Those are pretty cool. you can also do the electro-anodizing using a conductive brush hooked up as the cathode and dipping it into the electrolite solution and using the voltage to choose the color. Then paint the colors on. You can even mask off areas if you want sharp borders between colors. Do them from highest voltage to lowest since going over an area that's been anodized with a higher voltage won't affect the color at all so going over the border won't matter. You can get an almost stained glass effect doing this.

There's a 99% chance I make myself some titanium chopsticks now lol. Thanks for the super interesting video! I've never heard a better explanation of how the oxide layer works!
The vibrance of the color increases exponentially as the surface finish improves. Taking the time to polish to a mirror-finish with a jewelers rouge or very fine grits + metal polish is worth it. I've had good results using a small buffing wheel on a Dremel tool. Most lathes don't spin fast enough to effectively hand-sand a small diameter part.
Cool project, though none of it would fit this channel, would be to make a gearbox to increase the speed, a planetary gearbox would probably be the best design for a lathe. The smaller bearings on the output would be better suited for higher speed, lower torque applications anyways. Basically, adapt the larger lathe to do the work a jeweler's lathe would; which would expand the amount of work you can do with a single lathe, when it would normally take two. Another set of cool projects, though more complex, but would add to the decorative bits of projects, would be adapting a standard lathe to a rose engine, straight line engine, geometric lathe, and other forms of jeweling. Which could work on both the original lathe, and the adaptation that makes it a jeweler's lathe; again, making one tool do the work of many, using removable attachments, which is money and space efficient.
Maybe neutral the headstock and chuck up a straight die grinder. Might have to modify the collet but you will get your 30,000 rpms. Just use flapper drums and a buffing wheel in a drill.
I never found those Dremel polishing wheels useful. They just don't seem to do anything but throw around whatever compound or paste you're polishing with.
If you want to use the heating method, putting it in some brass or other metal shavings can help distribute the heat and get very even colors... (looking at you, Clickspring, with your rendered-looking, perfectly uniformly heat-blued screws)
I have a pair of metal chop sticks which come apart into two pieces that you thread together, which makes them much more practical to carry around. So there's your next level challenge, adding thread cutting and tapping into the mix :)
I've done this with both titanium and niobium. Niobium, in my experience, produces more vivid colors than titanium. The anodizing process is supposed to also work with zirconium, hafnium, tantalum, and vanadium. I'll be giving it a try as soon as I can get proper samples of these metals.
Fire Hazard: Be very careful with the Ti shavings, these can be set on fire with a lighter and they BURN very hefty. Do not use water to put out a burning Titanium shavings, it will only make it rage even more.
@@jolioding_2253 or drench your workpiece with cutting fluid, it also preserve your cutting tools. "Drenching" is the right word, our CNC had two massive cutting fluid pumps, its output seemed like a fire hydrant.
@@AltMarc yea that also works well but if you have an old lathe there is most likely no cuting fluid pump so you have to drench your workpiece manually with cutting fluid to prevent fire or use wet sand in ase a fire breakes out
it get's even more interesting when you're casting it and a vacuum seal breaks:)It tends to explode, i had to scrub the whole machine of paper thin titanium splatter:)
Iamarobotbanana4 yeah, but if you sell them to people who are in love with counter strike and like foods that require chopsticks, damn you got a buisness
Do you sell them at all? I would love to buy a couple pairs for me and my fiancé. She's Chinese and we're going to move to China for a year before we get married.
Try using some nail polish to make patterns on the titanium and use electrolysis. Your pattern will be left unoxidized so make sure to anodize it to a complimentary color. Also working your way from low grit sandpaper to high grit will change how you perceive the colors. The green will become much more vibrant this way. Just some tips from a knife lover. ❤
You should flatten them a bit. Then add some pikes on the front to make it easier to scoop the food rather than having to grasp it. Flattened Oral Retrieval and Keeping device. Let's call it a F.O.R.K. It would be much easier than using normal sticks. So much so that you could probably just use one at a time. :)
as a PVD surface engineer, I should say that color is not a result of "thin film reflection". the thickness of the fill must match the wavelength or half wavelength which means at least 200 nanometers but the thickness of the film you formed here is only tens of nanometers, not more. it is due to another physical effect that is out of the scope of this content.
10:05 given that blue appears at thicker oxide layers, it could be that what's happening isn't that blue is getting a boost by constructive interference, but rather that a color close to orange is getting destructively interfered, meaning that you see its complementary color: blue. I'm not sure though, I'm basing this on the fact that for a color to get interfered, the thickness of the film has to be some multiple of the wavelength (or half the wavelength I think) of that color.
That's true! lots of things will do this, which I probably should've made more clear. I got some really nice colors from copper when I was working on my magnetron years ago. Got some rainbow rings where the plasma concentrates.
@@thethoughtemporium Copper has an even more interesting phenomenon, in that it will form certain colors in the reducing atmosphere of the flame of a torch, which will then immediately vanish or change when oxygen gets to it. It would be interesting to see an explanation of that. Is it a thin film of some form of unstable copper carbonate that immediately burns off to carbon dioxide, or is it some other interesting chemical reaction? I want to know!
If you're wanting to maintain certain metal finishes you can skip the sanding process by hot washing in windex (ultrasonic helps) and then hit with a metal etchant. Sadly, the best etchant for this is hydroflouric acid.
Iridescence also depends on the light source. Compact fluorescents and LED lamps have gaps in their spectra, so some of the iridescent colours won't show. It depends on the mix of phosphors in the light. A good rule of thumb is that the cheaper the light the fewer wavelengths emitted. They'll all have at least one red wavelength, one green wavelength and one blue wavelength, and they'll all emit those with a balance such that a white object will look white. But with the cheaper ones a yellow object (for example) may look a lot darker than it looks in daylight because that particular wavelength is not emitted by the lamp. So if you're using iridescent chopsticks, eat _al fresco_ for the best effect.
Anodizer here. Hydrofluoric acid will also remove a blemished ano, an etch it so it’s ready to ano again. It gives it a matte look, sanding gives it a nice shiny look
this is super cool! I love how in depth you went with the light mechanics and specifics of how to make them. this seems like a lot of fun too! if I only had a lathe... haha
I've noticed that at times with my anodized titanium jewelry the part that is in my skin will fade faster than the rest of it. I've always assumed that was because of the natural pH of my body, which is slightly acidic and may be stealing oxygen off the titanium dioxide and converting it slowly back to titanium. Am I correct in this assumption?
hm, you have just saved me some money. I have been wanting this mountain bike chain for my bike that goes by "oil slick" or something of that manner that has this color differentiation . the cheapest one I found was near 100 bucks and thats for a bike chain, lol... thanks.
I see this explanation for the colours that arrive from bluing metal all the time, but it does not make any sense. The phase shift introduced into a particular ray is dependent on the angle of incidence. This is why true thin film interference - such as the dichroic mirror shown - appears to change colour as the part is moved around relative to the light source and the viewing angle. Blued metal does not do this; its just a solid colour. Clearly the colour is dependent on film thickness, but there is no way this can be due to a pure structural colour effect without that angular dependence. Unfortunately I have no idea what the true answer is, because everyone trots out this thin film interference stuff apparently without thinking about it too hard
Tophat 1024 I would think the stickyness would be a good thing, since it would have to stick to the grooves of a diffraction grating to get the optical effects. The only problem I can think of is the expansion gallium experiences when it solidifies
Beware carbide is brittle and has a 3 to 5 thousands radius on the cutting edge. This typically means you need to take at least a 5 thousands cut. Anything below is doing really funky work hardening.
Can someone tell me where I can buy titanium rods? I've searched around and found nothing :/ Preferably on the internet as I live more than 30 miles from the nearest "real" shop
I was replacing the handle on my hatchet recently. When my father told me to hammer the back of the handle to put the head on. I was wondering why the head walks up the handle against gravity when I apply force towards the direction of gravity. (the head is touching nothing but the handle). I would have expected it to fly off. (recently reshaped and Sharpened razor sharp this would have been dangerous).
It's because of the inertia of the axe head. The handle get's driven into the head before the head gets a chance to move, and then friction holds it in place.
When I do this with low carbon steal it turns the colour I want but as it cools it turns a much much darker shade almost a dark grey. Dose anyone know why this happens, what I could to to prevent this and/or what I am doing wrong.
One thing that ive always been taught is you are sanding it wrong... Do not hold both sides of the paper at the same time... it can grab and then wrap your hand around it. instead cut a strip and then hold each end of the strip in each hand and wrap the sand paper around... Plus you can sorta saw it back and forth getting a newer piece of sandpaper easier. School made me watch one too many lathing accidents... dont wanna see that from your channel lol
Make a teardrop shape with the sandpaper, don’t let the two halves touch. If it makes a tight circle it will grab and spin with the material. I’ve seen those same videos, just understand that “school” is a propaganda center. They only care about controlling *what* you think, academia is long dead.
I've bought a pair of $135 (although nowadays you can get some for as low a $75) ornate anodized titanium chopsticks called TiSushi Chopsticks, aside from being extremely gucci, they're actually well-balanced and preferable over wooden chopsticks. IMO there's a huge difference between polished hand-machined solid titanium sticks with grip tips and mid-section patterning for easier handling and the $15 hollow unfinished ones from amazon that sound like chalk when you rub them together.
Man, that's a brilliant video! Through your passion you lure others to learn something new that may have not interested them before. That's some high class teaching! 😃
It’s a very unreactive metal, so it shouldn’t react with food or anything in your mouth, which is one of the reason that it’s used extensively in medical implants.
You'll have an easier time with your tail stock if, when you preposition your piece, leave the 3 jaw open, then, while holding the center drilled hole, against the live center firmly, close the jaws of the chuck. The live center should always aligned with the spindle. If things aren't lining up right, it's because the work was off center in the chuck. This means by just messing with the tail stock you can only at best remove any angular error, but still be off axis. Also the center drill is meant to drill to the second tapered section. It has the same angle as a live center and therefore will hold accurately on the two mating surfaces. The straight part of a center drill is specifically to give clearance for the live center point, so that it DOESN'T contact. Center drills are sold in numbered sizes you you might want to look into smaller sizes. Different live centers and bits can be used to help. Or you can leave matieral on the end to hold a different way. Then part it off after. You want to move the part as little times as possible. You'll never get things perfectly lined exactly as they were before you took it out of the machine. Trust me. Titanium's "bendiness" compared to other metals and plastics isn't as much a problem as the small diameter. The further away from the chuck you are the more leaverage you have which bends the part. A good rule of thumb is use a tail stock when the part extends past the chuck 4 times the diameter. You could probably do all of the front feature of the chopstick without a tailstock or having to move it at all, but it might require doing some funky things like putting the lathe in reverse and cutting the taper on the backside. If you feel like you need more accuracy use a dial indicator with magnetic base instead of the markings on the lathe. At least don't forget about backlash! And don't grab those stingy chips with your fingers! Use a brush or pliers. Those cuts hurt.

Case Hardened Chop sticks
Name tag "#1 blue gem"
The title: Why is Titanium so COLORFUL?
Me: hehe, you mean, kinda like me?
Offset the tailstock to do really long tapers/curves using the power feed.
Bro!!!! Do some pruple/steel butterfly knives next time! You'll make a kickass version of it! :D

"OMG THATS THE BLUE GEM PATERN HAHAHA HELVETE"
Can someone tell me where I can buy titanium rods? I've searched around and found nothing :/
Preferably on the internet as I live more than 30 miles from the nearest "real" shop
eBay is where I got mine
@@thethoughtemporium alright I haven't checked there. If I find something, can you check it's the right stuff? Also ty for the very speedy reply
@@KingJellyfishII you want 6mm grade 5 titanium rod
@@thethoughtemporium Thanks! I've found a few that look about right but I'll check that they are grade 5.
While making titanium chopsticks, you also make a bunch of scrap noodles to eat with it!
I was replacing the handle on my hatchet recently. When my father told me to hammer the back of the handle to put the head on. I was wondering why the head walks up the handle against gravity when I apply force towards the direction of gravity. (the head is touching nothing but the handle). I would have expected it to fly off. (recently reshaped and Sharpened razor sharp this would have been dangerous).
It's because of the inertia of the axe head. The handle get's driven into the head before the head gets a chance to move, and then friction holds it in place.
Me, high as balls at 5:39 am: "Yeah I did always wonder how to make those."
Didn't know that drumsticks could be made out of titanium
Learned somthing new 👍
Jk
You can sell those titanium chopsticks.
Becous they look so nice and i think people would buy them.
Wonder how much this will sell for on the csgo market. Chop stick blue gem...
Emporium says Carbide
8 y olds: FORTNITE
When I do this with low carbon steal it turns the colour I want but as it cools it turns a much much darker shade almost a dark grey.
Dose anyone know why this happens, what I could to to prevent this and/or what I am doing wrong.
residual heat allows the oxide to keep growing. try quenching the part to stop the growth
One thing that ive always been taught is you are sanding it wrong...
Do not hold both sides of the paper at the same time... it can grab and then wrap your hand around it.
instead cut a strip and then hold each end of the strip in each hand and wrap the sand paper around...
Plus you can sorta saw it back and forth getting a newer piece of sandpaper easier.
School made me watch one too many lathing accidents... dont wanna see that from your channel lol
Make a teardrop shape with the sandpaper, don’t let the two halves touch. If it makes a tight circle it will grab and spin with the material.
I’ve seen those same videos, just understand that “school” is a propaganda center. They only care about controlling *what* you think, academia is long dead.
I've bought a pair of $135 (although nowadays you can get some for as low a $75) ornate anodized titanium chopsticks called TiSushi Chopsticks, aside from being extremely gucci, they're actually well-balanced and preferable over wooden chopsticks.
IMO there's a huge difference between polished hand-machined solid titanium sticks with grip tips and mid-section patterning for easier handling and the $15 hollow unfinished ones from amazon that sound like chalk when you rub them together.
But can you make a Bluegem 100% StatTrak * | Chopstick ?
Man, that's a brilliant video! Through your passion you lure others to learn something new that may have not interested them before. That's some high class teaching! 😃
Yeah, finally someone who says the truth! -a lot of people say "I need carbide because titanium is so hard", even though it's softer than steel.
but don't make that mistake with a hardened titanium alloyed rod, sent my cutter into the ceiling when it caught :)
Yeah totally true about the alloy, grade one and two are essentially pure and quite soft, but the other alloys vary heaps.
@@stephenchick2454I can't remember exactly what alloy or grade, I just remember that it was going to be used as a bushing reinforcement,
Will titanium change food's taste like other metals do?
It’s a very unreactive metal, so it shouldn’t react with food or anything in your mouth,
which is one of the reason that it’s used extensively in medical implants.
You'll have an easier time with your tail stock if, when you preposition your piece, leave the 3 jaw open, then, while holding the center drilled hole, against the live center firmly, close the jaws of the chuck. The live center should always aligned with the spindle. If things aren't lining up right, it's because the work was off center in the chuck. This means by just messing with the tail stock you can only at best remove any angular error, but still be off axis.
Also the center drill is meant to drill to the second tapered section. It has the same angle as a live center and therefore will hold accurately on the two mating surfaces. The straight part of a center drill is specifically to give clearance for the live center point, so that it DOESN'T contact. Center drills are sold in numbered sizes you you might want to look into smaller sizes. Different live centers and bits can be used to help. Or you can leave matieral on the end to hold a different way. Then part it off after.
You want to move the part as little times as possible. You'll never get things perfectly lined exactly as they were before you took it out of the machine. Trust me.
Titanium's "bendiness" compared to other metals and plastics isn't as much a problem as the small diameter. The further away from the chuck you are the more leaverage you have which bends the part. A good rule of thumb is use a tail stock when the part extends past the chuck 4 times the diameter. You could probably do all of the front feature of the chopstick without a tailstock or having to move it at all, but it might require doing some funky things like putting the lathe in reverse and cutting the taper on the backside.
If you feel like you need more accuracy use a dial indicator with magnetic base instead of the markings on the lathe. At least don't forget about backlash!
And don't grab those stingy chips with your fingers! Use a brush or pliers. Those cuts hurt.
Glad you went fully down the rabbit hole because EVERY bit of that was super useful information, and of course, just cool.
Am I the only one who thought of Zane From Ninjago? I am not 5 years old
Hello! long time subscriber i really appreciate your videos! and i thought if you wanted to collaborate on some analytical chemistry i could be of help.. I have some equipment at home and run an ICP-MS at work. i could even do isotopic ratio if there is an interest ..anyways lte me know if interested...great work thank you sir!
Anyone have a link to a good and CHEAP titanium supplier?
The most important Question where do you buy the Titaniu from ? :)
Imagine waiting a whole year for ur birthday only for ur parents to get u chopsticks
Better than nothing... Not to mention these are nice chopsticks that would last you a life time. Kind of like having fancy china for special occasions. Not everyone's parents can afford fancy gaming stations and computers.
hi ^^, short question, since you have ever done something with emperors and you know something more with chemi and mechanics can you try to build a yellow emperor? (translated with Google)
Sorry, but that translation doesn't make sense.
"I'm tired of wracking my brain making science videos so today I'm sharing my hobby with you" this is awesome
Idk how titanium makes those unique colors but it is pretty cool
