Anodization
Anodization is an electrochemical method
to form an oxide layer on the aluminum surface,
and has been done successfully for decades
to protect against corrosion and wear,
as well as provide an aesthetic appearance.

Cast Aluminum
The shape of the part is the most important
criterion for choosing the right production technique.
Generally, aluminum parts with a flat shape are produced by
rolling and extrusion techniques, whereas, the ones with
complex geometry can only be produced by
casting or additive manufacturing

Eloxwell is an emerging new anodizing technology in iyiMetal that delivers high-quality aluminum parts with improved corrosion properties by controlling the parameters with the help of computer science. The principle of Eloxwell is discovered in the delicate parameter control involved in the production, which is powered by smart algorithms, resulting in a seamless production process that has never been mass-produced on an industrial scale before. Not being able to do anodizing of Al-Si alloys has been a big hindrance for the cast aluminum industry for a long time and a solution for this problem is long overdue with iyiMetal the solution is created.
COMPARISON WITH TRADITIONAL ANODIZING
BENEFITS
Weight ReductionWeight Reduction

Aluminum has a much higher strength-to-weight ratio than many common steel grades, often by a factor of two or more. This property enables the design and construction of strong, lightweight structures, which have been extremely effective in the automotive industry.

Mechanical StrengthMechanical Strength

Aluminum and aluminum alloys are available in a wide range of strength values-from highly ductile low-strength commercially pure aluminum to very tough high-strength alloys with ultimate tensile strengths approaching 690 MPa (100 ksi)

Corrosion ProtectionCorrosion Protection

Anodizing produces a thick layer of oxide, which improves corrosion resistance. The passive film is chemically inert and will not degrade or corrode in atmospheric conditions.

Homogeneous Coating ThicknessHomogeneous Coating Thickness

The type, size, and shape of silicon particles may influence the electrolyzing process of the cast aluminum parts, which affects the size and shape of the pores formed on the surface of the parts. With controlling the anodization process, pore structure and oxide thickness can be adjusted according to alloy characteristics.

Wear ResistanceWear Resistance

The oxide layer that forms in the aluminum surface has ceramic properties, one of which is a heightened resistance to wear compared to the aluminum on its own. Anodized aluminum is better than untreated aluminum at resisting nicks and scratches, providing a more durable finish.

Low Surface RoughnessLow Surface Roughness

The hardness and morphology of aluminum oxide contribute to its high wear resistance. Well-ox software can be used to produce smooth and hard surfaces to improve the tribological properties of parts.

High Surface HardnessHigh Surface Hardness

After diamond, aluminum oxide is the second hardest material. Anodization forms a distinct oxide layer on aluminum alloys, providing a hard and durable surface finish.

Electrical ConductivityElectrical Conductivity

Aluminum is a good electrical conductor and is often used in electrical transmission lines. It is cheaper than copper and its electrical conductivity is twice of copper for equal weights.

Low Carbon FootprintLow Carbon Footprint

Because of its low energy, water, and chemical requirements, anodization is a more environmentally friendly coating method than other protective coatings.

RecyclabilityRecyclability

Anodization causes the formation of a natural oxide on aluminum surfaces. As a result, unlike powder coating, a small amount of oxide has no negative impact on the recycling and quality of recycled aluminum.

Aesthetic AppearanceAesthetic Appearance

Anodization forms a transparent oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum. As a result, the metallic appearance and texture remained with the various color options after anodization.

AdhesiveAdhesive

The porous surface of anodized aluminum has a higher contact area and more adherent spots. Because of the pores, the glue or powder paint can partially embed into the surface, resulting in an even layer with excellent adhesion.

We want to do something 'good'.

We aim to make a positive contribution to the society, country, and planet in which we live as good people. We used the Turkish word "iyi," which in English is translated as "good," to our name as a team where good people get together with this desire.

Our well-intended initiative was motivated by the knowledge we needed to present a good, unique, and sustainable business. We discovered from our preliminary tests that we can apply anodization on a larger scale by combining high technological elements such as software, hardware, and electrochemistry. We said why not, and began searching for pioneer technological development, and now it's time to meet you if you're looking for solutions to the same questions we already know the answers to. For you, we have a solution!

We recognize the impact of aluminum as a team of engineers who are inspired by academic studies and market research. We strongly believe that processing aluminum with the software-supported anodizing procedure named “Eloxwell” will enable the transfer of this expertise to multiple industries, especially the automotive sector. We want you to know that we put our commitment into proof of concept as well as in ideas.

Our goal is to do what cannot be applied in the industry globally, to make it sustainable, and to do it permanently. We know the problem. We offer to provide anodization of high alloyed aluminum that is of the best quality with a sustainable process. Additionally, we provide this with our Eloxwell service, which includes electrochemical analysis, anodization, and software supported by artificial intelligence.

While always we wish to share goodness on an industrial scale, we also consider environmental responsibility. Our motivation is to promote aluminum, which has been known for its benefits but has not been widely used, and to give it the value it deserves.

We wish to integrate aluminum into the world in a way that is functional and resistant to corrosion, produced with an eco-friendly and sustainable surface treatment.

If you want to pursue this aim in the same manner we do, we would like to meet you.

iyiMetal with goodness.
FAQ
+
Can cast aluminum alloys anodize homogeneously?
Anodization has become difficult to apply on cast aluminum parts due to the silicon element. By combining electrochemistry and software technology, our technology eliminates all barriers to anodizing Al-Si alloys homogeneously by combining electrochemistry and software technology.
+
What are the difficulties during the anodization of cast aluminum alloys?
Anodization is a chemical process in which conductivity between the base metal and the solution is required. Silicon, on the other hand, is a non-conductive and inert element that must be added to aluminum to improve castability. As a result of the presence of silicon in the aluminum matrix, anodization causes electrical instability. Furthermore, because of the poorly controlled reaction generation, the manufacturing technique and shape of the parts affect the anodization procedure. As a result, we use software technology to maintain control of the anodization process and provide a controlled anodization mechanism.
+
Which cast alloys can be anodized?
Aluminum alloys of various types are used in variety of industries. In terms of anodization, the silicon percentage of aluminum alloys is the most important criterion. We use a software-controlled anodization method to apply the anodization process to a wide range of alloys containing silicon 1-17 percent.
