Dipping Process Instantly Transforms Metal Jewelry

- Anodizing is an electrochemical process some jewelers use to change the color of metals such as titanium, aluminum, and niobium. Dipping a reactive metal into a “bath” mixture of low-sudsing detergent attached to an anodizing power supply instantly changes the colors of metals. Chainmaille artists prefer to use titanium for their work because the soft metal bends more easily than niobium, and a wide range of colors can be achieved by anodizing. Tiktokkers Steampunk Garage and Sonusthemailler shared their anodizing process with and explained why no two pieces of anodized metal will be the exact same shade.

Dipping Process Instantly Transforms Metal Jewelry - Jak na to + styl
Don't get the jewelry hot or it turns back to a silver hue. I have rainbow titanium cookware. Its fine for Cutler but it's really just dishonest to sell a rainbow stock pot.
😂 Damn, good to know. That does feel like quite the scam...
I once purchased an aluminum gas cap which was anodized black for my motorcycle. The sun baked the color completely out of it in less than one season of riding.
I have a septum piercing like this and at first i tought maybe the paint went off where its in my skin but this could make sence too
@James Sure Notice how over 50 people gave OP's comment a like, but you've got zero likes on your reply? That's because we're all entitled to our own opinions, but your's is quite unpopular 😂😂😂 Have a great day bro.
If it's actually solid titanium and not some coating it would need a pretty high temperature to change colour, much higher than a stove would reach.

So here's the issue, all of those seen in this video are made from a Titanium alloy. Aluminum doesn't change colors like that when anodized but needs dye and a sealer to make the color change like we saw on the old ipods. Titanium is really expensive and most people don't wear it for jewelry. However the process to anodized Titanium is accurate in this video.
Agreed and its also a very old technique
Soka
many wear titanium over gold especially women wtf
Steel does change colors like that as well though (I'm not sure if it does using this process) but it definitely can be done
@@birisuandrei1551 I think steel uses a different liquid but not 100%
Very pretty and interesting to watch the process.
Wow, I’m so glad you’ve shown how this process works, I’ve scene this process on many products in stores. But too see this physical process via visual is truly magical!!!
Yep... Chemistry can be a tool of art, as well.
The color changes back too easy tho
Not really? Anodizing is as permanent a finish as any
Maybe on cheaply anodized aluminum (that actually uses dye which can fade) but it's generally one of the strongest finishes out there.
This is my favorite thing EVER!! I have jewelry, chopsticks, silverware, smoker, a few straws...and I’m thinking about getting a set of mixing bowls next! It’s so beautiful. I wish I could dip a car in it lol
Had to watch it 3times...Then read the subtitles... So flipping cool. .!i!
They've been doing this for over a decade for titanium dabbers
Very very beautiful and amazing 😍😍😍😍😍 thank you for sharing 💯💝💝💝 keep it up 💯❤️❤️
Reminds me of oxidisation on steel and titanium.. mostly titanium which goes a beautiful blue/purple at a certain temperature.
nothing is nicer than a fine blue titanium handle knife
oohhhh that is so pretty!!
I could imagine it being a class science project
*dips all the metallic things in the house in this chemical*
Not the metallic things in the kitchen
The only 2 metals you can truly anodize are Aluminum and Titanium.
Plus it's not just a chemical reactions, it's an electrochemical reaction. You need to pass a certain amount of current through the metal in order to anodize it.
The higher the current, the thicker the oxide layer, which determines the color. Just putting Aluminum in that solution would do nothing.
@@Leatherman154 in addition, the process shown, achieving colour change, only applies to titanium. Aluminium can be anodized using the same principle but only the anodic aluminium oxide film will be produced. Achieving colour change on aluminium requires special dyes and further processing.
Is it just me that thinks that this effect makes any jewelry look very cheap?
@Thoisoi2 does this seem similar to the results you came up with? I felt like you had tried this process and it wasn't as vibrant.
That's so beautiful I'm gonna cry
Lol
This is fascinating n neat💯
Can i use that process for brass products or alluminium products?
The ad I had to watch to get to this video rickrolled me -_- it was worth it though
My titanium exhaust tips does this with the heat the car puts out.
Yeah its all related to how much titanium corrodes. If ya do this with steel you will get a similar result. Also this can be done with heat. Blue is really hot compared to brown or lightbrown. Same with both titanium and steel (iron as well).
Que metal es? Acero inoxidable o titanio?
I Never though it's possible to do,the electrolysis of these metals is very cool.
Does it work for pewter?
Very pretty😃
What device did you use
N1CE . . . 😎🚀
Nice 💖
Love those colors.
Is it possible to do with Silver?
Это титан если кому интересно, его оксидная пленка от толщины меняет цвет, а точнее преломляет свет
Где купить такую штуку
how make like that , do you have tutorial
Where can I buy this.
Привет какой раствор вы используете?
Bike exaust looks good by this
Does it turn the metal outside as an alloy
No, because if they outside was turned into an alloy, it would not change back to its original color once heated or exposed to other light sources. I base this statement on what other commenters have posted in the main thread.
I legitimately thought they did this by heating up the metal or using cheap metal 💀 because when I'd put a lid on my candle, the metal would appear rainbow ish like oil on water
There’s different ways to get different metals to get a coloured/rainbow finish. Steel changes colour with heat, whereas aluminium changes with anodisation, and others with reactions to different chemical compounds. It’s pretty cool :)
I don't think it can strengthen the metal, it's just an extremely thin film on the surface.
It won't strengthen the metal so much as just help it be more scratch and corrosion resistant, since the top layer created by the anodization is harder than the metal underneath.
You can anodize steel by heating it
Wow, that’s interesting and beautiful
Going to do this to my Cybertruck
I use anodized metal for my jewelry
The pride earrings
nice
Cool
*0:22** It should be ALKALINE bath, NOT acidic bath.* TSP trisodium phosphate is used in the bath (0:43), which is a strong base~
Interesting...
Alchemy!
Is this titanium anodizing?
I can imagine a future where this is how tvs are made instead of screens
Like aquatic
Television?
Eh? You can't really mean televisions...if so maybe look into the process a little more.
It wouldn't work. The color changes back if it gets too hot.
How would you display something using this? It might work but it's ridiculous, would be terrible (if it even is possible in the first place). Or perhaps you meant something else, b/c I can't think of any other correlation to TV other than some people might think the color changing effect could be implemented on TV? No...
anyone else notice that these are pride flag earrings at 0:35 ?
On AliExpress the Chinese are taking ‘titanium’ metals and doing fancy anodising on them and charging an absolute fortune for them.
Drip needs dripping to be made
Is this process similar to the Spectrachrome process ?
Nope, with titanium it's a thin layer of oxides from an electro chemical reaction, nothing is painted
This is called anodizing and it's nothing new.
It looks like COD wepon skin.
WHAT IS THIS TRACK?
Qual é o produto que coloca na água para ferver? Acho que é isso que está fazendo, poderia traduzir em "português?"
It's just bicarbonate soda and water with a dc current running through it. This process only works with titanium.
Só entendi que é bicarbonato, acho que é isso mesmo
Ok that’s sooo cool except I can’t wear metal or it breaks me out :(
wdym
wear 24k gold. i have the same problem. only metal im not allergic 5o is gold.
@@2fifty533 They have a metal allergy. It's pretty common to be allergic to nickel. Cobalt, copper and chromium allergies are also fairly common.
Titanium is hypoallergenic though, they use it for medical implants
@@cho03 is titanium expensive? i mean compared to gold how expensive it is ? i actually have no idea
Just a very thin oxide layer.
I thought this needed dyes
oMgggoossshhh.. Ty ty ty! This can be ENDLESS possibilities.
Even medieval armours were treated to reach certain colors.
What kind of metal is it?
Titanium (corrected 😉) if you look here on CZcams for "anodizing Titanium" you can find many videos ranging from explaining what's happening to do it yourself at home
Titanium in the video. But you can also anodize aluminum.
Aluminum is a bit easier to anodize then Titanium, as it requires less voltage.
@@Leatherman154 sorry my mistake in Germany we say Titan but of course i mean Titanium 😄 . And yes you can anodize aluminium but it is not changing it's color's but can add colors to that aluminiumoxid by dipping it in coloring solution's.
A woman in northern California has been doing this process at least 35yrs on her jewelry line Hollie Yoshi in Ferndale .
The process is nothing new. Anodizing of titan has been done for at least 40 years and for jewelry too.
Oh yeah, I remember seeing it on CZcams back then, 35 years ago ☝🏻
This is one way of curving metal.
Knife scales???!!!!???
Seems like this would make an adorable fridge 🥰
In reality though it only looks good for a short time.
why?
isn't anodizing cheap?
@@oannamphuong6373 why? Science that's why. You would be a fool to buy something looking like that expecting it to stay that way.
😍
Anodazing only work with titanium
Is this how they make rose gold?
Or is does it contain copper?
Rose gold is an alloy with copper 👍
are they safe for the skin though?
Yes!
Titanium is hypoallergenic.
Not all anodize metal is Titanium though. You can also anodize aluminum, which is well known to irritate skin, so make sure you asked what type of anodize metal it is before you by anything.
A simple test if you're unsure is try to scratch it. If it scratches very easily, like with a fingernail it's aluminum.
my skin became irritated just looking at this lol!
I'm not a skin expert but I'm pretty sure titanium is hypoallergenic
@@cho03 was your statement supposed to discount my feelings 😂😂😂
You go iy
TSP that’s in some name brand foods. Will I get banned for saying that against the corporations that run government?
pretty much making fake bismuth
But... it CANT be restored cuz it would seem impossible to replicate the exact same result, right?
Different voltages produce different colours, just depends on how accurate the power supply is, but you could definitely get the same colours again.
@@cho03 ah ok, they made it sound like replication would be rather difficult.
Some how's they are getting the entire heat oxidation spectrum without the heat.
Will this work on stainless steel??
Not really.
What's happening here is an oxide layer is being formed on the outside of the metal. The thicker the layer, the different the color.
Stainless steel by definition does not oxidize.
Edit: Unless you heat the stainless quite hot.
The only 2 metals you can truly anodize are Aluminum and Titanium.
This is how Titanium and Niobium are anodized but aluminum has to be dyed and sealed to have a color.
💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
😍😍😍😍😍😍
oldest technology in the world.
Guess why exist myth about "metal to gold"
It's not the chemical, it's the heat from the electricity. Steel changes colour when it reaches certain temperatures, you can get a similar result with a burner, but it's not as easy to controll the temperature and hard to get an even colour
Sorry. That's not what's happening here.
Whilst titanium can heat colour, this isn't the process in the video. Different voltages are used for different colours with electro anodising
Watching the balls change was the best feeling 🤓
It's not safe to touch the electrified water, they should be wearing gloves.
😃❤️
Hallo
This colorful effect makes everything in the video look cheap imo
That is like an awesome toy
The easiest way to get the full blue gem stattrack jewerly
Insider really just found out about anodizing 😂 Jesus Christ
This does work but it wears off as u wear it
Idk why but the first thing that popped into my mind is that "IT MAKES JULARY GAY". lol
It's soap in bath?
I thought anodized was pretty tough and scratch resistant
For Aluminum I'm pretty sure it is, since aluminium oxide is actually tougher than the metal itself, might be different for other metals, also heating might reverse the reaction.
On titanium, unless sealed. Is not very durable. Source... I anodize titanium quite often
@@marysue9661 Is this video showing anodized process?
@@GabrielBerti It is, it is basically dipping metal in a watery oxidizing acidic solution while applying a current. As a result, the outside of the metal oxidizes pretty evenly, very small differences in the thickness of the anodized layer result in the different colours.
@@marysue9661 Thanks!
The company that I work for needs to paint a lot of stuff for the machines that we make. We need to paint iron (or steel) and some aluminum, but the pieces are quite larger than jewelry. Do you think this process showed in the video works for my case? Thanks
looks like jewelry that would turn you skin green after while
what lq is thsis
I ionized my wife... Haven't seen her since... Oh wait... You said ANodized... Nevermind.
