-Enhanced Hardness: Compared to regular anodizing, the oxide layer formed by hard anodizing is typically harder, providing higher scratch resistance and durability.
-Corrosion Resistance: Hard anodizing also offers greater corrosion resistance compared to standard anodizing, making the metal surface more durable.
-Thickness: The oxide layer of hard anodizing is usually thicker than that of regular anodizing, which contributes to its increased hardness and wear resistance.
-Applications: Hard anodizing is commonly used in products requiring higher surface hardness and wear resistance, such as automotive parts, industrial equipment, and military applications.
