Can Vapor Honing Remove Anodizing?

The question “can Vapor Honing remove anodizing” has been posed to us many times. To answer this question, using a few parts with different anodization levels, we tested to see if Vapor Honing was capable. Our testing is in the video below.

What is anodizing?

According to Design Strategies Specialty Product Representation, anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant anodic oxide finish.

Today we are blasting two types of anodized parts. We did a test to see if Vapor Honing can remove anodized surfaces. During the Vapor Honing process, we noticed that the surface of the anodized parts was more difficult than we thought it was. So, after a few adjustments, the Vapor Honing process became a breeze. After vapor blasting, we have concluded that this process can remove anodized surface parts without damaging the surface.

Why Does It Work?

The reason Vapor Honing can remove this kind of surface is because the process is gentle on the surface yet removes any kind of contaminations or coatings. Once the abrasive touches the surface, the water cushions the abrasive, dampening the impact. With the additional properties of water, it also keeps the surface cool and cleans while you are Vapor Honing. You can only get this kind of process through a Vapor Honing machine and the results are amazing.
