Description

It’s important to make sure all grease, oil, or other possible contaminants are removed before starting the anodizing process. The white balls floating in the bath in the foreground prevent evaporation.

Alt text: Photo of a woman lifting metallic pieces out of a container of liquid.

Descriptive text: In this photograph, a woman in a blue lab coat, purple gloves, and safety glasses lifts a long metal stick with spikes out of a container of liquid. The container is set in a long metal counter with several similar containers. Another counter runs behind her, so the camera can see the blue and white front. The spiky stick holds several flat gray triangles with holes in the middle. The top of the photo reveals tall walls lined with pipes and tubes. An orange, yellow, and white chart is fixed to the wall at the back of the room.
