The primary use of platinized titanium anodes is in the field of Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP). The anodes are used in structures buried in soil and the steel exposed to marine environments such as oil and gas producing platforms, ships, oil well casings and jetties.

Tiaano manufacturing and supplying platinized titanium or Platinized Niobium anodes with complete assemblies and cable tails, and mounting arrangements. These assemblies incorporate elements in rod, tube and sheet form.

The principle of impressed Current Cathodic Protection is in connecting an external anode to the material to be protected from corrosion and passing of an external (impressed) electrical DC current. These impressed current anodes are also known as dimensionally stable anode or insoluble anodes.

How does corrosion take place in ships and Steel Structures?

Ships are made of steel; whose main component is iron. Iron is an electrochemically positive element, i.e., it has a tendency to give up electrons to become a free ion. Sea water is composed of oxygen and hydrogen, and it produces electrochemically negative hydroxyl ions which can accept the electrons given by Iron. This way the Iron ions combine with the hydroxyl ions of water to form Iron Hydroxide. This is called the oxidization of Iron, and this oxide is what we call as the brown color rust. Cathodic Protection is a mechanism which is employed to protect the ships / Steel surface from corrosion.
