r/Anodization

Hi!

Apologies in advance for missing flair- there was no option to add one? I've made posts in other groups with flair but maybe it's placed another place in here? Please help and I'll be happy to edit. :)

I realize most people in here probably anodize other stuff than jewelry. But I really want to learn to anodize as I love jewelry in rose gold and it's difficult to find in implant grade (astm f136) Titanium.

I've heard that anodizing chains specifically can be really tricky. Is there a good solution to get a good result every time that anyone can share?

An inspo pic attached of type of jewelry I want to anodize.

Thanks in advance 😊

I’m working on getting a custom set of scales for my recent Shamarati? (I guess) and was curious if anyone has managed to get a solid color anodizing on scales that are dlc coated titanium. Obviously the dlc has been sanded down to reveal the pattern for anodizing. Pic is just of my recent Spyderco obsession.

New pivot, thumb studs, and overtravel stop from @patriot_knifemods. New backspacer from @fastlt1nos.
I polished the flats of the frag to 1500 grit on the scales and backspacer. Anodized to 28v. Sanded the grooves in the scales and polished them to match the blade and silver screws.

The polished layers aren't turning out bright during the plating process; at high voltage levels, they are barely visible. Could you offer some advice? I’ve tried repeatedly but haven't been able to achieve the desired result—I really love the look of high-voltage plating with a glossy finish.

Hello I have had very poor results recently. My parts are coming out burnt and unable to accept dye. I followed the 720 rule and for my 10 square inches of surface area I ran at around .43 amps yet my voltage is incredibly low and my parts remain conductive. Not sure if a different cathode would help here I am using aluminum wire.

I’ve got this hub I want to strip and re anodise silver (they only come in black). Internet says I need to use oven cleaner but all of the brands are American so not applicable where I am. Is there an ingredient that in them that I am look for to make sure it works? Otherwise any tips for removing and refinishing?
