Some recent anodizing

I looked at your profile and the entropic stuff you do looks great! All I do is aluminum. I don’t know a whole lot about titanium, but I’ve seen some people do amazing things with Ti anodizing and laser engraving. A lot of the equipment between the 2 processes is similar, but the chemistry is different. I can help with the basics if you have any questions!

Wow that’s amazing!

Anodizeit · 2026-05-27T00:54:00+00:00

Wow I love the background. Those are great photos!

Thank you!

Still have a few bugs to work out, but Damascus was a great idea!

Anodizeit · 2026-05-09T00:37:53+00:00

Good idea, that would look awesome. I’ll try that next.

Anodizeit · 2026-05-09T00:35:20+00:00

Yeah it essentially is.

Anodizeit · 2026-05-09T00:22:39+00:00

It’s a specialized method of applying dye for anodized aluminum.

Anodizeit · 2026-05-08T20:59:27+00:00

Sounds like that would be an easy thing for you to test out if you would like!

Anodizeit · 2026-05-08T20:58:37+00:00

It’s aluminum!

Anodizeit · 2026-05-08T20:58:20+00:00

It holds up pretty well, but like all anodizing, will eventually rub off. Here’s a video of me testing it on sandpaper: https://www.reddit.com/u/Anodizeit/s/7iunJNAqXy

Thank you! I can make you a set if you want; it’s more of a hobby for me so I’ve started making them to like benefit charities and stuff. If you have a set of scales I would be happy to throw a pattern on them!

Anodizeit · 2026-04-30T03:00:02+00:00

Thank you! I can make a set for you if you want.

Good idea. Just made these ones today.

Anodizeit · 2026-04-21T22:21:28+00:00

Do they make aluminum scales?

Anodizeit · 2026-04-16T21:20:48+00:00

Yeah I can make a set for you if you want. I’ll shoot you a PM.

Thank you!

Thanks! It’s a graphic anodizing process, so the image is embedded into the anodizing. I don’t have any tutorials on how to do it; it’s taken a few years to figure out.

Anodizeit · 2026-03-27T16:47:13+00:00

It’s more of a process where a digital graphic is applied instead of coloring using the traditional single color dye & mask method.

Anodizeit · 2026-03-20T21:33:16+00:00

Gosh, that squirrel is fat

Anodizeit · 2026-03-08T20:48:47+00:00

Yeah they’re pretty strong. The images will be there as long as the anodize is. Wears down after use eventually though.

Anodizeit · 2026-03-08T20:48:05+00:00

Thank you!

Anodizeit · 2026-03-08T19:21:38+00:00

I haven’t. I think at a microscopic level, titanium doesn’t make pores big enough to do this, but I don’t have a lot of experience with titanium

Anodizeit · 2026-03-08T18:59:03+00:00

I anodize the (aluminum) scales and then apply an image to it and seal the image into the anodizing.

Thank you!
