What is ISO 10074 about?
ISO 10074 specifies requirements for hard anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium and its alloys, including test methods and the information to be supplied by the customer to the anodizer.
BS ISO 10074 specifies the information to be supplied by the customer to the anodizer.
Note: ISO 10074 is not applicable to coatings produced by processes such as those referred to as plasma electrolytic oxidation, micro-arc oxidation, plasma-chemical anodic oxidation, anodic spark deposition or spark anodizing
Who is ISO 10074 for?
ISO 10074 on Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys are applicable to:
- Construction, automotive, mechanical Industries
- Manufacturers of aircraft & aerospace
- Shipbuilding industry and marine industry
- Transport and construction industries
Why should you use ISO 10074?
ISO 10074 provides guidelines and test methods for hard anodic oxidation coatings to attain resistance to corrosion and resistance to wear through abrasion or erosion in aluminium and its alloys.
Hard anodic oxidation coatings are mainly used to obtain resistance to wear through abrasion or erosion, electrical insulation, thermal insulation, build-up, and resistance to corrosion. ISO 10074 helps in anodic oxidation coatings applications on aluminium and its alloys which provides these benefits.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS ISO 10074:2021 supersedes BS ISO 10074:2017, which is withdrawn.
The technical changes compared with the previous edition are as follows:
- Pretest abrasion test numbers have been added as requirements to the abrasive wheel wear test
