Best anti-wear coating for high strength aluminum?
(OP)
I have several alloy shafts that will see road use. They will carry loads but indirectly through bearings on the shaft. While the load will rotate on the bearings, the bearings themselves are still able to rotate on the shaft.
What would be suggested as a good low friction, anti-galling/wear finish or treatment that I could have applied to minimize wear of the shafts against the steel bearings rotating as well as corrosion brought on by the elements?
ION Bond was suggested by a friend who has had several firearms coated with it.

If you are able to hold everything stationary and let the bearing do the rotating while keeping the inner and outer race stationary using a Tolerance Ring.

I am going to look into those rings more and see if they may be the key.
