About Metalux
Metalux Metallveredelung GmbH is a surface technology specialist job finisher based in Altlußheim. The company offers custom coating solutions for aluminium and metal, including anodising, hard anodising, chromating, chromic acid anodising, electroless nickel plating, passivation, powder coating, laser processing and masking. The processes serve corrosion protection, wear protection and the functionality of components, partly in a chromium(VI)-free, environmentally friendly form. An in-house laboratory tests material properties, layer thicknesses and corrosion resistance and ensures consistent process quality. Customers come from industries such as aerospace, defence technology, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and automotive. The Altlußheim site comprises production and quality assurance; communication is in German, English and French.

Materials & Processes
Aluminium
Main material for anodising, hard anodising and chromating processes with corrosion and wear protection.
Metal
Base material among others for electroless nickel plating, passivation, laser processing and powder coating.
Powder coating
Solvent-free coating with corrosion protection, colour fidelity and mechanical durability, free of heavy metals.
Hard anodising
Produces extremely hard, ceramic-like oxide layers on aluminium against abrasion and corrosion.
Anodising
Functional or decorative, strongly bonded oxide layer with good corrosion resistance.
Electroless nickel plating
Uniform nickel-phosphorus layer without current, dimensionally accurate with wear and chemical protection.
Chromating (chromium(VI)-free possible)
Conversion layer for corrosion protection and adhesion base, also in an environmentally friendly chromium(VI)-free form.
Chromic acid anodising
Elastic oxide layer as an adhesion base for adhesive and painting processes, especially in aerospace.
Passivation
Strengthens the passive layer without material removal, also on complex geometries and interior areas.
Laser processing
Contactless marking, cleaning or structuring without chemical residues.
Masking
Precise covering of sealing surfaces and bores during anodising, electroplating or painting.
