📜 Story:
In this video, we're exploring the fascinating world of Anodization, a complex electrochemical process that turns regular metal into a robust, vibrant, and visually appealing masterpiece. Watch as we dive deep into the science behind this process, explain its importance in various industries, and demonstrate the transformation step by step. From bare aluminium to a rainbow of durable, corrosion-resistant colors, the transformation is nothing short of miraculous. If you've ever wondered how everyday objects like your smartphone, kitchen utensils, or even high-tech aerospace components gain their durable, colorful finishes, this video is a must-watch. So, sit back, relax, and join us as we embark on this exciting adventure into the world of Anodization.

That’s a strong independent bolt that don’t need no nut

[lkblondie]

i dont think it actually changes the strength, just the color.
(EDIT: I was incorrect, but I'll leave the comment here for anyone who wants to see the corrections in the replies)

[alexrichenderfer]

It’s oxidation, the color comes from the thickness of the oxide layer according to the thin film equations, meaning you can measure the thickness of the oxide layer by looking at the color

[DawsonTyson]

FACT CHECK. Anodizing a metal creates a stable oxide layer that helps prevent corrosion damage to the part.

[TheHelleri]

Anodization pits the surface of aluminum and titanium based alloys and fills those pits partially with another material. Changing the surface on a microscopic level changes the angle at which some light bounces of it and other light gets absorbed. Which for us changed the color.

Strength with rigid materials is primarily a measure of two things. Hardness and Toughness. Hardness is the ability for a material to resist permanent surface deformation (like a dent or scratch). Toughness is the ability of a material to resist self-separation (such as a crack or chip).

These two things work in unison to keep a rigid material together (and really any material in some sense). The balance of these factors creates different types of resistance. Like Normal (strait up and down, perpendicular to the material) strength or Shear (at an angle to the material) strength. As well as Densile (compression) and Tensile (stretching) strengths.

Anodizing really only effects the surface of a material. But it does so by removing material and not replacing as much as it removed. Or giving the surface a stronger geometry in the absence of some material. So, it can only weaken material hardness. The amount by which it does so may be negligible. But it' definitely not a strengthening process.

I want to do this just for the therapeutic aspect. Cheaper than counseling. Yes, I'm easy to entertain. 😂

[LCARS]

Only on aluminum, titanium and rhodium though, and chromic anodization like that only works on titanium. I anodize aluminum parts for corrosion resistance and it just looks damn good. 😉👍

[YouTube_you]

Aluminum is a durable material to begin with, but following the anodization process, the surface becomes even tougher than the base aluminum. Anodized aluminum creates a surface that is three times harder than standard aluminum, and will not chip, flake, or peel, even when processed to add color.

[AlexanderMason]

It doesn’t change the strength of the metal at all. It makes it more corrosion resistant as well as more resistant to scratches and superficial wear. Nothing to do with toughness or hardness of the material the screw is made of. It’s essentially just a thin layer of a harder material around the exact same thing you started with.

[timmychurros]

For anyone wondering. This is actually really cool. They take titanium and dip it in an electrolyzed solution it immidietely changes color because of the atoms binding to the surface. If you change the voltage it changes the color. U can get this bolt to turn a whole rainbow of color by changing the volts in the solution. Awesome stuff

[pezzygamez]

Ah yes, titanium is such a vulnerable metal

[peelenana]

Titanium is easy to play with anodization. I did on my bike. Looks fancy

[rainzer]

The oxide layer is more durable. We coat drill bits in oxides to make them last longer.

[rohandas]

Remember those colour changing Toy Cars.

[seethekarma]

Niobium metal has that ability. It's so beautiful with jewelry.

[soyb]

Anodization is an electrochemical process used to reduce the external corrosion in metals such as aluminum and titanium. The anodization process converts the metal surface into a metal oxide surface and protects the interior metal from oxidizing.

[rdcoasttoast]

Strength and Durability are not equal. This is why industrial applications will choose Carbon Steel over Stainless. Anodization does nothing to overall strength

[andrewferneau]

Technically it doesn’t “strengthen” the metal it makes the corrosive resistant coating more durable.

I wanna jump in a pool of this and pretend im a Chamillionaire

[BloqsToys]

Me over here doing titanium anos for a living
