I want to have a couple of aluminum parts anodised black. (They are raw now)
On each part, there is a hole with threads where a bolt goes.
Will the anodising affect those threads at all?
The anodiser said that during the process, they put the parts into sodium that will "reduce" a tiny bit of metal and that this will affect the threads making them a little loose... :O
This "lost" metal is nothing to be seen on the flat surfaces of the parts but since the threads are more sensitive, there will be a noticeable difference, there....
Is he bullshiting me or is he right?
