Content Description

Anodizing 101: Building, Construction, & Design, 2024
CEU: 0.125 | CEU Code: AA-EN-174102-1224

In the 1920s, aluminum turned the world of metals upside down with its benefits of light weight, strength, fabrication flexibility, and durability. Since then, finishing technology has provided a steady stream of protection and coloring improvements. This course explores the sustainability of aluminum, the anodizing process, and the performance characteristics of architectural anodized aluminum. It includes information to assist in the selection and specification of architectural anodized finishes for aluminum sheet, extrusions, and panels.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the aluminum anodizing process and evaluate the differences between the different methods and types of anodizing.
  • Identify the elements added to aluminum to improve its performance and reference the wrought aluminum alloy designation system to describe the characteristics of the aluminum alloy series.
  • Discuss the sustainable, life cycle, and environmental features of anodized aluminum.
  • Describe the sequence of treatments and treatment options for aluminum sheet and extruded parts and panels.
  • Evaluate the advantages of using architectural anodized aluminum as part of building construction and the factors that must be considered when selecting a high-performance aluminum finish.
