ISO AS9100 Hard Anodize With In-House CNC Machining
CustomParts-MFG specializes in MIL-A-8625 compliant Type III hardcoat hard anodizing paired with full in-house 3/4/5 axis CNC machining, holding ISO9001, AS9100, RoHS & REACH certification. Our low-temperature electrochemical hard anodize grows dense ceramic-like aluminum oxide layer at 60~70HRC hardness, precisely controlling coating thickness from 0.0005” to 0.003” per side. Supported by custom selective masking, strict batch testing and integrated post-treatment, our hardcoat solution serves aerospace, automotive, medical, robotics and industrial machinery for components operating under high-friction and corrosive harsh environments.
Our anodized precision parts from this manufacturer are outstanding. The finish is exceptionally uniform and durable, perfectly meeting our specs. Quality and consistency are always reliable.
Core Functional Advantages of Hardcoat Hard Anodizing
- Ultra-High Hardness & Abrasion Resistance: 60–70 Rockwell C hardness effectively avoids galling and heavy wear for long-cycle moving aluminum parts.
- Superior Chemical & Salt Spray Corrosion Barrier: Thick compact non-conductive oxide layer withstands chemical erosion and long-term outdoor harsh working conditions.
- Excellent Electrical & Thermal Dielectric Insulation: Reliable isolation property ideal for electronic insulation and thermal isolation components.
- Dimension Stability & Long Service Life: In-situ grown coating minimizes dimensional expansion, retains original precision tolerance and cuts equipment maintenance & replacement expense.
- Ideal Underlayer for Secondary Finishing: Uniform porous surface provides outstanding adhesion base for paint, primer and PTFE impregnated lubrication coating.
Applicable Aluminum Alloy Grades & Design Guidance
- Available Alloys: 2000, 6000 and 7000 series aerospace & industrial aluminum alloys; alloy silicon content and material temper directly affect final hardcoat quality, our engineering team provides pre-production material consultation.
- Custom Pre-Process Options: Precision pre-machining, bead blast, polishing and custom masking to shield critical threads, inner bores and fitting surfaces from coating buildup.

When standard anodizing isn’t enough, our Hard Anodize (Hardcoat) process provides the ultimate surface solution for precision metal parts. We go beyond aesthetics to engineer functional performance:
- Extreme Wear & Abrasion Resistance: Creates the hardest surface layer of any anodizing type, significantly outlasting standard finishes.
- Superior Corrosion Protection: A dense, thick oxide layer acts as a formidable barrier against harsh environments.
- Excellent Dielectric & Thermal Insulation: The non-conductive coating provides reliable electrical isolation and heat resistance.
- Permanent & Integral Coating: Unlike plating, Hardcoat is grown from the base aluminum, so it won’t chip, flake, or peel.
- Maintains Precision: Our controlled process ensures minimal dimensional growth, preserving your tight part tolerances.
