Whether you need a standard size or a customized solution, our engineering team is ready to support your specific requirements.
Product Overview
Our Ruthenium-Iridium (Ru-Ir) coated mesh cylinder anode is manufactured using a high-purity titanium substrate, coated with a mixed metal oxide (MMO) layer of ruthenium and iridium. This combination provides excellent electrocatalytic properties, low overpotential, and superior corrosion resistance in aggressive electrolytes. The cylindrical mesh design ensures optimal flow of electrolyte and uniform current distribution, which is critical for consistent plating results and efficient electrochemical reactions.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Catalytic Activity: The Ru-Ir coating accelerates electrochemical reactions, reducing energy consumption by up to 15-20% compared to conventional anodes.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Withstands harsh acidic or alkaline environments, extending service life beyond 3-5 years under normal operating conditions.
- Uniform Current Distribution: The mesh cylinder structure minimizes edge effects and ensures even plating thickness across the cathode.
- Low Maintenance: Dimensionally stable anodes (DSA) require no frequent replacement, reducing downtime and operational costs.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in various diameters, lengths, and mesh configurations to fit your specific electrolytic cell.
- Lightweight & Robust: Titanium substrate provides high strength-to-weight ratio, easy handling and installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this anode in an electroplating bath?
A: Under normal operating conditions (current density 1-5 A/dm², temperature ≤60°C, neutral to acidic electrolyte), the Ru-Ir coating can last 3-5 years. Higher current density or aggressive chemicals may reduce lifespan, but our design optimizes durability. -
Q: Can I use this anode for both cathodic and anodic reactions?
A: This anode is designed specifically for anodic applications (oxidation). It is not suitable for use as a cathode. For cathodic protection, please consult our technical team for appropriate products. -
Q: Is the titanium substrate pure titanium or an alloy?
A: We use Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercially pure titanium, which offers excellent corrosion resistance and formability. Alloy substrates are available upon request for specific requirements. -
Q: What is the maximum current density I can apply?
A: The recommended continuous current density range is 1-5 A/dm². Short-term peaks up to 8 A/dm² are possible, but prolonged operation above 5 A/dm² may accelerate coating wear. We advise testing with your specific electrolyte. -
Q: Do you provide custom sizes or shapes?
A: Yes, we offer extensive customization. You can specify different diameters, lengths, mesh openings, or even non-cylindrical shapes (e.g., flat mesh, disc, rod). Minimum order quantity may apply for custom designs. -
Q: How do I connect the anode in my system?
A: Each anode can be equipped with a titanium or copper connector (e.g., threaded rod, flat tab) based on your preference. We recommend using a titanium bolt to avoid galvanic corrosion. Please indicate your connection requirement when ordering. -
Q: What is the coating thickness and how does it affect performance?
A: Coating loading is typically 10-20 g/m² of mixed metal oxide, which provides a balance between catalytic activity and durability. Heavier coating (up to 30 g/m²) can extend life but may slightly increase cost. We can adjust based on your application. -
Q: Can this anode be used in seawater or chloride-rich environments?
A: Yes, the Ru-Ir coating is highly stable in chloride environments, making it suitable for seawater electrolysis, hypochlorite generation, and chlor-alkali processes. However, avoid fluoride ions as they can attack the titanium substrate.
