Both are elite finishes, but they are not created equal. We break down the science, performance, and ideal applications of Cerakote ceramic coatings versus Hard Anodizing (Type III) to help you specify the perfect protection for your part.
Key Points to Cover:
· The Showdown: A direct comparison of properties: hardness, corrosion resistance, heat tolerance, weight, and cosmetic options.
· Hard Anodizing’s Domain: Why it’s the go-to for extreme wear resistance and hardness in aerospace and military specs.
· Cerakote’s Versatility: Its superior corrosion resistance, wide color range, and application on various substrates (including some plastics and previously anodized parts).
· Decision Matrix: A simple guide (or flowchart) to help engineers choose based on their component’s primary threat (abrasion vs. chemicals vs. aesthetics).
