Platinized Titanium & Niobium Anode Dimensionally Stable Anode

Platinised Metal Basket Supplied by Tiaano: Precision Engineered for Hard Chrome Plating Excellence

Why Should You Choose a Platinised Metal Basket for Hard Chrome Plating?

In the demanding world of hard chrome plating, achieving uniform coating thickness, minimal hydrogen embrittlement, and extended bath life is critical. A high-performance platinised metal basket can dramatically outperform conventional lead or MMO-coated anodes while eliminating toxic lead contamination. The result? Superior deposit quality, lower rejection rates, and significant cost savings over time.

About Ti Anode Fabricators Pvt. Ltd – Leaders in Platinised Titanium Solutions

Established in 1992 and based in Chennai, India, Ti Anode Fabricators Pvt. Ltd (Tiaano) has earned global recognition as a premier designer and manufacturer of platinum-plated titanium anodes and electrolytic accessories. With decades of specialization in platinised metal baskets and platinised titanium anodes for hard chrome plating baths, Tiaano combines cutting-edge electro-chemical engineering with rigorous Indian craftsmanship to deliver components that consistently exceed industry standards.

Role of Platinised Metal Basket in Hard Chrome Plating

A platinised metal basket serves as a dimensionally stable anode (DSA) in hexavalent chromium plating baths. The thin but extremely dense layer of platinum acts as the active catalytic surface, enabling efficient chromium ion discharge while resisting the highly oxidative environment of the chromic acid-sulfuric acid electrolyte. Unlike traditional lead anodes that form thick PbO₂ layers and contaminate the bath with lead chromate sludge, platinised titanium remains clean, maintains constant geometry, and delivers uniform current distribution for flawless hard chrome plating.

Technical Specifications and Material Superiority

This recently dispatched unit was fully custom-built to client requirements:

• Internal Dimensions: ID 100 mm × 250 mm Height
• Platinum Coating Thickness: 3.0 micron on both internal and external surfaces
• Substrate: Gr.2 Titanium mesh basket with reinforced titanium frame
• Coating Method: Multi-layer thermal decomposition for maximum adhesion
• Current Density Rating: Up to 2500 A/m² in hard chrome service

The 3-micron platinum layer strikes the optimal balance between longevity (typically 4–8 years in continuous hard chrome operation) and cost-effectiveness.

Tiaano’s Rigorous Quality Assurance Protocol

Every platinised metal basket leaving Tiaano’s facility undergoes a stringent in-house validation sequence:

• Ultrasonic adhesion testing of platinum layer
• Accelerated life testing in actual chromic acid electrolyte at 50°C
• XRF thickness verification at multiple points
• Visual and microscopic inspection for micro-cracks
• Electrical conductivity and contact resistance measurement
• Final dimensional and weight certification

Only baskets that clear 100% of these parameters are approved for dispatch.

Detailed Description of the Platinised Metal Basket

The basket features a robust cylindrical titanium mesh structure that maximizes surface area while allowing unrestricted electrolyte flow and gas venting. Double-sided 3.0 micron platinum plating ensures anodic operation from both surfaces, dramatically increasing effective anode area inside compact jigs. Heavy-duty titanium hook contacts guarantee low-resistance current transfer even under high amperage loads typical in hard chrome plating.

Key Applications of Platinised Metal Baskets

• Automotive piston rings and hydraulic cylinder rods
• Aerospace landing gear components
• Industrial roll resurfacing and mould restoration
• Defence and marine shaft hard chrome plating
• Printing cylinder and textile roll plating
• Oil & gas valve component plating

Hard chrome plating is an electroplating process in which chromium is deposited from a chromic acid solution. Thickness of hard chrome plating ranges. Various types of hard chrome include micro-cracked chromium, micro- porous chromium, porous chromium and crack free chromium.

What is the difference between chrome plating and hard chrome plating?

The primary difference between decorative chrome and hard chrome plating is the thickness of the chrome plating on the final product. Decorative chrome plating is thinner than hard chrome and is primarily for aesthetic appeal and as a protective coating.

What Is the Use of Hard Chrome Plating?

·         Hydraulic cylinders and pistons.

·         Automotive and mechanical components.

·         Rolls, molds, dies, screws and other forming surfaces.

·         Press punches and tooling.

·         Mining and agriculture equipment.

·         Shafts and rotors for pump applications.

 ·        Components used in textiles and printing.

The platinum plated sheet are used in ionization application. These metals are also classified as noble metals, meaning they offer excellent resistance against corrosion and oxidation. Platinum is approximately 15 times more scarce than gold; there are no large stockpiles of platinum anywhere in the world. Being a very expensive metal, Instead of using solid form, platinum is deposited on the surface of titanium sheet. Because platinum is very expensive, so in this process they used to do platinum plating in titanium metal by using ionization application. The dimension of the platinum plated sheet is 80 mm width x 90 mm long x 1 mm thickness with 0.5 micron thickness platinum plating on both sides (anode). We have supplied in this job to the Brain lighten.

The Platinum Titanium terminals make the ionization, the electrode cell is the core of an ionizer. It comprises of a progression of terminals (plates), each isolated by a layer. The Platinized Titanium Anode is for the most part utilized, on the grounds that it has extraordinary viable execution, for example, solid capacity of ionization discharge, great trade of electrolyte, close design and light weight, and so on.

Anode Side: Platinum Plated Titanium Anode

Positively charged particles accumulate at the negative terminal to make decreased water, which concentrates accessible antacid minerals, for example, calcium, magnesium and potassium from the source water. This soluble ionized water is drawn for drinking and cooking, through the really treated steel ramble.

Cathode Side: Platinum Plated Titanium Cathode

Negatively charged particles accumulate at the positive anode to make oxidized water, which concentrates corrosive minerals like nitrates, sulphides, chlorides, and fluorides from the source water. This corrosive ionized water has a horde of outer purposes. It is released into the sink.                                    

Tiaano plan and assembling various aspects and Shapes of platinum or platinum covered anodes and cathodes for modern antacid water plant. The fundamental parts of the ionization chamber are its two gathering terminals, (the anode and cathode) the anode is emphatically accused of regard to the cathode. Water Ionizer Electrodes [Anodes or Cathodes] are accessible with hanging snare, casing or band as sheet, extended network, pipe, wire, bar and specially constructed.
