"Ice" finish on titanium
This question is primarily for Mr. David Broadwell, but anyone feel free to answer. How do I get that nice "frosted" ice finish on titanium that I've seen?

Its probably tumbled then anodized at a low voltage. Just my guess..

Mottled gray perhaps? You should get that when heat colouring at around 900c. If it's not that I really don't know but if you find out be sure to let us know.

If I'm picturing what your talking about correctly....
I get two different effects...in two different ways... 1. Bead blasting, which gives what a lot of folks would call "Gray T#&d" color/look. 2. Finish the Ti with a wire wheel (wire brush wheel), which gives the Ti an "orange peel" effect. 3. A combination of both 1 & 2, Finish the Ti on a wire wheel, then bead blast....to me that develops the closest to what I would call "frosted". __________________ WWW.CAFFREYKNIVES.NET Caffreyknives@gmail.com "Every CHOICE has a CONSEQUENCE, and all your CONSEQUENCES are a result of your CHOICES." |
