Aluminum and Titanium Anodization

Prerequisite: Chemistry Safety Class, Basic Laboratory Procedures

• Electrochemical oxidation of aluminum yields a layer of oxide on the surface that can accept dye. The oxide coating can then be chemically sealed to yield a robust colored surface.
• Class available on request. Will be demonstrated using a small aluminum name tag as well as titanium wire.
