Default Re: what went wrong?

Dewil,

No the part will only draw the amps it needs! If your charger puts out a max of lets say 6 amps the part may only draw 2 or 3 amps as it anodizes. If will not go and draw the full 6 amps the charger can do. This is more or less the old method of anodizing before Caswell starting only doing tech support on the LCD method.
Yup temps are very importand. If your anodizing tank is 10 degrees colder than what it should be you will see a very large drop in the amount of amps it draws. The lower the amps the longer it will take to anodize to the same given layer thickness.

LAter,
Tim
