Description
🔬 Overview: What is a Titanium Anode Tube?
A Titanium Anode Tube is a cylindrical electrochemical component made from high-purity titanium (typically GR1 or GR2), engineered to serve as the anode in electrolysis, electroplating, and wastewater treatment systems. Coated with highly conductive and corrosion-resistant materials such as MMO (Mixed Metal Oxides) or platinum (Pt), these tubes exhibit outstanding durability, electrical performance, and resistance to harsh chemical environments.
Titanium anode tubes are vital for modern industries seeking long-life, maintenance-free and efficient electrochemical systems.

- 🏪 Cathodic Protection Systems: Used in marine or underground pipelines and structures.
🧰 Coating Types: MMO vs. Platinum
1. MMO Coated Titanium Anode Tube
- Composed of a conductive mix (RuO2, IrO2, Ta2O5)
- High current efficiency
- Stable for chlorine or oxygen evolution reactions (CER/OER)
- Best for industrial wastewater treatment and chlorine electrolysis
2. Platinized Titanium Anode Tube
- Coated with pure platinum via electroplating
- Ultra-low overpotential
- Excellent performance in acidic environments and high current applications
- Best for electroplating, semiconductor etching, and high-purity water systems

🎓 Why Choose GR1 / GR2 Titanium?
- GR1 Titanium is the softest grade: ideal for complex forming
- GR2 Titanium offers better strength with similarly high corrosion resistance
- Both grades are non-toxic, lightweight, and exhibit strong resistance to oxidizing agents and chloride-rich environments
These grades make titanium ideal for long-term industrial use in chlorine, acid, and seawater conditions.
