Re: Doing some experiments and need some alloy samples
I'm doing great guys. I picked up 2024, 5058, 6061, and 7075. I've already started on my experiments, and will show results maybe tomorrow.
One thing I was able to demonstrate (in a photo) is the color of the smut, and how easy or difficult it is to wipe with a rag for each alloy. It should be possible to determine alloys in this way.
I've also run each sample, individually at 6 amps per sq. ft., in a 70F 1:3 battery acid/water solution, carefully taking note of the volts every 5 minutes. I want to graph out my volts curve at the parameters I typically use. I'll use this data for other experiments coming up. I've run the parts for 1-1/2 hrs., and dyed them black. I typically need to run for 2 hrs at that CD to get a nice deep black. I want to compare the alloys side-by-side for color absorbsion.
More to come later...
