Coloring titanium

[hottuna]

If you are bored at your shining titanium turnbuckles, you could color them easily at home

It's all about voltage. The cheapest way is to color them gold. All you need is 12V DC, like all we have to drive the chargers. Apart of that you need baking soda and water

Look at my video and you will see how easy it is, even if you don't understand the language

That looks great and fast too. What is the metal used as the cathode ?

[franz]

Very, very impressive !!!

Do you think it could also work with steel ?

I would use lead for the cathode as for doing other metals. anodising is what you are doing here so aluminum can also be done however it must be done in sulphuric acid and you have to use a dye aswell to get the colour

titanium is differnt as the colour is dependent on voltage

I used a piece of brass as cathode just because I had it lying around, and it had a hole so I could tighten the cable. Other materials maybe works better.
