PLATINIZED ANODES
Platinized Niobium Anodes:
Platinized niobium anodes combine the excellent electrochemical characteristics of platinum with the very good corrosion qualities of niobium. Since Titanium, Niobium and Tantalum substrates are having the ability to form an insulating oxide film under anodic conditions, they are most commonly used as anode in Impressed Current Cathodic Protection system.
To realize a continuous current electrical conductivity and a long lifetime, the anodes are applied with a thin layer of Platinum. Compared to platinized titanium anodes, niobium anodes have a significantly higher breakdown voltage.
Composition: Anode comprises of a thin layer of platinum coated on Niobium substrate.Niobium Anodes
