Conductivity of aluminum coating materials

I need to know the electrical conductivity difference between Alodine and Anodize coatings on aluminum.

It depends on which Alodine and what type of anodize process you are talking about and on what alloy and finally on who is running the process and how well the tanks are maintained. In extremely broad terms, anodize is several times less conductive than "Alodine".
