Aluminum Anodizers Council view detail comment email this

The website for this trade organization contains background information about the anodizing process for aluminum, "an electrochemical process that thickens and toughens the naturally occurring protective oxide." Some of the information on this site is highly technical and of a promotional nature, but it also provides basic information about the anodizing process, applications (such as cookware), and care and repair of anodized aluminum. Searchable.
