Tiaano Electro Plating Anodes consist of a titanium or Niobium based material in the form of expanded meshl, sheet, rod, wire, or pipe. The standard platinum layer thickness is 1.5 micron to 5 micron in case of higher loads layer thickness of up to 20 micron. The lifetime of platinised titanium anodes is in particular dependent on the work medium (electrolyte) and the anodic current (specific current density).
It should not exceed 75 A/dm2. The platinum wear is low under these conditions and the lifetime of the anode is calculable. According to experience, it is approx. 1-4 g platinum per one million ampere hours in fluoride-free chromium baths. In case of specific current densities of over 75 A/dm2 or upon the use of baths containing fluoride, we recommend the use of platinised niobium anodes.
Electro Plating Anode Substrate: Titanium / Niobium (As per ASTM Standard)
Electro Plating Anode Catalyst: Pure Platinum 99.99%
Major advantages of Platinised Titanium Anodes / Platinised Niobium Anodes:
• Long operating life & maintenance-free.
• Economical due to low platinum requirements.
• Low Consumption rate
• High dimensional stability, long durability and load resistance.
• Good current distribution.
• High corrosion resistance.
• Low weight (in particular expanded mesh anodes)
• Energy saving potential
• Long service time even at high current density
• Homogeneous deposition, higher quality of end product
• Replating very much possible
