Anodized Aluminum Wire

Anodized aluminum wire is an aluminum wire product that has been treated with an anodizing process, enhancing its surface properties and decorative effect. It is based on regular aluminum wire, and through an electrochemical process, a dense and hard aluminum oxide layer is formed on its surface, improving its corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetic appearance.
