Caswell Titanium & Niobium Anodizing Kit

Titanium, Niobium and Other Reactive Metals Anodizing System Titanium and Niobium can be anodized to create a myriad of colors, rainbow effects and other creative colored patterns simply and easily with our kit. The metal is cleaned with the included degreaser, rinsed in water, then placed into the drain safe and non hazardous anodizing solution. A stainless steel cathode is used and attached to the negative terminal of the high voltage power supply. The part being anodized is attached to the positive terminal. By varying the DC voltage between 20 and 120 volts, using the supplied masking tape to mask off certain areas on the part and slowly removing and re-inserting the part into the bath, an unlimited amount of colors and patterns can be achieved. Also, with the included pen wands, spot anodizing can be done to allow you to hand draw patterns onto these metals. NOTE: This kit will only work on Titanium, Niobium, Tantalum and other Reactive Metals. It will not anodize aluminum, stainless or other metals.
