[Notes on anodizing]
・The natural color of the hard anodizing process is different from the normal anodizing process, which uses dyes to add color and form an oxide film, and is a special process that forms a very strong oxide film without using dyes.
Therefore, there are no dyes applied and the coloring is resulted by materials or procedure.
Please note that any claims regarding the color of the product not accepted.
・Some parts are painted instead of being anodized.
In this case, sandblasting is used as a stripping process.
The cost of sand blasting will be charged separately by cash on delivery.
Please note that KOKEN is not responsible for any anodized aluminum defects caused by paint residue left on the surface when the customer removes the paint by himself.
・Some parts may be plated.
In that case, it will charge you for the stripping work separately or return the part without processing.
・Please clean the parts beforehand as sending it back to KOHKEN DENKA.
Due to the process of anodizing, KOKEN will clean the product, but it may not be possible to completely remove the oil and grease adhering to the thread locking agent and the screw holes that are not penetrated.
If those foreign substances become masking effects or drip somewhere in the treatment process, it may cause anodic defects (unevenness in dyeing, flaking, etc.).
Please note that KOKEN is not responsible for such cases.
・The anodizing process has the property that it depends on the material very much.
Especially, hard anodizing is remarkable for its properties.
Especially, cast products (including die-cast products which are often used for motorcycle stock parts) are prone to uneven color or uneven dyeing because the composition of the material is not constant, and the material itself may not be dyed with discoloration or may be dyed darkly.
Due to the difference of materials, not all the parts you request will have the same finish.
This is an unavoidable phenomenon due to the characteristics of anodizing, so please be aware of this before ordering.
Please note that KOKEN will not accept any claims even if the requested parts are not satisfactory because some products are not apparent to the eye.
・It is not recommended to peel off the anodized aluminum by yourself when re-anodizing.
At KOKEN, re-anodizing is available at a price that includes anodizing stripping.
The anodizing exfoliation process is one of the processes that greatly affects the finish.
If you do the exfoliation work by yourself, it may cause problems such as "rough surface of aluminum" or "strange surface color".
Please note that KOKEN is not responsible for such cases.
・The finish of re-anodizing depends on the material of aluminum.
It also reflects the current status of the parts.
The laser etched parts will disappear by re-anodizing (the character mark will remain).
・When reanodizing, the cylinders with press-fit parts will become loose.
The clearance of the press-fit part of the bearing and the part where the pin is stuck will be wider than before processing.
This is an unavoidable phenomenon due to the characteristics of anodizing, so please be aware of this before ordering.
KOKEN will not answer your questions about how to deal with the problem.
・If there are scratches or corrosion on the parts you currently use, they will be anodized as they are, so the scratches, corrosion marks and dents will not disappear.
Re-anodizing does not guarantee that the part will look like new.
・Products consisting of multiple parts (parts joined by press fitting, etc.) may be stained only in the part where electricity is flowing due to the nature of anodizing.
In addition, there is a case that sagging occurs from the joint part of each part, and it becomes the cause of the anodized aluminum defect (unevenness of dyeing, flaking, etc.).
・Parts with components other than aluminum (stainless steel, iron pins, bearings, etc.) cannot be processed as they are because they will be dissolved during anodizing.
Please note that you will be asked to remove it or return it untreated.
In addition, please note that you can accept any claims even if you have disposed of the remaining resin writers on the wheel nuts, etc. as they are.
・If requesting a pipe with both ends blocked, please specify the position of the hole to be drilled.
Due to the characteristics of the anodizing process, a hole for water drainage will be drilled (about 4mm in diameter, two holes at both ends for one pipe).
The parts that cannot be drilled are not accepted.
If the position of the hole is not specified, KOKEN will decide the position of the hole and drill it.
・Due to the characteristics of the anodizing process, the parts are cleaned by high-pressure washing after each process.
When attaching the parts to the jig one by one, some small parts may come off in rare cases.
However, KOKEN is not responsible for the parts that cannot be recovered.
・In the event of a defect in the anodizing process due to the negligence of KOHKEN, in principle, KOHKEN will only guarantee the cost of treatment of the defective product.
The warranty does not cover any other secondary liability.
[Note on delivery time]
Please note that the delivery date will be extended if there are omissions in the required information.
・If there are any parts that cannot be anodized as they are during the inspection after arrival, KOHKEN will contact the customer for confirmation.
In that case, the delivery time will be extended due to the interruption of work.
