  What is anodizing?
• Anodizing is an electrolytic process where the
  surface of the metal oxidised. The oxide formed
  on the surface works as a shield to the inner
  metal and protects it from the outer environment.
  
• In this process the metal is places in a tank
  full of electrolyte solution and a high voltage
  current is passed through the tank. This current
  oxidise the surface of the metal and act as
  shield to the metal.
• Aluminium is the majorly used metal in
  anodizing. most of the metal that are anodized
  are aluminium or its alloy. Magnesium, titanium,
  zinc are other metals which are anodized.

Where
it is used?Anodized is an inevitable for almost
all the manufacturing industries.The kind of
advantage anodizing gives, makes it useful for
all the metal based manufacturing. Anodizing is
most common for improving corrosion resistance on
certain alloys, particularly those that are
subject to marine environments things like ship
hulls, dock components and oil rig structures,
for example. It's also used for abrasion control,
and is common in sandpapers because of its high
hardness.

• Benefits of anodizing
• Durability
• in anodizing the surface of the metal get coated
  with the non-metallic oxide. This prevents the
  contact of the metal from outside environment,
  making it more durable and strong

Finishing In the process the metal
gets attractive finishing. Surface can either get
colour or clear finishing, depending on the need
but both looks shiny and attractive 
Ease of
maintenanceScars and wear from fabrication,
handling, installation, frequent surface dirt
cleaning and usage are virtually
non-existent. Rinsing or mild soap and water
cleaning usually will restore an anodized surface
to its original appearance. Mild abrasive
cleaners can be used for more difficult deposits.

Cost overall the anodizing
helps in cost cutting to the businesses. Once the
metal is anodized it hardly needs any
maintenance. The life cycle of the metal is
increased so the replacement of the metal
machinery or any anodized metal is decreased. In
the initial anodizing cost bit more than paint
but later unlike anodizing paint has to be done
again and again frequently.

SafetyUnlike any other coating anodizing is not
harmful. Some anodized metals are used in medical
equipment and utensils. You will generally find
anodized pressure cooker or fry pan in your
house. This is one of the greatest advantage of
anodized that it can be used in many ways
