Hard Anodizing (Type III)
Capability bounds and precision manufacturing specifications for Hard Anodizing (Type III).
Capability Bounds
| Standard Tolerance | Adds dimensional growth of approx. 50% of the coating thickness per surface. For a 0.050 mm coating, expect a dimensional change of ~0.025 mm, typically controlled to +/- 0.012 mm. |
|---|---|
| Min Feature Size | Coating Thickness: 0.025 - 0.075 mm (Typical 0.050 mm; coatings >0.100 mm have a high risk of spontaneous crazing and reduced fatigue life of the substrate). |
