Homemade heat anodizing?

[ebidis]

Anybody have any examples of a homemade ti heat anodizing job? I've heard you can do it on the stove top. Anybody tried this?

How about ghetto anodizing?
Diet Coke, alligator clips, aluminum foil, and 9v batteries:thumbup:

If this kid can do it, I'm sure you can...

Add some nail polish, adjust the battery amount, and you can do some pretty cool stuff.

That's a great idea David!

It's super easy, and demonstrates many aspects of science in such a simple way. Oxidation, conductivity, ionization, and it's a great application of a DC power source too!

I'm thinking about stringing a Ti Widgy in my Weber Gold grille just to see what happens. With all 4 burners set on high it reaches a tad under 700 degrees. I don't have the bagalls to put any knife parts in there though

I've used a campfire to heat color a titanium key holder before and it came out a nice bronze color. The problem is that it's hard to control the color you actually want if you can't actually move the heat source around. IMO, the easiest way to heat color is to use a small propane torch. This way you can immediately see the color that you get and can move the flame off before it changes to the next color.
