There is "dye" anodizing and "Hard" anodizing(wears like ceramics). See http://www.pioneermetal.com/finishes and scroll down the menu column for descriptions and wearability. Most bike parts(not all) are dye anodized. Art Link,San Antonio,TX,USA

If I buy an anodized pot or pan with the expectation that it will last, not chip off, or wear off or corrode, am I not fooling myself? Most of my precious bike parts haven't survived without some scarring to the anodized finish, at least in spots. Is there something special that they do to cookware that is not being done to bike parts or is all anodizing the same more or less ?
