Aluminum is stronger and more durable than mill finish aluminum. The process of anodizing allows for the steel to embody these characteristics. Anodizing involves an aluminum coil or sheet being placed into a chemical acid bath. An electrical current is passed through the acid, causing the surface to
anodized The anodizing process allows the natural beauty of the aluminum surface to shine through, creating durable products by combining aluminum and anodizing finishes with different shades..

reason for specifying SAFINISH anodizing (Class I) is to make an anodic coating as durable as possible. Coating thickness is the most significant indicator of durability for anodized coatings. Coating thickness for architectural use can be specified as either Class 1 (0.7 mils) or Class 2 (0.4 mils) per Aluminum Association DAF 45, but

The thin aluminum flashing widely used today is inexpensive, but is a poor choice in many applications. Always choose metal flashings that are compatible with the building materials to prevent galvanic corrosion. Also choose flashings that will last at least as long as the siding or roofing materials where they are to be

Why does corrosion occur between anodized aluminum and Aluminum is a reactive metal (unnoble) which should have a low corrosion resistance, according to thermodynamics. The high corrosion resistance found on aluminum, nevertheless, is due to the presence of a thin, compact film of adherent aluminum oxide on the
