Computer Chassis Anodizing Advantages And Benefits

By Roy van Rivero


Considered to be one of the most important processes in the metal finishing industry is a process called anodizing. It is an electrolytic passivation process that is employed to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer of the surface of the metal parts (e.g. metal sheet). This process is also popular in the production of computer chassis (i.e. computer casing) as a lot of manufacturers find it a practical way to protect a system unit most especially the component inside it, resulting to a better quality product.

Practical benefits of anodizing computer chassis:

The process can make a computer casing sturdier, which helps protect the components inside it more than a computer that has not undergone the same process. An anodized casing provides more protection so that the metal sheet cannot be easily deformed when an external force is applied to it for some reason. It can hold the computer components inside it in their respective places.

It makes the metal sheet more resistant to corrosion and therefore can prolong the system unit's life span; anodizing protects the metal sheet from air moisture and other external constraints that can potentially damage the components inside.

It makes the computer casing more resistant to wearing; it also minimizes scars, which are common during fabrication and surface dirt cleaning.

Anodizing process - some advantages over other metal sheet processes:

In general, the process is considered less expensive

As opposed to other metal processes, anodizing computer chassis provides a surface that cannot peel-off as the coating itself is part of the metal sheet.

Anodizing process provides a translucent property that makes a treated metal sheet in a deeper, richer metallic appearance. This gives an aesthetic advantage over other processes and, aside from that, provides the possibility of computerized color matching with quantitative, objective color data.

Anodizing is environment friendly; anodizing service providers, therefore, are indeed taking a bold step for environmental rehabilitation/protection campaign leading to a sustainable development.

The above-mentioned benefits and advantages of computer chassis anodizing are just a few items. There's more. This is the reason why more and more companies prefer this particular metal finishing process not just for computer chassis but for other materials as well utilized in manufacturing electronics and other related products.
