In electroplating no voodoo at all.

In electroplating, the connection improves as the process continues, not so in anodizing.

The very same unit does an admirable job of welding copper alloys to copper alloys, or steel alloys to steel alloys, I've done it, very easy to do. It will also weld titanium to aluminum. I can't imagine why anyone would want to do that, but you tell me.

Most welding of metals to like metals will work fine as it stands. The voltage settings will be different but within the CDW's range. The CDW does have utility in electroplating, it's just not the problem it was born to solve (I'm it's mother, I would know).

If you want to inquire in detail about a specific non-anodizing application, contact Mike or Lance Caswell, and they will put you in touch with me. Tell them I said so.

I will try your specific metals (if I haven't already) and report back to you.
