Put your own numbers in the blue and yellow fields.

HTML version that doesn't open Excel but still requires it to run.

Thanks, Fixer.

I have a comment; the anodizing time you calculate is for a 1 mil coating thickness using the 720 rule. The majority of applications will want a coating about half that value. You should at least state the time is for 1 mil or better yet, allow the desired thickness to be entered.

Good point Fibergeek, and thanks for the constructive criticism. I have added the option for desired thickness. As I am new to this particular endeavor, making this calculator was really an exercise for me to learn some of the basic principals involved in anodizing. If everything looks o.k. with the spreadsheet, I will write it in java or make some sort of program that anyone can use who may not have Excel.

That looks good, Fixer. Let me know when you are ready and I'll sticky it.
