Anodizing & powder coating

Anodizing and powder coating on lines inside the plant, sequenced around machining so the finish and the features never fight each other.

Anodizing & powder coating — Running Aluminum factory, Shandong
OP 03 — Anodizing & powder coating

Start with the profile. Add the processing you need.

Order aluminum profiles and combine the operations your application requires in the same quotation.

Small-section extrusion

Small cross-section aluminum profiles for compact designs. Send the section drawing, alloy, wall thickness and required length for a feasibility review.

Small-batch color anodizing

Blue, red, yellow, green, purple and black color options for small-batch projects. Specify the quantity per color and provide a color sample or reference.

Processing to your drawing

Cutting, hole milling, drilling, welding and stretch bending can be quoted with your profiles. Include hole positions, bend geometry and assembly requirements.

Minimum section size, wall thickness, batch quantity and processing feasibility are confirmed from your drawing. Anodized shades depend on alloy, surface condition and sample approval; white finishes require confirmation of the finishing process.

For your quotation: section drawing · quantity by profile and color · cut lengths · machining or bending drawing · finish reference.

Production is arranged with our own and partner factories, with the scope confirmed for each project.

03Frequently asked questions

Anodize or powder coat — how do we choose?

Anodizing grows a hard oxide film out of the metal itself and keeps a metallic look; powder adds a paint film with a far wider colour range. Exposure, appearance and spec decide it — describe the application and we recommend one, with the class to call out.

Can you hit a specific RAL colour?

Powder coating is matched to a RAL reference or to a sample you send, and we confirm the match with you before the batch runs.

Machining and coating — which happens first?

The sequence depends on the drawing, finished dimensions and surfaces that need masking. Machining and finishing are coordinated through our own and partner factories; the process sequence is confirmed for each project.

Do you issue coating-thickness reports?

Film thickness is measured as part of routine QC and salt-spray tests are available; tell us the class or thickness your spec names and the report comes with the shipment on request.
