Nope, the current should have been whatever you set it at. make sure you had it in constant current mode (the rectifier) if so then you lost connection. A threaded connection works pretty good, and a spring type connection that the tips of the wire will engrave the piece to be anodized, that's what kind of force we are talking when having a good connection, even then it can fail. The sput welder is a sure thing, but threaded and spring tension also works.
