Titanium Anodizing

[theslippyslug]

Yes! You can remove the layer or depending on the colour you can continue up the voltage to change what you already have :)

Thanks for the info! So, I assume that an anodized ti piece can be 'repaired'? For instance, I have a Ti Atwood Keyton that's described as Rose Gold. It has seen much keychain use and the ano has scratched off on the tip from use and has been worn on some edges from rubbing on keys. Would it be possible to restore it?

Well, if you did nothing to the surface and threw it straight in you would see colour start to appear on scratches and scuffs as you increase voltage and that colour would progress through the spectrum. However! I think once you start reach the voltage for rose gold the old colour would start to go past gold and into pinks... I don't think you would get a uniform colour without uniform surface prep

your best bet is to leave it and let it wear in or go for something completely different

Now that is a nice looking light! :D

Is it possible to add some sort of a protective layer to the item after the Anodizing?

Very nice work! Would you work on Aluminium as well?

 

[theslippyslug]

Thanks
I don't have the kit to do aluminium. I just do Ti :)

This is awesome.. Did you do the bead blasting too?

 

[BenChiew]

Are you still doing annodizing?

 

[theslippyslug]

Yeah I'm still going :)

Real Nice! How I wish I have that here in my country or know how to do it myself. :)

I've been anodizing aluminum for sometime but never had a need to venture into the titanium anodizing but after seeing some of these I'll need to find a reason.

I really like this pair !! (they are mine :devil:)

these look excellent! great work!
what are you using to prevent oily finger prints on the titanium when customers handle them?

On knurled lights no problem. On smoother items (pens, etc) I haven't had an issue.

Does anodizing (whether by heat, splash or electric) the threads on a light affect the lights performance or reliability? And another question: can nail polish be used, like in acid etching, to make different patterns on the light?
