Titanium Anodizing 101

Titanium anodizing is an electrochemical process that enhances the natural oxide layer on surface of titanium. This process involves immersing in an electrolyte solution and applying an electrical current, resulting in a, more durable oxide layer. The anodized finish not only improves corrosion resistance but also allows for a variety of colors interference effects.
