Sealing of Hard-anodized coatings

What is the sealing time of a 50µ hard-anodized layer? And what is the best method to do this?

Sealing significantly reduces the hardness and the wear resistance of hard coat. It is best not to seal it unless there is some very good reason. You have excellent corrosion resistance because of the thickness of the coating.
