Computer chassis anodizing - a practical way to protect your system units

Anodizing, an electrolytic passivation process, is aimed at increasing the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. This process is also being applied to computer chassis (also known as computer casing) as this is a practical way to protect a system unit, particularly the components inside it.

Here are some practical benefits of anodizing computer chassis:

• Makes the computer casing sturdy and therefore can not be easily deformed when a force is exerted on it; provides more strength to the casing and therefore can hold the components in their places.
• Makes the metal sheet more resistant to corrosion and therefore can prolong the system unit's life span; anodizing protects the metal sheet from air moisture and other external constraints that can potentially damage the components inside.
• Makes the metal sheet with less scars and more resistant to wearing, which is common during fabrication and surface dirt cleaning

Anodizing advantages over other metal sheet processes:

• The process is generally less expensive
• Anodizing, as opposed to other form of coating, cannot peel-off since the coating itself is part of the metal.
• Anodizing's translucent property gives a metal sheet a deeper, richer metallic appearance, which is not only aesthetically advantageous but opens the possibility of computerized color matching with quantitative, objective color data.
• Anodizing is environment friendly; anodizing service providers, therefore, are indeed taking a bold step for environmental rehabilitation/protection campaign leading to a sustainable development.
