Hold the two aluminum pieces together in an insert molded part.
Aluminum for rigidity of some of the external tabs.

@mcgyvr I see what you're saying, you are right. I feel silly.
I may be able to split my parts into two so that there is only one trace per mass of aluminum.
Given that, the result I am trying to achieve is a conductive, corrosion resistant individual trace on a metal. Since metal is...

The two traces would not be electrically connected.
@mcgyvr
I understand that the bulk body is electrically connected, but it is my understanding that current is a surface phenomenon so that if (for example) I masked off two circles during a type III anodizing process that holding a...
I've got a design in my head that I think works, but I'm wondering if there are any gotchas
Processing looks like this:
-Part is aluminum 6061
-Mask is applied (contains two separate traces)
-Type III anodization is performed (leaving raw aluminum where masked)
-Type II anodization is...
