This is a dual forum post, combining anodizing w/powder coating. I’ll be posting on the PC forum as well. Now that I’ve got these two figured out, it’s time to do some real parts.

I’ve got a cast aluminum part that has a steel part embedded. I’m planning to mask the steel (w/Caswell liquid Mask-It), anodize the aluminum, then mask the aluminum, and powder coat the steel. (or the other way around).

Will the anodized & dyed surface withstand the 350-400º oven bake for 15 minutes?

or would it be better to powdercoat the steel & mask it before anodizing?

Does anyone see other problems with this?

Thanks, Sean
