About Platinized Titanium Anode

1st,Titanium/niobium platinum coated anode for Outstanding Corrosion Prevention
Platinum coated titanium anode synergistically combine the favorable electrochemical features of platinum(Pt)with the corrosion resistance and other characteristics of titanium. They are anodes normally produced by the electrochemical deposition of a very thin layer of platinum metal or the oxides of platinum onto a titanium substrate. These anodes operate as inert anodes with high durability and are preferred because they remain insoluble in common electrolytes.
Platinumis a precious metal known for its unique favorable attributes, including:
>High resistance to corrosion
>Resistance to oxidation
>High electrical conductivity
>Ability to act as catalyst
>High chemical stability
>Capability to produce an excellent finish

2ed,Chemical Behavior of Platinum and Titanium
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 platinum-coated titanium anode:
A low consumption rate that conserves precious platinum
Favorable dimensional stability
Corrosion resistance ensures durability with easy maintainability
Light weight, uniform current distribution

3rd,Advantages of Platinized Titanium Anodes
Platinum has the advantages of electrochemical inertness, mechanical strength, workability and favorable electrical conductivity. However, it is prohibitively expensive. Development of platinum on titanium materials has opened up the feasibility of using these for anode materials for metal finishing and cathodic protection systems in critical applications.

4th,Service life of platinum-titanium anode
The service life ofplatinum/niobium coated titanium anode depends on the binding force of platinum coating and matrix under the same platinum coating thickness. Generally, the failure of platinum coating anode is not caused by the depletion of platinum coating, but by the poor binding force of platinum coating and matrix, resulting in the loss of platinum coating. Sintered platinum anode is coated with high temperature treatment in production, with uniform coating, low internal stress, no gap and good toughness. Excellent binding force;
