4 Accelerated Life Tests for Anodized Aluminum Medical Devices
An Overview of Performance Testing Procedures for MICRALOX® Coated Medical Devices
Current sulfuric anodizing specifications for aluminum are based on a range of factors relevant for industrial usage, such as coating thickness and weight, salt water spray corrosion, and abrasion resistance. While meaningful for certain applications, they are a poor fit for the life cycle of anodized medical devices where the aluminum articles require regular cleaning and sterilization; these processes expose aluminum articles to strong chemistries.
