Anodized Stainless Steel Coil?

January 14, 2009

I would like to know if there is anyone capable of anodizing stainless steel coil. I am aware of a number of companies who anodize aluminum coil.

Stainless steel does not really anodize. The process for producing a oxide layer on stainless is called passivization.
