Hard coatings, also known as hard anodizing, is an electrochemical process which is used as a corrosion resistant coating. It is mainly applied to aluminum surfaces, aluminum alloy parts or pieces in order to give rise to a hard surface coating. Hard coatings are resilient to corrosion, wear, and are temperature resistant. They possess low friction coefficient after undergoing lubrication. Hard coatings find their applications in decorative coatings, cutting tools, optics, gears, cans, injection molding dies, and firearms.
