| We have several colors that titanium can be anodized There is no true red or black, and purple is sensitive to fingerprints or oils. The process is voltage dependent and is totally different from aluminum. Titanium color is produced by light refraction and interference of wavelengths. It's impossible for me to exact match other colored titanium or anodized aluminum |

| Notes on Coloring |
| Some colors may have different problems or issues. Below I have posted potential issues with the color |
| Purple Titanium |
| Blue Titanium |
| Yellow Titanium |
| Gold Titanium |
| Pink Titanium |
| Green Titanium |
| Purple is a stable color but will have a smearing effect with any oils and must be totally clean to be true purple. |
| Blue is the most stable color and is easiest to achieve. |
| Yellow is a stable color. It can tend to have a faded effect in some conditions. |
| Gold is a touch deeper than yellow. It starts to get into the pink spectrum and is a bit more orange. |
| Pink needs a much higher voltage to produce. Looks good and is stable. |
| Green is also very high voltage to produce . The effect is more of a yellow-green. |
| Returns of Anodized Titanium |
| Unforturnatly I cannot return colored titanium unless there is an actual problem with the part. Once the part is colored I cannot reverse it. Please make sure your item is the correct for your application. I offer coloring as a customer service and do my best but also can't return for shading problems. |
| I will no longer offer green in titanium. |

| Titanium Anodizing |
| Anodized titanium is used in a recent generation of dental implants. An anodized oxide layer has a thickness in the range of 500 to 1000 angstroms, much thicker than that for a naturally formed oxide layer, which has a range of 50 to 250 angstroms.[citation needed] Titanium anodic films cannot be made thicker than about 300nm, and are therefore susceptible to mechanical damage.[9] Standards for titanium anodizing are given by AMS 2487 and AMS 2488. Anodizing titanium generates an array of different colors without dyes, for which it is sometimes used in art, costume jewelry, body piercing jewellery and wedding rings. The color formed is dependent on the thickness of the oxide (which is determined by the anodising voltage); it is caused by the interference of light reflecting off the oxide surface with light traveling through it and reflecting off the underlying metal surface. Titanium nitride coatings can also be formed, which have a brown or golden color and have the same wear and corrosion benefits as anodization. |
| Titanium Anodizing is one of the more environmentally-friendly metal finishing processes. With the exception of organic (aka integral color) anodizing, the by-products do not contain heavy metals, halogens or volatiles. The most common anodizing effluents, aluminium hydroxide and aluminium sulfate, are recycled for the manufacturing of alum, baking powder, cosmetics, newsprint and fertilizer or used by industrial wastewater treatment systems |
| How to anodize Titanium - taken from ehow Step 1 Create an appropriate solution that will conduct electricity. Common electrolytes for anodizing titanium include ammonium phosphate, Borax and trisodium phosphate. The precise electrolyte that you use is not important, so long as it's not a chloride, nitrate or sulphate. These compounds produce dangerous vapors and acids when subjected to electricity. A typical concentration of an electrolytic solution is about 5 grams of electrolyte per liter of distilled water. Fill a tank made of a nonconducting material with enough solution to cover the titanium workpiece. Step 2 Use an anodizer that can deliver accurate, steady voltage in the 25- to 120-volt range since this will determine the color of the anodized titanium. An anodizer essentially consists of a battery, voltage regulator and power switch along with a few other components. Step 3 Connect the electrode from the negative terminal of the battery to a piece of nonrusting metal with a pair of alligator clips. Immerse the metal piece in the electrolytic solution so that the immersed surface area of the metal piece is greater than that of the titanium workpiece . Step 4 Connect the electrode from the battery's positive terminal to the titanium workpiece with titanium alligator clips. The piece must be free of oils and other contaminants. All parts of the positively charged circuit that are in contact with the electrolytic solution must be made of titanium. Place the titanium workpiece in the anodizing tank. Step 5 Adjust the voltage knob on the anodizer to the desired setting and turn the anodizer on. The time required to complete the process will depend on the current and the size of the workpiece. A bronze color occurs at about 18 volts, pale blue requires about 50 volts and a bright green requires about 110 volts. |
