The basics, or enough to experiment with it can be found in The Surface Treatment and Finishing of Aluminum and Its Alloys by S. Wernick, R. Pinner, P.G. Sheasby, pg 81.

This is a two volume set, not cheap, published by ASM, I think AESF and Gardner both carry it also. This is probably the singular best source of information and a great bibliography of references. A must for any shop that is going to do anything more than simple anodizing.
