PLATINISED COPPER CORED TITANIUM ROD

Platinized titanium anodes are extensively used in electrolytic processes. They have successfully replaced lead anodes in electroplating applications due to their lower consumption, dimensional accuracy, ability to form precise deposit thicknesses on desired geometric shapes, predictable plating chemistry and ease of maintenance. These anodes can be designed and formed with various geometries based upon the parts to be electroplated.

Platinum on titanium anodes are highly preferred anodes for electrodeposition of copper, chromium, platinum, nickel, palladium and gold.

Platinized titanium anode by adopting thermal decomposition process to get a dense wear-resistant layer of platinum coating. The anode surface is modified to improve adhesion of platinum and to significantly improve uniformity of coating thickness, also reduce the coating porosity imparting greater acid resistance to the anode. This platinum coated titanium anode can be fabricated into bar, rod, sheet, mesh and other customized shape to meet your special needs.

Because of its high conductivity and low consumption rate, Platinum is an excellent anode material. Due to its high cost, Platinum is made practical for use by electroplating a thin layer over a high corrosion resistance substrate. Since Titanium, Niobium and Tantalum substrates have the ability to form an insulating oxide film under anodic conditions, they are commonly used as anode in ICCP (impressed current cathodic protection anode). Among them, Titanium is less expensive; however, it has a much lower breakdown potential than Niobium or Tantalum. The titanium oxide breaks down at anodic potentials in the 12 V range.

Advantages of platinized titanium anodes

Low consumption rate and high current density

Voltages in excess of 10 Volts will result in severe pitting of the titanium core causing premature failure
