Anodizing aluminum panels and aluminum profiles is a common surface treatment process, which forms a dense oxide film on the surface of aluminum. The oxide film has airtightness, a certain hardness, and a certain hardness. Compared with chromate passivation, it has scratch resistance and electrical insulation on the surface, which means it is non-conductive.

For chassis with EMC electromagnetic compatibility requirements, the contact surface of the components during assembly should have good conductivity and continuity. The single-sided anodized panel is designed to meet the electromagnetic compatibility requirements of the chassis, with anodized on the front and conductive oxidation on both sides.

It not only ensures the scratch resistance of the front of the panel, but also ensures the conductivity continuity of the side.

Other surface treatments for panels include wire drawing anodizing, sandblasting anodizing, surface oil spraying, powder spraying, electrophoresis, etc. Usually, the surface treatment method for one's own product is determined based on one's own design style, process requirements for the product, functional requirements for the product, as well as comprehensive considerations of processing technology and product budget.
