Typically handling pre-anodized aluminum has been found to be similar to handling other metals with slight adjustments to the stroke required in bending or brake-press applications and stamping or blanking applications. We have information on Forming & Fabricating Anodized Aluminum available on our web site, or I would be happy to forward information to you as well as have a Sales Engineer contact you to discuss potential impact on your fabrication process and some options for consideration.
