Anodizing 101

[snowman4839]

nice video guys

[zachatnca]

please make a video on how to anodize aluminum!!!!!

[koffeekage]

isnt a DC converter called a power supply?

[earth2willi]

Many power supplies take an AC input and output DC voltage, yes. I'm not certain if this process will work with a negative DC voltage (which might just mean the anode and cathode are effectively reversed), or if there is some reason that a positive voltage would be required. Perhaps someone who knows more can comment...

[elliotmotoX]

All metal cutting devices should ALWAYS have a guard.

[BAYAREA4150]

ima watch breast flexing instead

[Wantthosedaysback]

=D , i know . it could not be help .

[Agentoxedo07]

@Wantthosedaysback Holy-Terrorist:>*=* help?

xD

[girrrrrrr2]

@BAYAREA4150 i didnt know what you meant at first... now i do...

[balisongman07]

why the heck is that related?

[elliotmotoX]

could i use powerade as elctrolyte?

[girrrrrrr2]

@elliotmotoX BRAWNDO HAS ELECTROLYTES!!! IT HAS WHAT PLANTS CRAVE!!! PLANTS CRAVE BRAWNDO!!!!

but to answer your question. no you cant, they may both be called electrolytes but they are different

[elliotmotoX]

Electrolyte is just salt isn't it.

Plants like water... from the toilet

[girrrrrrr2]

@elliotmotoX electrolytes can be salt but the dictionary defination is "Electrically conducting liquid (wet) or paste (dry)" so they can be most things also wikipedia had this to add "an electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that make the substance electrically conductive."

[coisadoce]

Thanks Guys! Just what i was looking for.

[dopplereffekten]

Nice vid : ) But something that made me annoyed was at 0:35-0:38-ish you show a sketch of aluminium that have been anodized and have turned red (or accepted red dye?). As you show the white light hitting the red surface it reflects radiation of the red wavelength... isnt that wrong? What should be reflected should be the complementary color and not the wavelenght absorbed by the dye? Am I wrong?

[krisppy022]

no i think you have it backwards i think that the color it reflects is the color you see and the color it absorbs is the stuff you dont see i could be wrong i dont no

[dopplereffekten]

Yeah sorry, my misstake! I blame it on late hours. ( ;

[9lk00583]

so you can put like steel in dye and do this process and it would be colored?

[sykop8ntballer]

Nope, just Aluminum and Titanium.

[blendthis]

and many other passivating materials

[realar]

dude its andrew hey man!

thanks for the contribution.

[drewthegun]

Nice bike, who's the tool?

[marek0086]

these guys are such tools!

[earth2willi]

That's kind of the idea behind the style of this video presentation... ;)

[th55]

How do i paint the barrel of my gun? It is aluminum

[MariahGem]

Woo hoo!! Freeze frame on the high five! Great job guys! Very Mr. Wizzard!

Hope to see you guys next term!

[lukedesira]

rather geekish!

[ELJIMADOR16]

Very informitive, thank you for the lesson.

[earth2willi]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[thibaultdury]

lol is it possible to "anodize" my exhaust ?

good job btw ^^

[earth2willi]

Your exhaust probably isn't made of Titanium or any other metal that this process would work with. Aluminum can be anodized but the process is different.

[silentsniper441]

@thibaultdury if it is titanium it should anodize itself over time i think dont quote me

[MrBrythonic]

WOW! MAN...COOL!!

Extreme Brain-Food.

What's the white powdery substance that forms on T.V. Antennas agin? i recall it has an industrial use?

We should hang & play music?; Portlander.

I'm sure I'd lrn alot...Damm!

[drewthegun]

Super great job Will.

[earth2willi]

Thanks buddy! Your anodizing powers are amazing!! ;-D
