Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Continuing our factory tour series from earlier this year, this video is a tour of an anodization factory in Taiwan, showing the start-to-finish process of aluminum coloring (ft. Lian Li cases. Sponsor: Gigabyte RTX 2080 Ti Xtreme on Amazon Watch our factory tour playlist here: You can see how PC case panels are made in this raw metal factory: We started our factory tour series a few years ago, but really got deep into it in 2019. We continued the series in March of 2020, but had to pause it for obvious reasons. Now, we'll be uploading the remainder of the tours once every week or two. We've previously toured case manufacturing facilities, but they don't actually color or make the metal; instead, most of the factories we've been to have been at the end of the supply chain, and so our tours in 2019 and 2020 began to get deeper down the supply chain to the source. We've seen how cases are painted (linked below) and have also seen the electrophoretic deposition and electroplating (e. g. nickel plating) factories, which are two tours we haven't yet uploaded. This one, again, looks specifically at anodizing, which is one of the most common ways to coat a PC component. This process is particularly used for aluminum products, often 5000- or 6000-series alloys found in cases and keyboards.

I think there is a huge issue right now on youtube, and it is starting very soon. Youtube has started to demonetize videos containing hololive youtuber Korone for relating to c av s. Search up youtube video Take a day off, Korone if you don't believe me. Youtube has started to demonetize videos unrelated to c na. My current theory is that youtube's AI has some sort of machine learning that tries to make words that are recognized in the same comments, titles, or descriptions (anywhere with text really) often equal to each other, so it began thinking of korone as a thing that is a part of c onav us, because the commenters made a meme where kor ev us is c av s to bypass youtube c nsorship. If this continues, various other pseudonyms such as human malware will also become demonetized. this is super important because this is the money that youtubers need to survive being cut off because of youtube's ai. (this really reminds me of a comic called xkcd where they had one about an AI generated meal, and the AI was so far off and it made a ton of mistakes. Stuff like this shouldn't EVER be put into a real, production environment but it somehow is. Using pseudonyms is not safe as long as we keep it in the same comment anymore. Google should not do this, but google is google is trash is a dumpster fire (bet that one will get me banned real quick) so they do) The comic is xkcd #720 (Title: Recipes) for anyone wondering. I don't know who to tell this to, but I think it could be very big problem in the future.

Dope ass video. Top tier work honestly! I've worked in an electroplating factory, and almost everything you filmed and said is 100% correct. However, what anodizing is in general, is creating an oxide layer(alumina) which is much harder and tougher than normal aluminium. There are multiple things you can do with aluminium anodizing: - Clear anodizing. Just stick it in there, and it will do its magic without any color. - Add in pigments so the pigment stick themselves inside loose holes inside of the alumina, and create colored anodizing.

So is it annodizing, sand blasting (with certain sand shapes) or brushed aluminium that gives that nice rough low shine texture on certain cases? Ive wonderred that and even looked into home annodizing and sandblasting since i do paint a lot of my own stuff, but wasnt sure like what makes the outside of say a 2008-09 Mac Pro tower's finish or if they all do just slightly differently etc. Would love some kind of side by side comparison of all the different case finishes outside of paint/colors obv. Either by GN or just somewhere

This is awesome, always been interested in the anodization process! I do wish this video was a bit longer, there's so much to be known about it, I learned most of it when researching how I could anodize an aluminum bike frame of mine. I would have liked to see more detail on the dyeing and sealing processes, as well as getting some more details on the white anodization as white dye particles are infamously too big to be engrained in the porous oxide layer

Seeing any colored anodized aluminum gives me such weird nostalgia. I think it was because when I was a little kid, someone gave me a set of jacks that were all different colored anodized. While I never actually played with them as intended, I loved looking at them and all the different colors. Also. who the hell gives a kid born in the 80's jacks and a present? I mean. it was like 30 years ago, but still. I don't know anyone that's played with them, lol.

gamersnexus I enjoy these but you go very quickly for my dumb brain. I was wondering if you guys have ever considered creating and showing a flow chart towards the end with a little recap of the process? Highlighting the importance and or purpose of specific steps. All though now that I say it. It's kind of discourage me from thinking too hard and encouraging users to just jump to the end with the flow chart. Lol.

It would be nice to see more colour choice. I love Lian Li's occasional red cases but they are small in number and usually at the high end of the price range. I'd like to see some all aluminium coloured PC011 versions. I'm aware this would increase cost but a choice in common colour themes would sell well I think.

I had to pass the link to your yeston cutepet (god i hope i spelled that right) to my mother and she found it delightfully funny, and i thought so to until she asked me where you can get these, to wit i asked her if she watched the ENTIRE video as you made it pretty clear that these are really hard to import.

Hmm, I wonder if there is any difference between the way anodizing is done there and the way it is done here in the U. S on aluminum AR-15 parts. I have two AR-15s with the standard black anodizing, but have never seen any videos on how it is done. Guess it's time to search YT to see if there is one!

Not sure this is a healthy place to work looking at those acid baths giving of vapour. Especially when Lian-Li said this factory was the better one. Looking up US videoes the workers there seem to wear respirators with gas cartridges.
