Danny is an ok fellow, but his statement is simply untrue

anodizing is a coating, over a material which is prone to corrosion
-> no coating is perfect, or indefinitely durable
this is why there are ASTM testing procedures to 'quantify' corrosion susceptibility and rate

there is nothing that Dtek or any mfgr can do that will make aluminum as corrosion resistant as copper, particularly when 'mated' to a copper component

marketingspeak, not good - not accurate or correct
I didn't see anything in Danny's statement that led to believe that the coating is "perfect", nor "infinitely durable". As theetruscan stated, it's a question of quality, never mind the spec (who follows specs anyways?)


Sproket: copper is much harder to mill than Alu.
