Anodizing of aluminum parts is not a flow process, it is creativity. When the task is to coat one or ten parts, even if it is a batch, there are always many variables. Related to the fact that the surface area is difficult to calculate (if there is no 3D model, and the surface is complex), solutions change their concentration over time, the temperature of the solutions also depends on the conditions. All this makes the process as creative and fickle as possible. We have a chance to achieve an amazing result, but not the first time, or we may get lucky and we will accurately select the current, anodizing time for a specific concentration of electrolyte and we will be lucky in many ways. What is happening in the video!? I was personally not satisfied with the result. Reasons: 1. For the color anodizing process, it is important to stock up on two containers of sufficient size for heating the dye and boiling the part after painting. You can do with one container with dye and do the coloring and boiling directly in the dye solution. To do this, you will have to find out exactly what the dye density should be so as not to overdo it with the color intensity (transparency is lost and the metal loses its shine). 2. Reduce the current. I used the maximum current values for the calculated surface area and laid 5% for the edges and complex texture. This is a lot. You could use a lower low current, say 1.7A per Dc2 = total 3 * 1.7 = 5.1, you can round it up to 5A. You can try 4.5A. This will permissibly reduce the rate of formation of the oxide film, which will affect its density, and the dye will penetrate into its structure less actively, which will give additional time to decide on the desired color intensity. #ipsc #ipsc_russia #actionair #fpsr #gbb #practicalshooting #handgun #airsoft #ipscrussia #hicapa #tokyomarui #strikeball #guncleaning #hicapaclub
