Newbie home anodizing

[andrewjb]

Hello again

sorry to bump this but i found this and i need to know weather this power supply will be OK for my jobs
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....MakeTrack=true
it says "Constant voltage/ Constant Current" but i just wanted to double check.

ive done some calculations and ive worked out that i can do around 800rings in one run at 5amps, 0.4 mil thick, current density 4.5
The rings being made of 0.064" wire and a Inner Diameter of 0.25"

and i think 800rings in 63min is fast enough for my likeing

Many thanks
Andrew

Andrewjb, are you in Australia?

[andrewjb]

yup Aussie here

Thanks sswee, ill See if i can fit a bid in on the last minute

[andrewjb]

Yippie! i won the auction at $117 AU
cant wait to get started

Because i cant get the de-oxidizer and de-Smut because its a ORM-D Product, Is there any type of substitute i could use?

also i was looking around the site a few min ago and i saw the Australian flag in the corner, out of curiosity i clicked on it and found out theres a Caswell Australia
was wondering if they stock any anodizeing supplies?

Thanks

Congrats, I would think they would but cannot honestly say one way or the other. The deox/desmut is an acid mixture that I am not familiar with a work around for. There is a alternative for the stripper if you do not have any luck with Caswell Australia.
