FAQ

Anodizing can be applied to various metals. These include: aluminum, titanium, tantalum, magnesium and zinc.

Anodizing can cause parts to become larger. This is because a thin layer is added to the surface of the metal during the process. This layer is a solution composed of salts and chemicals. However, it is important to consider this layer when designing accurate parts. At QoCreators, we are happy to connect you with the right party that knows exactly how this process works and is happy to help you further.

In general, anodizing preserves a used color for a long time. Exactly how long it retains depends on several factors, including: exposure to sunlight, conditions of use and the quality of the anodization layer.

The cost of anodizing varies and depends on several factors, including: the type of metal, the size and complexity of the part, the desired color and finish, and the amount of material to be treated.
