Uniformly anodizing titanium

2002

I am anodizing titanium plates and wires in a TSP [trisodium phosphate [affil link]]/water solution and am having trouble achieving uniform coloring over the whole area (~ 4" x 4") of the plates. What can be done in the cleaning phase or maybe during anodizing to guarantee uniformity in color?

Maybe anodizing time is high, the anodizing time is about 1 minute and lower, I have same problem.
