Tiaano Platinised Titanium Anode for Hard Chrome Plating. Current hard chromium plating processes are principally based on chromic acid and sulfuric acid. The nature of chrome electroplating bath can impact the longevity of the anodes. In particular, free fluoride ions; it can attack the metals of the anode and cause corrosion. 

Lead tin alloy anodes are commonly used for hard chrome plating. But the sludge of lead chromate is usually formed on the bottom of the plating tank. As a soft metal, lead alloy anode is easily deform or bend. It affects the current density and result in uneven plating thickness and may cause short circuit.

Platinized titanium anode is a good option in hard chrome plating. It reduces the amount of hazardous lead sludge generation, is dimensional stability, resulting in a more stable, homogeneous, and consistent-thickness plating process. Platinized anodes are much more flexible in shaping and dimensioning and can be designed according to the shapes of the work pieces to be plated.

Tiaano employs titanium tube as substrate, since it produces uniform current density and excellent plating results. It also enables gases to escape more effectively and increase the movement of the electrolyte. Also give a higher coating current density and smaller distances between the anode and the cathode.

For Plating, Tiaano has designed a high-temperature electrolysis method for platinum plating. The purity of the plating is at 99.99 percent. The ductility, adhesion and corrosion resistance of the platinum plating are considerably better, while the internal stresses are kept to a minimum. The plating or coating thickness distribution is much more uniform, because of the dimensional stability of the anodes.

Tiaano offers New Anodes, Anodes repair and Rectification and Replating or Recoating
