Badger Anodising (Birmingham) Ltd Offers High Quality Service In A Good Range Of Volumes

By Thomas Hadley


There are numerous processes to complete the outer layer of a metal, some improving its mechanical properties and others being more decorative in nature. Badger Anodising (Birmingham) Ltd specializes in one of the most commonly used treatments, which creates a layer of metal oxide on the surface. This layer is usually far harder than the first metal.

Perhaps one of the most important benefits conferred by the process is improved resistance to corrosion. Other critical traits are reduced thermal and electrical conductivity. Drawbacks are reduced fatigue resistance although further treatments are possible to improve this depending on the final application. The appearance may also be improved by colouring the finish.

Doubtless the most important application of the method is in the treatment of aluminum, both to harden it and make it more attractive. Based in the English Midlands, Badger Anodising focuses on this sort of metal treatment. They do a complete process, including pre-treatment, polishing and both hard and color anodising, and are also willing to treat limited quantities on an one-off basis, unlike the other firms.

The firm owes its flexibility as to size of order to the supply of a huge semi-automatic plant for bigger orders together with a far smaller, manual vat more suited to smaller production quantities. This allows it to fill a niche in the market for this kind of metal finishing which might instead go begging. It just shows that although there's an almost universal move to high-capacity plants, there's still a place, even in the modern economy, for simpler, less efficient, but more flexible production techniques.

The company is happy with its fast reply and superb quality control, which permits it to offer a service which is tricky for competitors to match. Extensive experience at providing superior finishes for cooking utensils and other metal consumer products means the firm is an ideal choice for this kind of work. The quality appearance of properly polished, color anodised metal products makes them extremely appealing to potential consumers.

Although it focuses on aluminium, Badger Anodising is also totally capable of treating a variety of other suitable metals like titanium and magnesium. Anyone looking out for a supplier to anodise one of the other metals usually treated with this process should contact the firm who will be only to happy to counsel if there is available capacity and give guesses on possible lead times and costs concerned. It will also be able to counsel on the acceptability of the method for different applications.

The presence of this company in the market adds another string to the choice of finish for those involved in fabricating smaller volumes of metal products. Tiny firms are now able to compete totally and offer the same stunning appearance as much larger rivals. Should appearance not be as critical as improved characteristics, hard anodising can be undertaken too.

The firm is to be congratulated on its pragmatic approach. Work can be trusted to them totally confident the requisite quality standards will be met and delivery schedules adhered to. With the concern for detail and good workmanship, this company defines those elements for which Brit industry was famous.
