I need to know whether or not to have the aluminum panels I'll use for a
lightening arrestor bulkhead and for a grounding/bonding bulkhead anodized.
It would sure make it look better. But since anodizing is a process which
actually creates an oxide layer, I'm thinking that it will actually serve to
reduce electrical conductivity when, in fact, I want it to be maximum.
After all, that's why we use products like Noalox, etc., right?
So, just to check my thinking: I believe I should use non-anodized
aluminum, clear any oxide where I will make connections, use Noalox on those
connections, and let the rest anodize on it's own. Correct?
Thanks in advance.
