1. Products descriptions
Titanium plates and expanded titanium mesh are used to create a titanium anode basket. It has various forms, including round, rectangular, dish, etc. It can also be specially designed according to the customer's requirements.
Titanium Anode Baskets are used in electroplating and electrochemical applications. They are designed to hold titanium anodes securely in place during the electrolysis process.
2. Titanium anode baskets size and specifications
The thickness of titanium is 0.5-2.0mm.
The mesh sizes are 6mm×3mm, 10mm× 3mm,10mm×5mm, and wider 16×8mm, 25×15mm, etc.
Basket size: according to the customer's drawings.
Material: These baskets are made of high-quality titanium material, which makes them highly resistant to corrosion and wear.
Design: The baskets are designed with a mesh structure that allows for better electrolytic flow and improved performance. They are available in various shapes and sizes to fit specific applications.
Features: Ti anode baskets are characterized by their excellent mechanical strength, high electrical conductivity, low density, and good thermal stability. They are also light in weight and easy to install and maintain.
3. How do the titanium anode baskets work?
The titanium basket has high strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance, and a layer of oxide film on its surface. Under normal electroplating conditions, this film can prevent the current from passing through titanium and making it directly lead to the anode material in the titanium basket.
Typically, the anode bag is used along with the titanium basket. The anode bag is generally made of acid and alkali-resistant or oxidation-resistant polyester (polyester fiber) or polypropylene (polypropylene fiber), which, in order to keep impurities like anode sludge from mixing into the tank, is sleeved outside the titanium basket. Sometimes, in order to prevent the anode mud and the coating from burring more effectively, a double-layer anode bag can be used. When using a double-layer anode bag, the inner bag should be tight and the outer bag should be loose. The anode bag shall generally have the characteristics of good corrosion resistance, good abrasion resistance, good elasticity, etc.
Application: These baskets are widely used in the electroplating and electrochemical industries for the anodic oxidation process, which involves producing a protective oxide layer on metal surfaces.
Benefits: The use of Titanium Anode Baskets provides significant benefits such as extended service life, reduced maintenance costs, improved productivity, increased efficiency, and higher quality and consistency of the end product.
In summary, Titanium Anode Baskets are an essential component in electroplating and electrochemical processes, and their high-quality design and materials assure excellent performance and durability.
4. Key points of titanium baskets design
1. The conductivity of titanium is poor. Generally, the hook outside the water is not more than 0.24A/mm2, and the power on the current of the hook in the water is not more than 1.5A/mm2. Otherwise, the hook body heats up, causing the temperature of the electroplating solution to rise, the cooling capacity to increase, wasting power, and even damaging the plastic tank due to heating.
2. The titanium basket hook and the electrode generally do not use a plane or circular contact, which is easy to cause poor contact and spot corrosion of the electrode.
5. Our advantages
We have the material in stock and several years of manufacturing and welding experience in titanium products, the design capacity of the customer-size baskets except for the normally used anode baskets, short lead time, and quality products. Inquiry contact sales@tmsalloy.com.
6. Precautions for using titanium anode baskets
1. Anode titanium blue and anode bag shall be soaked in 10% alkali solution for 6-8 hours, washed and dried, and then soaked in 5% dilute sulfuric acid.
2. When it is found that the titanium basket hook becomes significantly hot, the number of titanium baskets can be increased or the section size of the titanium basket hook can be increased to improve the conductivity of the titanium basket.
3. The titanium blue mouth should be 30-40mm higher than the liquid level to prevent the anode slag from flowing out.
4. The lower end of the titanium basket should be 100-150 mm higher than the part (it can be considered installing a shutter at the side close to the liquid level), to prevent the parts at the lower end from being too concentrated and causing scorching.
5. The anode potential on the titanium basket will rise sharply if the titanium basket is not in good contact with the anode, which will lead to oxygen evolution and chlorine evolution on the titanium basket's surface, causing damage to the titanium basket and oxidation of additives.
6. The anode bag should tightly wrap the titanium basket mouth, and a few centimeters of a gap should be left at the bottom of the bag to store possible anode sludge.
7. Clean the anode bag and titanium blue every half to one month, and replace the damaged anode bag to ensure that the plating solution and aqueduct are free of pollution
8. Supplement or replenish anode materials in time to avoid "overhead" when nickel is insufficient, otherwise, titanium will be eroded.
