Can a Dip Brazed Aluminum Chassis Be Hard Anodized

September 13, 2012

Q. As the title asks: Can a 6061 aluminum chassis that has been dip brazed be hard anodized? The filler is aluminum so it seems like it should be possible but I don't know if trapped salts would be an issue. In addition, this chassis must meet IP67. If it can be done, what issues can I expect?
