Rather than using varying current and voltages, the LCD Process specifies that the anodization be performed at a constant current while allowing a power supply to automatically adjust the voltage as required. This makes it ideally suited for home and amateur use, which is the targeted audience of this review.

Polishing And Coatings
If you're interested in learning about polishing and coatings techniques, this category is the perfect place to start. Here, you'll find an extensive selection of books and other resources that cover everything from basic buffing and polishing to advanced anodizing processes. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a seasoned professional, there's something here for everyone who wants to improve their metalworking or woodworking skills.
One of the most exciting things about this category is its focus on rebuilding with polishing and coatings. If you have old tools or equipment that need some TLC, learning these techniques can help bring them back to life. You'll be amazed at what a little bit of elbow grease (and the right book!) can do for your favorite pieces.
Some standout titles in this category include Buff And Polish Book, which covers all aspects of buffing metals; Anodic Coatings for Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys, which provides detailed information on anodizing aluminum; Shootersolution Parkerizing Tips, which offers tips specifically geared towards gun enthusiasts; Electric Metal Stencil, which teaches readers how to make custom stencils for etching designs onto metal surfaces; Kitchen Stove Parkerizing, which explains how to use parkerization as a way of protecting cast iron cookware from rusting; Roderus Anodizing Calc 2,which helps calculate voltage requirements when using sulfuric acid electrolytes during anodization process etc.
Whether you're looking to expand your knowledge base or simply want some inspiration for your next project involving metalwork or woodworking - this collection has it all! So why wait? Start exploring today!
