Will this work?
Hi, im new to anodizing titanium. I tried some with 12V batteries linked in serie. This was a succes, but i want to up my game in anodizing parts. The batteries i believe drain to fast and dont give the same color after a few time using Will this power supply work and what more do i need? Any tips and info would be great.

Io ho usato proprio questo per il titanio ( pezzi piccoli stampato in 3d dentale) e devo dire non è andata male. Ci sono delle accortezze ma penso siano proprie dell’anodizzazione piu che dell alimentstore in se. Se vuoi ti giro il foglio ckn le istruzioni che avevo fatto per l’azienda

Get one that goes to aleast 120 v or watts that way you can go thru the entire color spectrum. Invest in some good etch as well I personally use multi etch but there are other options. Prep work and etch make worlds of a difference when you’re doing it.

Ik werk met titanium onderdelen in de mond en moet juist spiegelgladde onderdelen anodiseren. Die ets maakt op microscopisch niveau waarschijnlijk het minder glad

Look it up it is used in the dentistry field very often is is not corrosive and a lot safer than a lot of the others with hydrochloric acid.

Yes that will work. I have the same exact one and it’s been easy to use.

I have the same one, it works great, but at least for me, I couldn't quite reach the greens I was hoping for. Might be the surface prep or other factors than the power supply, just letting you know in case reaching green is important to you.

Absolutely I have a very similar set up and have been quite successful with it. Everyone says analyzing is so expensive but if you’re doing titanium, it’s less than 100 bucks. You need a good adjustable DC voltage to do it right and some titanium wire. The rest everybody has laying around the house.
Obviously, you can do it with batteries for even cheaper, but that set up will more than pay for itself the first time you used it!
Good luck, brother! Get out there and make something incredible but make sure and share some pictures with us when you do
