That's true for hard anodizing, but not for "normal" or decorative
anodizing, where the dye is applied after the part is anodized but
before the coating is sealed.

There may be, but a hard anodized part is generally not dyed, but left
the with the color it acquires in the process.

There's nothing wrong with it as long as the thickness of the Al2O3

Your graph is chosen because it peaks at the end. You are ranting to

clearly shows that the peak was smaller and earlier and the trend is

Bottom line....I have several that arrived from the supplier scratched
and based on the bulk pricing I received it would be somewhat absurd
to request/ship for exchange. It is cheaper to just touch them up.
Also, I need to machine them....It is cheaper to buy bulk surplus and
machine than to open a new special order with the manufacturer.....Get
the picture now?
Interesting....LOL!
Tell me about. I have an anodizing kit with several dyes and I know
how to use them.
Now you're talking....That's good to know and is exactly what I'm
looking for. Thanks!
The Gecko 320 servo motor drive is one.
I'm aware of that. Thanks!
