Looking for Anodizing books




Q. I'm aero-modeling and I made my own model engines. I'm looking for some information about books and publications on colour anodising for starting to make little items for my amateur engines.

"Artists Anodizing Aluminum:
The Sulfuric Acid Process"

by David LaPlantz

A. Hi, Alberto. Robert Probert's "Aluminum How-To" is a good and readable book on the subject. I haven't personally read Artists Anodizing Aluminum: the Sulfuric Acid Process [on Amazon affil links], but it sounds like it may be useful.

The most thorough book on anodizing is "The Surface Finishing and Treatment of Aluminum and its Alloys", by Wernick, Pinner & Sheasby -- but it's probably both a little deep and a little too expensive for introductory needs. Good luck.
