Another way to create an anodized surface color on titanium is with a kiln
Back to heat in a minute…. Last month, my friend and I were looking forward to some serious electrolytic anodization of titanium.
We had found her husband’s linear voltage power supply the previous day and had all the necessary supplies gathered up.
Turns out the power supply didn’t provide the juice we needed.
Oh, well. We had a nice pasta lunch with fresh tomatoes and mushrooms, roasted garlic and red pepper flake sauce.
We regrouped and decided to torch anodize with a propane torch. When we wanted a hotter larger flame, we switched to a MAPP gas torch.
One thing we still want to try in the future is painted anodization using with a setup like Edith Sommer’s below
