Default Anodize Pits on 2024 Aluminum

@w3g2000hsg.googlegroups.com:

Somehow when we anodize 2024 aluminum using titanium racks, we almost
always experience some pitting problem. Why?

Thank you.



Some possible causes:
Impurities in the material
Too high of a current.
Insufficient flow.
Bad distribution of alloying materials in the aluminum.
Unclean surfaces would normally result in non-anodized areas, but
depending on the contamination material, it's possibly a cause.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
