How to Use This Calculator

Enter Part surface area (sq ft), Target thickness (mils), and Anodize type (1-3).
Set Current density (ASF), Bath temperature (°F), and Bath concentration (%).
Adjust Electricity cost ($/kWh) as needed.
Review Anodize time (min) and Dimensional growth (mils).
Use Total current (amps) and Operating voltage (V) to inform your decision.
