Hi thanks for the video. It is very helpfull. I use anodizing to colour titanium but the colour rubs of after some time with handling. Will this process with the heat be a better option than anodizing?
My burnt titanium tips are fading. Can i just clean them up and re burn them with propane to get that vibrant blue again? Or do i need to sand tje whole thing (erase the current burnt look)?
I would recommend sanding it. Just because it would get a better result. What I would do is clean it with East her brake parts cleaner, or even just soapy water. Use some rubbing alcohol or acetone and rub it all down. And make sure your wearing gloves. After that, use a wire wheel and go over the entire thing. I would sand it down using a low grit such as 140. Then continue up until probably 2k. Then follow this process. After. You should probably clean it up with some polish but it’s up to you.
@@xxlatexfrakxx5914 absolutely no problem man. If you have any questions feel free to ask, and if I don’t know the answer, I will try my best to find it.
Glad I bought the flashlight in TI now lol gonna try this on the battery section. Thanks for the info👍🏽 Just not sure about the knurled section tho since it should be dulled up first
Did you ever try using electricity to color Ti by anodizing? I messed with small Ti parts in water (plus some trisodium phosphate for conductivity). I had to go up to about 100 volts to get the greens and pinks. Blues are around 30-40v as I remember. I think the anodizing produces a really even color that can't be matched doing it by hand. But I also didn't try it on welded parts. In anodizing, there's no heating, so the weld mass is irrelevant. The question is whether the alloy in the weld is different from the part and whether that will color differently. Nice work, though!
I want to but haven't set up a test vatt yet. Awesome to hear that it worked great for you. Also I think commenters will apriciate u giving the voltage u used to get good blues!
Probably just a simple polish. With enough time everything will wear down but if you clean it regularly with a cloth and acetone or rubbing alcohol you should be fine for a while.
Essentially what the coloring is, is an oxide layer on the top of the titanium. What that means is it can be removed with an abrasive. But only by a harder material than the oxide layer. I.e. sand paper.
I’ve got a titanium air intake and it’s arrived completely polished but I’d like some of the blue/purple colour on it and was thinking of trying this out. I don’t wanna fuck up the intake so was going to buy some titanium tubing and practice on that. The intake I have is made of CP1 grade 4 but most of the tubing I see for sale is grade 2, my question is do different grades of titanium heat colour differently? E.g if I practice on grade 2, is grade 4 going to heat completely different?
I have a titanium exhaust I need to clean scratches off of. Can I use the wore wheen to take the scratches and color off and then buff it and heat it to change the color again? And what kind of wire wheel/ buffer
So when you say clean it up? Do you mean polish it back to the original colour and then reheating it again and it will go through the stages of colours again? So basically if I mess it up I can clean it back to how it was when new and there would be no permanent effects? Thanks
Has anyone tried PVD coating? that way you can put a hard micro thin coating? I believe there might be some companies that either do the Rainbow coating finish or they can do one or two colors.
What about baking? Seems like the best way to get a uniform color. I'd assume temp range is the limiting factor. Does anyone know the required temp? Wouldn't most bike exhaust gases do this naturally?
can you blue a pipe after it’s been used? I’m headed out for a ride and just installed new headers on my bike. Just want to make sure I can still blue them before I go taking them off
It's grade 2....I wouldn't make a turbo manifold due to the heat cycles and the thickness u would need to use for a turbo manifold would cost u $$$$$$$$$$$$$
How can i remove the color if wanr to? I made a header forva bike and i made the mistake of putting something on it and the pipe turned a ugly dual grayish black
So I got a used dirt bike with a titanium fmf system. My cousin convinced my to sandblast the header and I also got the mid pipe vapor blasted. The vapor blasted part turned out great and is still blue. The sand blasted looks like a basic piece of metal. I regret my decision but it's a learning process and I can't go back on it. If I polish out the sandblasted pipe, can I get the same result or does that wreck anything in the metal? The header was also welded by the power bomb. I think it was just some basic wire welding. Looks pretty bad but you said the polish the welds. If I polish that weld, will it have the same result? Is there certain welds that aren't compatible with the titanium turning blue?
Also , the stainless will rust in the spots you burn it I'd you dont keep it polished and cleaned like every time you ride lol, I did that to the tips on my truck.
is 304 type of stainless still can have this bluesh result sir?i used only butane blowtorch and it goes faster to skyblue to white any tips sir? Thank u nice video sir
Can this be done to other metals as I have a steel exhaust pipe I would like to do this to and if so does the heat from using it cause the blue color to change a different color?
@@dougmillard816 no it doesn't, only titanium change the colors but be careful if u you keep the heat more the colors are keeps changing, ex: 1st blue after seconds will be other random colors, and u cant change it after that
Just keep it a silver. It will be stronger and you won't oxidize the alloy in any way. Nobody gives a shit about the color because nobody is going to look at.
I work with TI2. You make it weaker when heat it added unless it's added within a vacuum chamber. Once you add oxygen it is prone to future oxidization and failure.
2:14 titanium isn't steel at all ;) Steel is Iron and carbon and sometimes other elements. Titanium is... Titanium. Sometimes alloyed with other stuff, but it's a totally different element.
1 - strip all oils and residue from the surface of the metal
2 - heat the metal slowly and gradually build the colour into the surface

It is he’s just in experienced and doesn’t seem to know how to say you need to clean it before heating it or you’ll have stains
How to lock in the color? I've seen the floor temps fade at times and were not talking about hundreds of thousands of miles.
thank you for taking the time to video this. very helpful! thanks!
No problem! If u are coloring some titanium let me know how it comes out
So if you get the colour wrong you can polish the colour off and go back over again to get the desired colour?
Very good! I'll try with my Slip-on Arrow. ✌😎
How'd it come out?
good video and explanation, even greater acid techno 👌
Nice vid. I'm gunna try this on my fmf 4.1 titanium header. Good tip about the acetone
If i mess up the color can i polish it off and try again, will colors be as vibrant as the first burn?

Polish the blueing off and re color it
How do remove the blue back to stock??
can i clean my titanium headers with buff or cloth n polished.. will it change color after get hot?
Great video, apprecaite you sharing!

Polish the pipe...got it 😁
Is this pure titanium mate?
Are you supposed to weld after the burning? Because I thought the welds are supposed to stay silver/gold color
There are different artistic looks u can go for by doing it before or after welding

Once it's blued u should be able to clean it with acetone at any time

I noticed around 5:05 You said that if you go too far "light blue" you can re-sand the pipe and start over? Is that accurate? Asking for a friend :P
Yea if u re polish it you can re color it ....I made the mistake once as well
What about baking? Seems like the best way to get a uniform color. I'd assume temp range is the limiting factor. Does anyone know the required temp? Wouldn't most bike exhaust gases do this naturally?
You wont get blue untill about 950 degrees F which is the main issue
Hello can i ask?its a metal? Or steel or titatium?what if i try to polish my metal exhaust?its okay?
This is titanium. But can work on other steels with varying results.
I wasn’t to polish my titanium exhaust tip to have a shiny reflective finish, would I polish it before or after heating it up?
Before

Yes just have to polish them before heating

As long as its titanium yes

Is this method only works on titanium pipes?
It will work on all steel with varying temperatures
What if i using a torch ?
Just clean the metal and burn it until blue ?
Yes
"You gotta take time polishing your pipe" That's what I said to my girlfriend
Haha
Does this work only on titanium or can i do this to other metal as well ? 🤔
Yes it works on other metals although the results don't pop as much
I tried doing it right know on my ssr pipe with a new torch and it wasn’t changing colors at all just smoking up any tips ?
Maybe it didn't get hot enough
Or it's not titanium pipes.
Or it is coated with some kind of polymer...
How do u get it back to stainless steel mate
Polish it again . Color will come off.
Hi. After polishing what did you said that you apply please?
I didn't apply anything.
You said something like asetone no?
Acetone is used prior to coloring as a cleaning agent to remove oils
@@DanmosWorld I don't have any tools or products to polish the titanium pipe. Can I polish it with a fiber cloth and some multi proposal spray?
You can probably do it with scotch Brite pad
Does this work wait stainless steel and regular steel?
It will but temperatures will be different and it won't be as vibrant of colors
Also , the stainless will rust in the spots you burn it I'd you dont keep it polished and cleaned like every time you ride lol, I did that to the tips on my truck.
