Pulse anodizing is a specialized anodizing technique that uses pulsed electrical currents instead of continuous direct current (D.C.) or alternating current (A.C.). In this process, the current is applied in short, controlled bursts (pulses) rather than a constant flow. These pulses can be carefully adjusted in terms of frequency, amplitude, and duration, allowing for precise control over the formation of the oxide layer.
Pulse anodizing is primarily used to achieve improved oxide layer properties, such as enhanced hardness, uniformity, and surface finish. It is particularly valuable for applications requiring high-performance coatings, complex geometries, or advanced material properties.
