Ruthenium-Iridium Coated Titanium Mesh Cylinder Anode for Cathodic Protection Industrial Electrolysis
Product Spotlights
Ruthenium-Iridium Coated Titanium Mesh Cylinder Anode – engineered for demanding cathodic protection and industrial electrolysis applications. As a manufacturer with over 25 years of experience (since 1998), Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory combines advanced coating technology with precision titanium mesh fabrication to deliver anodes that offer exceptional electrochemical performance, long service life, and stable operation in aggressive environments. Our annual export value of US$5–10 million and shipments to global markets including North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East demonstrate our commitment to international quality standards. This anode is designed to maximize current distribution while minimizing weight and resistance, making it a cost-effective solution for protecting pipelines, storage tanks, marine structures, and electrolytic cells.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- High Catalytic Activity: The ruthenium-iridium (Ru-Ir) mixed metal oxide coating provides low overpotential for oxygen and chlorine evolution, ensuring efficient electrolysis and cathodic protection.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Titanium substrate offers superior resistance to chloride, acid, and alkaline environments, while the ceramic coating protects against chemical attack.
- Uniform Current Distribution: Cylindrical mesh design maximizes surface area and allows electrolyte flow through the anode, reducing concentration polarization and improving performance.
- Long Service Life: Under normal operating conditions, the coating can last 5–10 years or more, depending on current density and environment.
- Lightweight & Durable: Titanium mesh is significantly lighter than solid titanium or other metal anodes, simplifying installation and handling.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in various diameters, lengths, mesh openings, and current ratings to meet specific project requirements.
- Environmentally Friendly: No toxic heavy metals like lead or cadmium; fully recyclable titanium substrate.

Applications & Benefits
- Cathodic Protection: Ideal for protecting underground pipelines, storage tanks, reinforced concrete structures, ship hulls, and offshore platforms from corrosion. The cylindrical mesh shape allows easy installation in deep wells, marine environments, and confined spaces.
- Industrial Electrolysis: Used in chlorine-alkali production, electrochlorination, water treatment, metal electrowinning, and electroplating. The Ru-Ir coating resists chlorine evolution and maintains high activity over extended periods.
- Cost Savings: Compared to platinized titanium or niobium anodes, Ru-Ir coated titanium mesh provides a balance of performance and affordability, reducing initial investment and replacement costs.
- Custom Engineering Support: Our in-house R&D team can optimize coating composition, mesh geometry, and current density to match your specific electrolyte chemistry and operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this anode?
Under normal conditions (e.g., 50 A/m² in seawater), the anode can last 5–8 years. In less aggressive environments, it may exceed 10 years. The actual lifespan depends on current density, temperature, and chemical composition of the electrolyte. -
Q: Can you customize the mesh opening and dimensions?
Yes, we offer full customization. You can specify wire diameter, mesh opening, cylinder diameter, length, and connection type. Please provide your requirements and we will prepare a tailored design. -
Q: Is this anode suitable for chlorine-alkali production?
Absolutely. The ruthenium-iridium coating is specifically designed for chlorine evolution. It offers low overpotential and high resistance to chlorine attack, making it a standard choice for chlor-alkali cells. -
Q: Do you provide samples for testing?
Yes, we provide small sample anodes for evaluation. The sample cost can be deducted from the first bulk order. Please contact our sales team to discuss sample size and shipping. -
Q: What payment terms do you accept?
We accept T/T (bank transfer), L/C (letter of credit), Western Union, and other negotiable terms. For regular customers, flexible payment schedules are available. -
Q: How long does delivery take?
For standard sizes, production takes 15–20 working days. For customized designs, it may take 20–30 working days after order confirmation. We ship via sea, air, or express as per your request. -
Q: Can I use this anode for impressed current cathodic protection in soil?
Yes, it is suitable for both soil and freshwater environments. However, the anode should be backfilled with conductive coke or carbonaceous material to ensure proper current distribution. We can provide installation guidance. -
Q: What is the warranty period?
We offer a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. For coating performance, we provide a performance guarantee based on the agreed operating conditions. Please refer to our warranty policy for details.
