Titanium Substrate Ruthenium-Iridium Mesh Cylinder Anode, 3mm Wire Diameter, 50mm OD
Product Spotlights
As a trusted manufacturer since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory brings decades of expertise in producing high-performance titanium substrate anodes. Our Titanium Substrate Ruthenium-Iridium Mesh Cylinder Anode (3mm wire diameter, 50mm OD) is engineered for demanding electrochemical applications, offering exceptional corrosion resistance and catalytic activity. This anode combines the durability of titanium with a premium mixed metal oxide coating, ensuring long service life and stable performance in harsh environments.
The cylinder design provides uniform current distribution, making it ideal for use in electrolytic cells, electroplating tanks, and water treatment systems. With an annual export value of US$5–10 million and shipments to over 15 global markets (including North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Oceania), we guarantee reliable quality and consistent supply. Our factory in Hengshui, Hebei, China, employs advanced wire mesh technology to produce anodes that meet international standards.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Base Material: High-purity titanium substrate (Grade 1 or Grade 2) – excellent corrosion resistance in acidic and alkaline electrolytes.
- Coating: Ruthenium-Iridium (Ru-Ir) mixed metal oxide – superior electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution reactions (OER) and chlorine evolution reactions (CER).
- Wire Diameter: 3mm – provides structural strength while maintaining high surface area for efficient current transfer.
- Outer Diameter: 50mm (standard) – customizable from 20mm to 200mm upon request.
- Mesh Configuration: Cylindrical shape with uniform mesh openings (typically 6×6 mm or 10×10 mm, optional).
- Operating pH Range: 1–14 (depending on electrolyte composition).
- Maximum Current Density: 2000 A/m² (recommended for normal operation).
- Coating Thickness: 5–15 μm (controlled to optimize performance and lifetime).
Performance Comparison (Typical Values)
| Parameter | Standard Anode | Our Ru-Ir Cylinder Anode |
|---|---|---|
| Overpotential (OER) | ~600 mV | ~380 mV (lower energy consumption) |
| Service Life (typical) | 1–2 years | 3–5 years (under normal conditions) |
| Coating Adhesion | Moderate | Excellent (thermal decomposition method) |
| Temperature Resistance | Up to 40°C | Up to 60°C (peak 80°C for short periods) |
Applications & Benefits
- Electroplating Industry: Used as an insoluble anode for gold, nickel, copper, and chromium plating – ensures uniform coating thickness and reduces contamination.
- Water Treatment: Effective in electrochemical oxidation systems for disinfection, COD removal, and heavy metal recovery.
- Chlor-Alkali Production: Suitable for chlorine evolution in brine electrolysis – low overpotential reduces energy costs by up to 15%.
- Metal Recovery: Cathodic protection and electrowinning applications – long-lasting even in aggressive media.
- Organic Synthesis: Used as an electrode in electrochemical reactors for fine chemical production.
Our anode offers significant operational advantages: lower voltage drop, stable performance over time, easy installation (cylinder can be directly mounted or suspended), and reduced maintenance downtime. The 3mm wire thickness provides excellent mechanical strength, preventing deformation under high flow rates or pressure.
Quality Assurance & Trust
With over 25 years of manufacturing experience, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory has supplied anodes to clients in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and Asia – covering major industrial regions. Our annual export value of US$5–10 million reflects the trust our customers place in our products. We use only high-purity titanium sourced from reputable suppliers and apply the Ru-Ir coating via a proprietary thermal decomposition process that ensures strong adhesion and consistent catalytic activity.
Every anode undergoes rigorous quality control checks, including appearance inspection, coating thickness measurement, and electrochemical performance testing. We offer customization options: different OD, wire diameter, mesh opening, and even hybrid coatings (e.g., Ru-Ir-Ta) upon request. Our port of shipment is flexible: Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, or Foshan – whichever is most convenient for your logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this Ru-Ir cylinder anode?
A: Under normal operating conditions (current density ≤1500 A/m², pH 1–14, temperature -
Q: Can the anode be customized to other dimensions?
A: Yes. We offer custom outer diameters from 20mm to 200mm, different wire diameters (1.5mm, 2mm, 4mm, etc.), and various mesh openings. Please provide your specific requirements, and we will design accordingly. -
Q: Is this anode suitable for chlorine evolution in seawater electrolysis?
A: Yes. The Ru-Ir coating is specifically designed for chlorine evolution reactions (CER) with high selectivity and low overpotential. It performs well in brine or seawater with chloride concentration >30 g/L. -
Q: How do I connect the anode to the power supply? Does it come with a terminal?
A: The anode is supplied without a terminal as standard, but we can add a titanium rod or plate connection (e.g., M6 thread) upon request. The mesh cylinder itself can be clamped or welded. Please specify your connection method when ordering. -
Q: What is the coating thickness? Can it be increased for longer life?
A: Standard coating thickness is 5–15 μm. For applications requiring extended service life, we can increase the thickness to 20–30 μm (subject to additional cost). Note that thicker coating may slightly increase electrical resistance. -
Q: Do you provide samples for testing before bulk order?
A: Yes, sample orders are welcome. We can produce a single unit or small batch for evaluation. Lead time for samples is typically 7–10 working days. Please contact our sales team for sample pricing. -
Q: What certifications or quality standards do your anodes meet?
A: Our manufacturing process follows internal quality control procedures based on industry best practices. While we do not hold specific product certifications (e.g., ISO or CE) for this anode, we can provide test reports for material composition, coating adhesion, and electrochemical performance upon request. We also comply with customer-specific standards if required. -
Q: How should the anode be stored when not in use?
A: Store in a dry, clean environment at room temperature. Avoid contact with oil, grease, or corrosive gases. If stored for long periods, wrap the anode in plastic or place it in a sealed bag to prevent dust accumulation.
