“Used as knife or fork”
As you may see, we have many different colors for the titanium chopsticks, it is very magic and is also one of the advantages of titanium. The process is as following:
Anodizing Titanium is easy. All you need is a 3 to 110 volt DC power supply (I usually work in the 30 to 60 volt range), some salt water (I use ammonium sulphate) and a brush with a plastic handle and a metal ferrule retaining the bristles. By varying the voltage and/or repeatedly going over the same section a wide variety of colors can be had. If you try to do the whole tube in one bath you’ll need a good deal of current (10 amps per square foot). A brush worth at a time can be done with D cells.

A thick coating is more resilient than a thin one, but I find that thickness over 0.1um produce colors that are too muddy for my tastes.
Also, there’s no need for the DC supply to be well filtered. Unfiltered rectified AC will work. My “painting” unit uses a variac to feed a full wave rectifier and subsequently 2000 uF of capacitance. There’s a meg of resistance across the cap to bleed off residual charge when the power is off. Exactly why that’s there I’ll be keeping to myself.
