Anyone know anything about Anodising?

Got some aluminium parts I'd like to get anodised. Unfortunately some have got steel parts on them which can not be removed. Would this cause any problem with the plating process?

TrevD may know - he has a lot of the parts he makes anodised

I have got a feeling that you can only anodise Non-Ferrous metals - await to be corrected.....
