Abstract

We oxidized pure titanium by anodizing oxidation process in the range of 590V, within 1.5A, 30seconds. we investigated color evolution with a spectrophotometer. Surface images and surface roughness were characterized by an optical microscope and an atomic force microscope, respectively. Below the thickness of 40 $mu extrm{m}$, metallic yellow, blue, and pink colorsn were obtained. Lightness decreased, increased, and decreased again as titanium oxide thickness increased. Blue color at the applied voltage of 30V showed the best lightness and reproducibility with surface roughness below l$mu extrm{m}$. Bare titanium and titanium oxide films had micro pits more than 10ea/$mu extrm{m}^2$. We report that we successfully made colors by varing thickness below 40$mu extrm{m}$ with anodizing oxidation of method.
