Anodizing setup for student lab




I intend to set up a laboratory scale anodising tank for use in student laboratory classes (± 50 liters capacity).

Is anyone aware of an article that describes such a set-up as opposed to a production one?

There is a book that has been published entitled Artists Anodizing Aluminum: the Sulfuric Acid Process [on Amazon affil links].

This book is geared toward a setup of a small anodizing line and was designed for artists anodizing jewelry. This is a well done book and I think it will be exactly what you are seeking.
