Mixing allows - Plating Powder Coating Buffing Anodizing

Is it safe to anodize say 60xx & 70xx parts at the same time? Or should they be divided into two separate jobs?

The only thing suggested to be isolated from other alloys is 2xxx series

So I would just add up the surface area of all parts both 60xx & 70xx, determine my thickness and ASF then go from there? That sounds way to easy.

at 12v current density, 7xxx needs to be anodized 3/4 the time you would for 6061...at 15v it need to be anodized for 1/2 the time to get right at a 1 mil coating.

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to tell me Destroyer. Are you saying that I will need to pull the 70xx parts out sooner?

Yes I am, it will anodize faster then plain 6061
