Default Re: 7000 series parts dye, but 6000 series won't

I don't have an answer for your particular problem right now. I'll have to give it some thought. I can tell you that most of the parts I do are 6061 and I've never had any problems taking dye. I try not to mix material grades if I can keep from it because of the different voltage curves in Fibergeek's charts. They indicate to me that the different grades grow the coating in different ways possibly allowing some parts to rob current from the others. This is just my perception on the process. SS
