You might be wondering why we’re talking about hard anodizing. It sounds like a process that’s as exciting as watching paint dry. Well, not quite. Hard anodizing is a bit of a superhero in the world of manufacturing. It’s the process that gives aluminum the strength to withstand daily wear and tear and the resilience to resist corrosion. Your aluminum cookware doesn’t scratch when you get too enthusiastic with the spatula. So, while it may not be the most glamorous topic, hard anodizing is essential.
