeable and competent manufacturer.
I found the jokes and gags in this video distracting. In my opinion, the "humorous" interruptions detract from the value of these videos.
Thank you for making this introduction to anodizing!

Thank you, and your feedback is noted :)
