Chromic acid anodizing of Clad 2024 aluminum alloy sheets vs. bare material




August 9, 2013

Q. Hello,

I am looking for some expertise/opinion on technical/economical advantage/disadvantage of chromic acid anodizing of Clad 2024 aluminium alloy sheets thickness 0.063-0.80" in comparison to same bare alloy .

A. Hi Sam,

2024 is a nominal 4.4% copper containing alloy and is one of the harder alloys to get a consistent finish (not impossible, just not as easy). With cladding you have a pure aluminum surface, which is easier to anodize with more consistent results.
