: How is coresponding with thicknes? How to achive higher hardness? minimum is 350 HV.
: Thanks a lot for any feedback
Hardcoat anodize will pass tabor abrasion testing and I have heard it to be between 40-60 equivalent to rockwell standards. Problem being, rockwell standards are for steel so the coating will end up breaking when the aluminum is dented since it has a very low hardness.
