It has been a long time since I last posted on here, mostly due to the fact that things are going smoothly.

My mom (who has been known to post under this name as well) is R&D for me generally, but I thought I ought to handle this one myself. We have located and downloaded the alloy specifications sheets for the industry standards. However, the document is many pages long, and rather cumbersome to read.

On to the question:

Does anyone have or know how to get a hold of this: I want a list of alloys (even just the series would be okay, but I would prefer it broken down further) and how they behave in anodizing. For instance: Alloy such and such darkens when anodized. Alloy ___ becomes brittle, etc.

The reason this comes up: a guy wants me to anodize some bike parts in alloy T-6061, and I have no good way to look up the alloy and its behavior. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
