bonding eg. the W18 flap anchorage brackets?<<

Probably best to abrade, but well below the eventual surface only. You should be
anodising and sealing, hot water or dichromate. The sealing tends to reduce
bonding strength. Dichromate sealing is said to restore fatigue strength that
has been reduced by anodising.
