Thickness gage for hard anodize
Thickness gage for hard anodize
(OP)
I am looking for a thickness gage to inspect hard anodize thickness on round parts. I have a .0006" tolerance on a bearing bore diameter after anodize. I inspect the parts prior to anodize in a tempeture controlled enviroment then outsource to a subcontractor for the process. I continue to have issues with holding the bore size to spec. The contractor claims that the bore size was out of spec prior to anodize when ever we have non-conforming product. Is there a gage accurate enough to verify this issue?
Thank you,
Jeff.

Holding such tolerances on an anodized part is notoriously difficult. The etching portion of the procedure removes material and then the anodizing is supposed to build it back by a similar amoung. Differences in bath quality, time, surface preparation, and raw stock quality all affect the result.
Does this feature need to be anodized or could it be added afterward? Adding it afterward could save you a bunch of trouble.
