    Question

    Which of the following statements is TRUE about anodizing?

    B.

    It is a process used for making thin phosphate coating on steel to act as a base of primer for enamels and paints

    C.

    It is an oxidizing process used for aluminium and magnesium articles

    D.

    It is a process of coating of zinc by dipping

    Correct option is C


    Anodizing is an electrochemical process that increases the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of aluminium and magnesium. This process improves corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and provides a surface for better adhesion of paints and dyes.
    Key Points:
    · The part to be anodized acts as the anode in the electrochemical setup.
    · Sulfuric acid is commonly used as the electrolyte.
    · It is widely used in aircraft parts, consumer goods, and construction materials.
    · Anodizing is different from galvanizing, which involves zinc coating.
