Precious Metal Oxide Tubular Anodes are superbly fabricated by coating a tubular titanium substrate with a layer of electrocatalytically active metal oxides, a structure that gives the anode material its excellent electrochemical properties. In a cathodic protection system, the precious metal oxide tubular anode works in conjunction with the potentiostat, test pile, reference electrode, and other components to protect the metal structure from corrosion by providing a steady current.
Precious metal oxide tubular anodes have a wide range of applications and can be used in a variety of environments such as soil, fresh water, salt water and sea water. In these environments, the precious metal oxide tubular anode is able to stably provide the required protection current, effectively prolonging the service life of the metal structure. Due to its excellent electrical conductivity and chemical stability, the precious metal oxide tubular anode is also able to adapt to the corrosion challenges of different media environments.
In addition to its wide range of applications, the precious metal oxide tubular anode has many advantages. Its light weight makes it easy to install and transport, which reduces project costs. The precious metal oxide tubular anode has a long service life and can operate stably for a long time, which reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacement. Precious metal oxide tubular anode is cost-effective, compared with other anode materials, it can ensure the performance while reducing the cost of use.
In practice, the type of coating, thickness and anode specification size of the precious metal oxide tubular anodes can be tailored to the user. This depends on factors such as the required current density, the media environment in which it will be used, and the design life. For example, anodes used in soil environments may have coatings that focus more on corrosion and abrasion resistance, while anodes used in seawater environments may require coatings that are more resistant to seawater corrosion.
Precious metal oxide tubular anodes are also used in a variety of forms in cathodic protection systems. It can be used as an anode material for continuous horizontal beds, discontinuous horizontal beds, or shallowly buried vertical beds to provide a stable protection current to these beds. Precious metal oxide tubular anodes can also be used in industrial equipment such as condensate vessels, heat exchangers and water treatment equipment to protect them from corrosion.
The precious metal oxide tubular anode also plays an important role in storage tank facilities such as underground storage tanks, aboveground storage tanks and water storage tanks. It can be used as part of the cathodic protection system of storage tanks to effectively prevent corrosion of the metal structure inside the tanks. In addition, the precious metal oxide tubular anode can also be used in the field of anti-corrosion of ships, pavements, bridges, building steel bodies, etc., to provide long-term stable protection for these structures.
