Alodine is a conversion process. The alodine doesn't remain on the aluminum.
All that is left is an aluminum chromate layer which IS conductive. It converts the surface of the aluminum. It doesn't coat it at all.

I am extremely familiar with Alodine. Almost all of the Alodine and or Iridite I have use is NON-CONDUCTIVE Class 1A. IF one wants a conductive Alodine, they need to make sure that it is Class 3 so that it will conduct some electricity.
For the average homebuilder, it is better to stay away from Alodine when you want an electrical connection on aluminum. Most homebuilders will not know about Class 1A and Class 3. Alodine 1001 is Class 3 and conductive. Alodine 1201 is Class 1A and non-conductive.
