Q. Hello all,
I have a problem when anodizing aluminium 60xx series. ASF 12, time 75 minutes, temperature 14C. Someone had the same problem?
With aluminium 20xx series no problems.

? Hi Anatolii,
Is this a component which has been dyed a copper color but has white patches, or are you saying that this was supposed to be a clear anodized part which turned rust color?
Luck & Regards,
