aircraft. Particularly the LG02 swing arm and the flaps and outrigger
parts.
I couldn't find the previous discussion of this. So, what about anodizing?<
The only type of anodising that is acceptable for structural aluminium
parts is chromic anodising. Apparantly this is the only process which
doesn't weaken the metal. Some of the other types can weaken the material
markedly.
