Default Re: Anodizing Aluminum Castings?

My part was prepared by stripping off the paint with lacquer thinner, etching with sodium hydroxide, de-smut with caswell de-smut, and ano to .5mil.
You say your amps drop... do you mean the volts drop? The amps need to stay constant, and the volts will do whatever they need to maintan those amps as the coating grows.
