I don't need the aluminum anodized underneath the Ti... That's the point, the Ti is protecting the aluminum. Not the anodize.
Imagine a square block. The existing prototype has a hole drilled one direction to the middle, and another direction 90 degrees off of that. The gas in the manifold is eating out the material where it is making that 90 degree turn. I am going to bore and press fit a piece of Ti down the line of one of these holes. Then drill the Ti the one direction, and drill into the end of that Ti- hole the other direction, so that the 90 degree turn is made in the Ti. I have no need for the aluminum under the Ti to be anodized. The question is if the ti and aluminum will be fine getting anodized at the same time, since pressing a dowel in, and drilling it would be best done while the entire part is machined, instead of after the anodization is done, and the part can get nicked up before going to market.
