Anodising vs. powder coating

What are the advantages of anodising over powder coating for aluminium parts?

Solved by Evgeny M
Thank you for the question! Actually, we have quite an extensive article on that topic, here's the link. In a nutshell, anodising offers excellent durability, enhanced corrosion resistance, and integrates with the aluminum for long-term resilience, particularly useful in harsh environments. Powder coating provides a wide color range, effective scratch and impact resistance, and is cost-effective for large-scale applications, making it suitable for aesthetic-focused end parts. Deciding factors include aesthetics, environmental conditions, and functional requirements. Hope, it's helpful!
