CNC Machining Aluminum Parts Before Anodizing: Dimensional Compensation Guide

CNC machining dimensions that pass inspection before anodizing may not remain within tolerance after surface finishing. Anodizing transforms a portion of the aluminum metal substrate into an anodic oxide layer, and causes part of the anodic layer to grow beyond the surface. The final layer thickness can be affected by pretreatment, etching, sealing, alloy composition, ... Read more
