#BP1 The Technology of Anodizing Aluminum, Third Edition
by Arthur W. Brace
As written by the internationally renowned Arthur Brace in his preface, the third edition is "… an attempt to set out much of the detailed experience gained in more than 40 years involvement in aluminium
finishing. This information is such that most of it is not to be found in published research papers and the trade literature but arises from personal experience of investigating problems under production conditions."

#BP4 Anodic Coating Defects Their Causes & Cure
by Arthur W. Brace
This is another informative book by Arthur W. Brace that should be in the office of all anodizers. “… All industrial processes give rise to defects which are the cause of rejection. … Anodizing has a feature
that is not shared by other finishing process; namely, that the final result depends upon the quality of the underlying metal as well as the skill of the anodizer. This publication attempts to identify, not only the defects arising from
the processes involved in producing an anodic finish, but also those that may have originated in the material.”
