What Does Anodized Mean – Mocayo Ball Lock Pin

Scientific Explanation of the Anodizing Process

What does anodized mean? It refers to a surface treatment process that creates a protective oxide layer on metal surfaces through an electrochemical reaction. The process involves placing aluminum parts in an electrolyte bath as the anode and applying direct current to generate a dense aluminum oxide coating. At Mocayo, we adopt a hard anodizing technique that complies with AMS 2469 standards, forming a 50 ± 5μm oxide layer on 6061-T6 aluminum alloys. This layer achieves a surface hardness of over HV800—five to eight times higher than the base material.

This oxide film has a unique dual-layer structure:

• The barrier layer, close to the base metal (0.01–0.1μm), ensures strong corrosion protection.

• The outer porous layer, after sealing treatment, becomes a reliable defensive barrier against wear and corrosion.
