Aluminum anodizing OX-A

medicalMIL-A-8625 Type II

OX-A is a clear aluminium anodizing treatment in compliance with MIL-A-8625 Type II, and ISO 7599. OX-A anodizing treatment is composed of an electrolytic aluminium oxidation process. It is performed by dipping the substrate in a sulphuric acid solution at 20°C and by applying direct electric current. During the process, the surface of the aluminium part is transformed, creating a protective film of aluminium oxide with a typical thickness of 10-20µm. The OX-A treatment protects treated parts against corrosion and wear. The corrosion resistance of parts anodized with OX-A passes 336 hours in salt spray in compliance with MIL-A-8625. The treatment is used to protect automatic machinery components, in the medical field, home appliances, and industrial components. FEATURES CORROSION RESISTANCE The OX-A film protects the base material from corrosion, exceeding 336 hours of salt spray exposure in compliance with the requirements of MIL-A-8625. RESISTANCE TO LIGHT WEAR AND SCRATCHES The layer of aluminium oxide formed by the OX-A treatment makes it possible to achieve high scratch resistance and resistance to minor wear phenomena.
