FAQs

• Is anodized aluminum good for laser cutting? Yes, it’s suitable for fiber lasers (check manufacturer specs), producing clean cuts and high-contrast engravings on the anodized surface. Many C02 lasers can engrave anodized aluminum but are not able to cut through.

• Can I use this aluminum outdoors? Yes, its corrosion and UV resistance make it ideal for exterior applications like signage or architectural accents.

• How do I clean anodized aluminum? Use a mild soap solution and a lint-free cloth. Avoid alcohol or ammonia-based cleaners to prevent damage to the anodized layer.

• Can I CNC machine this aluminum? Yes, its lightweight and durable structure supports precise CNC milling; check your machine’s feed rate and bit specifications.

• Do you offer anodized aluminum with the color coating on both sides? Not at this time! But check back since we are always expanding our product offerings.
