When Type III Anodising Is the Better Choice
Hard anodising is selected when components need a thicker and more wear-resistant oxide layer than standard anodising typically provides. It is common in higher-load applications where surface durability and long-term stability are critical.
Higher Wear Resistance
Built for components exposed to abrasion and repeated contact.
Thicker Oxide Layer
Type III targets a more robust surface profile for demanding duty.
Industrial Fit
Suitable for parts requiring durability beyond decorative finishes.
Planning a Type III RFQ
Include alloy type, part geometry, target thickness, and application duty when requesting hard anodising review. This improves process matching and avoids later specification rework.
If Type III is not required, Type II may provide a more practical balance of finish and performance.
