Gm,

Etching in Chromic / Sulphuric is required prior to Anodising to remove and even out surface imperfections eventhough alkaline degreasing to some extent etches the surface of Aluminium. Also, a Dip in chromic/sulphuric bath will help in removing the smut formed on the surface during Alkaline Degreasing.
