Hard anodized Finish :
is an chemical process that hardens aluminum. (Hard-Anodized aluminum is 30% harder than stainless steel. ) During anodization aluminum is submerged in an acid bath, then subjected to electrical charges. The result is a chemical reaction wherein the surface of the aluminum combines with oxygen to become aluminum oxide. This reaction is also known as oxidation, a process which occurs spontaneously in nature. Hard anodization is actually controlled, accelerated oxidation.
