Do you mean abrade through the anodising and into the original surface material?

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.

What method did you use? What is the reference to hot water?
