Tiodize has what they call Type I (.0001-.0003 penetration of anodic coating) in caustic electrolyte Type II (same as I but removing soft build up layer using u/s or abrasion) Type III (colored and in an acid bath). I would assume phosphoric or sulfuric. Type IV Same as type II with PTFE (teflon) impregnated in it. The type three is what I assume would be similar to a standard spec of Titanium Anodize type II per ASM2488 but I do not have a copy of that spec. Can someone verify if I am understanding the confusion properly here? Thanks Steve Steve Anzelc PE 2007-04-30T19:58:20Z http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post674.html#p674 1) Does anyone know of a finisher in Asia that does Type II Anodizing of titanium, preferably in Japan 2) When I look at info on type III and type II anodizing of titanium, it appears to be exactly the same. Is there a true difference? 3) Someone asked me about type 1 anodizing of titanium (not aluminum). I am not familiar with this and not even sure it exists for titanium. I have only seen type 2 (and what they call type III) for the medical industry for titanium. Steve Anzelc PE 2007-04-30T18:12:10Z http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post671.html#p671
