Platinized Titanium & Niobium Anode Dimensionally Stable Anode

Metal Finishing is a process whereby a coating is deposited onto a substrate by passing a DC current between the anode and the cathode. The metal that is to be plated is dissolved in the electrolyte. The anode (Platinum Plated Anode) is anodically polarized and the cathode (the component to be electroplated) is cathodically polarized. This forms a closed cell. Anode performance is of considerable importance in realizing the success of the electroplating industry.

Tiaano manufacturing Mixed Metal Oxide and Platinized Titanium Anodes for use in various applications where the electroplating of a wide range of metals is necessary. The use of stainless steel anodes, although relatively inexpensive produce iron oxide (rust) as a by-product of anodic passivation and the use of graphite anodes results in an increasing inter-electrode gap as the anode dissolves meaning voltage and product quality do not remain constant. Inert anodes are frequently made from platinized titanium, which is titanium coated with a thin, not necessarily continuous, layer of electrodeposited platinum approximately 2.5 μm thick.

3. For the hydrogen evolution reaction, the over potential is very low.

Tiaano (Ti Anode Fabricators Pvt Ltd, Chennai, India) manufacturing and supplying Platinum Plated titanium Anodes and Platinum Plated Niobium Anodes. Platinum is the most effective metal for any electro chemical or electrolysis process due to its current conducting property. Platinum being the most expensive material rational utilization of Platinum for the greater benefit ensures economical solution. Platinum plated Anodes is none but a rational utilization of platinum by plating limited quantity on to titanium to achieve the same result as using platinum metal.

Platinized Titanium anodes can be operated at very high current densities. 75Amps per dm² are typical. Platinum is preferred on an anode's outer surface because it is highly resistant to corrosion and can ensure current flow in most electrolyte media without leading to the formation of an insulating layer on itself. Because it doesn’t corrode, it doesn’t produce corrosion products and hence the consumption rate is very low.

Advantages of Platinized Titanium Anodes and Platinized Niobium Anodes:-

Platinum plated anode has the advantages of electrochemical inertness, mechanical strength, workability and favorable electrical conductivity. However, it is prohibitively expensive. Development of platinum on titanium, platinum on Niobium and platinum on tantalum (plated) materials has opened up the feasibility of using these for anode materials for Electro Plating, metal finishing and Cathodic Protection (ICCP) systems in critical applications.

Platinum is a precious metal having very good physical and chemical properties. Tiaano manufacturing and supplying platinized anodes are widely used for electroplating and electro winning industrial applications. Electroplating is used in a variety of industries for coating metal objects with a thin layer of a different metal. This electrochemical process requires anodes. There are as many types of anode compositions as there are applications. Platinized Titanium and platinised Niobium Electroplating anodes offer numerous benefits.

Electroplating anodes are used to create products in many industries, including the hydraulic industry. The most common uses for electroplated products are chrome-plated oil pump auger flights, hydraulic cylinders, conveyor flights, sheets and tanks where it would be impractical or too expensive to make the item entirely out of the plating metal.

Titanium - activated by a platinum or a mixed metal oxide (MMO) layer with semiconducting properties - forms an insoluble anode. Both types of anodes are widely used for very different electrochemical applications (electro winning, electro synthesis, electro analysis, electroplating (mainly Automobile parts plating anode, Copper foil plating anode, Hard chrome plating anode, Rotogravure cylinder plating anode, Chromium plating anode, Wire plating anodes, Copper plating anodes, Gold plating anodes, Nickel plating anodes) cathodic corrosion  protection (CP) (Mainly seawater and limited space area), disinfection (mainly Electro Seawater Chlorination, Ionization) Gray Water Treatment, Sewage Treatment and waste water treatment, Effluent Treatment and others). The property of titanium to passivate when anodically polarized is the reason for its use as anode base. The activation must be corrosion-resistant against the electrolyte and must remain active.

Platinum is a precious metal having very good physical and chemical properties such as high corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and catalytic nature. The Platinum Coating delivers excellent performance and a long service life. The life time of platinised titanium anodes is in particular dependent on the work medium (electrolyte) and the anodic current (specific current density).

For high-quality electroplating anodes, manufactured to customer specifications and design, Electroplating is used to coat certain metals with a thin layer of a pure metal, like copper, chromium, platinum, nickel, palladium silver, zinc, gold or any of several alloys. During the process, an electric current passes through a solution known as an electrolyte. The composition of the electrolyte depends on the desired coating. The item being electroplated (cathode) is immersed into the electrolyte solution, as is the plating anode.

Tiaano, Platinised Titanium Electrodes are most suitable for electro plating of precious metals like gold, platinum, palladium, chromium, nickel, rhodium and copper etc…

Platinised titanium anodes / Niobium Anodes consist of a titanium base / Niobium base, in the form of either expanded mesh, sheet, rod, wire or tube with a plating of platinum between 2 to 5 microns thick and purity of platinum is 99.99%. They possess the electrochemical properties of platinum. The titanium used is 99.9% pure as established by ASTM (American Society of Metal).

Platinised titanium and niobium Electrodes are completely or partially covered with a fee microns of platinum (usually 2.5µm). Where the platinum is consumed after years of use, the underlying titanium or niobium passivates and the bath voltage rises at constant current operation. The base metals are not attacked at the usual operational voltages, in fluoride free chromium baths.

For most applications the platinum wear rate is very low and the corresponding anode life time high. In sulphuric acid chromium baths the platinum consumption is between 1g and 4g platinum per million amp hours. Careful design of the platinized anodes will increase their benefit and maximize their life span.  

Platinized titanium Electrodes / Anodes provide a cost effective replacement for lead anodes in hard chromium plating. They provide superior quality deposition and consistency resulting in increased productivity and throughput. Cost benefit analysis demonstrates that the higher initial investment in this technology can be recouped within a short period of time.
