The Cold Forging Advantage for Type-II Anodized Machined Aluminum Spools
Cold forging fundamentally transforms the aluminum’s molecular structure, creating a denser, stronger material with superior grain alignment. Unlike casting, which can introduce porosity and inconsistencies, our cold forging process ensures exceptional structural integrity throughout the entire spool.
With our 60+ CNC machines and monthly capacity exceeding 100 tons, MAIKONG delivers precision-engineered components with remarkable consistency. The cold forging process aligns the metal’s grain structure along stress lines, significantly enhancing tensile strength and fatigue resistance – critical factors for components subjected to repeated stress cycles.
Key Benefits of Cold Forging
- Enhanced material density and structural integrity
- Superior tensile strength and fatigue resistance
- Optimized grain flow for improved mechanical properties
- Excellent dimensional stability and consistency
- Reduced material waste compared to machining from solid stock
Type-II Anodizing: Superior Protection for Aluminum Spools
After the cold forging and precision machining processes, our aluminum spools undergo Type-II anodizing – a critical surface treatment that dramatically enhances corrosion resistance, wear protection, and aesthetic appeal.

The Science of Type-II Anodizing for Cold Forged Machined Aluminum Spools
Type-II anodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminum surface. At MAIKONG, we’ve optimized this process to deliver a coating thickness of 0.7-25 microns, providing the ideal balance of protection and dimensional precision.
Type-II anodizing forms a corrosion-resistant and durable oxide layer with a thickness ranging from 0.7 to 25 microns, depending on the intended application. The coating’s color varies based on the metal type and voltage of the current.
Advantages of Type-II Anodizing
- Exceptional corrosion resistance in diverse environments
- Enhanced surface hardness and wear resistance
- Excellent electrical insulation properties
- Ability to accept dyes for customized appearance
- Environmentally friendly surface treatment
