About Project

This beautifully crafted Al6061 handle is a prime example of the incredible precision and quality that can be achieved through modern manufacturing techniques. Its eye-catching blue color is the result of a special process called anodizing, which not only adds a touch of elegance but also creates a durable, protective coating.

The handle's special base help it firmly attach to matched components. The intricate details and smooth finish are a testament to the high-precision CNC machining process used in its production.

If you're looking for top-notch anodizing services to give your products a stunning finish, look no further than FacFox. Our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced team can provide a wide range of anodizing colors, including the beautiful blue seen on this handle.

Solution

  • Step 1: Material Selection. A high-quality Al6061 aluminum billet was chosen for its strength, durability, and machinability.
  • Step 2: CNC Machining. The billet was clamped securely onto a CNC lathe and turned to the desired shape and dimensions. Precise tolerances were maintained throughout the machining process.
  • Step 3: Anodizing Preparation. The machined handle was cleaned thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil, or contaminants that could interfere with the anodizing process.
  • Step 4: Anodizing. The handle was immersed in an electrolytic bath containing a suitable anodizing solution. An electric current was applied, causing an oxide layer to form on the surface of the aluminum. The specific conditions of the anodizing process were carefully controlled to achieve the desired blue color and thickness of the oxide layer.
  • Step 5: Finishing. After anodizing, the handle was rinsed and dried to remove any residual solution. A sealant may have been applied to further enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of the anodized finish.
