Types of Anodizing
Most
modern firearms today use parts made of aluminum. The most common
is the U.S. military M16 and all other civilian versions. Anodizing
can be found on most military weapon systems, components, tactical
rifles, pistols, shotguns, and accessories made of aluminum.

Type II - Standard Anodizing - MIL-A-8625
This
application produces a porous aluminum oxide film, that is hard, resistant
to wear, and allows for greater penetration of dyes. This type of
anodizing is more common, and prefer for applications requiring lighter
colors.

Type III—Hard
Anodizing - MIL-A-8625
This
application is similar to the Type II anodizing, but the film of
aluminum oxide is produced at much higher voltage and cooler temperatures.
The result is a film that is greater in thickness, harder, smoother,
and it is more wear and corrosion resistant than the Type II anodizing.
