Default Re: I just switched ti Ti racks, and had some surprising results

I just got my outfit going all the way as well, a 30 gallon igloo cooler, and a TE-5-MD-HC. It really moves the electrolyte, built a cart for my cooler, on caster so I can move it around. I want to tinker with the racking as well

I also noticed using the pump for agitation, the current ramp is constant, no matter if it's fast or slow, it may ramp fast then slow down, but no pauses. Using hand stir agitation is now for the birds, I should have got this going long ago.

Still working with cast, with agitation I notice much more even colors when dyed, I think using the agitation grows a more uniform anodize layer, but no way to prove that, I do know my finished work looks better with agitation.

I will check that link to the TI wire, the one thing I wished could be done is time, I know always something, if we could anodize a finished part in 30 mins it would really be a big step, but burning parts may be aproblem, and a power supply large enough to do this
