Crazing
Crazing is a natural reaction of the anodic film when bent beyond its capabilities. We recommend using thinner anodic film products for end applications that require a high degree of bending and/or forming. In addition, for high touch end applications, we recommend a matte or brushed aluminum finish to soften the appearance of finger prints and other oils transferred from human skin onto the metal surface.
Forming Capabilities
Most standard Lorin products are produced using half hard to full hard tempers. Better forming tempers are available for applications such as formed cellular phone and PDA skins upon request. Minimum order quantities of an ingot apply.
Material Inspection
Material is reviewed for visual consistency from edge to edge at a distance of 5 feet or 1.5 meters looking straight at the material hanging from a vertical surface.
Surface Protection
Lorin recommends that surface protection be applied to all specular / high reflective finish products as well as any anodized product with a thin anodic film to reduce surface scratching during the production process.
Visual Standards & Limitations
Due to natural variations which are inherent to the raw aluminum surface in certain alloys, anodized aluminum products may display a range of color shades which do not indicate a product defect. Please confirm with your Inside Sales / Sales Manager if your order is for standard inventory stock or a specific product that requires consistency throughout. Aluminum finishes are directional by nature and may show a color shift or shift in visual appearance when viewed at different angles. Please communicate running direction at time of assembly or finished product production.
