Anodize Aluminum 6061
Anodize Aluminum 6061
(OP)
Hi, may I ask if anodizing Al6061 would make it non-conductive too?

RE: Anodize Aluminum 6061
Yeah. I am concerned it is thin and whether it can survive during vibration... it sounds like I need to get some experimental data?
RE: Anodize Aluminum 6061
If you need electrical insulation then use an insulator.

RE: Anodize Aluminum 6061
@MintJulep, the part needs to be insulated is also structural part... wonder what other metal material can be used other than plastic?
RE: Anodize Aluminum 6061
OH,BTW what temper 6061??? -T4 or -T6... and 'how thin'? Is it to be welded?
For electrical use exclusively in a very controlled environment?
Etc. The quality of our answers = quality of the question/parameters.

RE: Anodize Aluminum 6061
My bad. The temper is T6.No welded joint and all screw and nut in a space environment.

I love spaceflight/spacecraft/satellite design... even though my bread-n-butter has been MIL! Materials in space are at a whole different level than earth-bound aircraft.
The NASA LDEF experiment used anodized 6061-T? for experiment trays... so it got +5.5 years on-orbit exposure. Awhile back I got a copy of the following document that might be very useful.
LDEF Materials Results for Spacecraft Applications https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19940026507/do...
There are others, related to real-world [out-of-this-world] findings... do some digging.
