	I'd expect it to be fine.  eg its used in microwave plumbing.

	Indeed.  However this merely moves the conductivity 'in'.
	The layer of Al UNDER the AlOx is nicely conductive, the
	current flows there.  AlOx is a good (in terms of loss)
	dielectric.  With care in making joints, I'd expect
	it to work fine...
