Anodising
In 2010, The Verbrugge Group took over TECALs activity to give birth to TECAL-Verbrugge. The site located in Vire (France) is specialized in the anodising process (OAS) and more globally in the electrolyte and chemical treatment of aluminium alloys such as electrolytic colouring, spectro-colouring...
We develop and Harden all our aluminium components for many type of industries: construction, mechanics, lightning, automotive, aeronautics...
> Anodising
Anodising protects aluminium parts by using an anodic oxidation process to treat surfaces. Given its many properties (thermal and electrical insulation), Aluminium oxide prevents the metal to abrade thanks to its hardness. The film is transparent and becomes almost inert to atmospheric agents after undergoing proper treatment of clogging.
> Reinforced anodising
This method has the advantage of applying a more flexible layer. It is less subject to variations in expansion or cracking than hard anodic oxidation. It also offers the possibility to be clogged correctly and is therefore protected against impurities while in use.
> Surface preparation
Using chemical erosion (chemical attack on the piece), this method is used to smooth the surface cleaning it of all impurities that the mechanical polishing wasn’t capable of removing. This process allows us to obtain parts which very much look like chromium or mirrors.
There are several types of surface-work, chemical or mechanical.
> Electrolytic colouring
The aluminium parts are immersed in a mineral pigment colour. The shade changes depending on the time (length) of immersion. Thanks to this process we are able to obtain many different colours.
> Spectro-colouring
This revolutionary colouring method is obtained using a combination of chemical and electrical processes managed by a computer allowing the formation of an artificial layer of alumina controlled in its size, distribution and orientation.
