The standard platinum thickness is 1.0 micron to 6.0 micron in case of higher loads layer thickness of up to 20 micron. The lifetime of platinized titanium or Platinized Niobium electrodes is in particular dependent on the work medium (electrolyte) and the anodic current. Platinized titanium anodes or platinized Niobium Anodes combine the excellent electrochemical features of platinum with the good corrosion qualities of titanium.

Tiaano Platinised Titanium Anode for Hard Chrome Plating. Current hard chromium plating processes are principally based on chromic acid and sulfuric acid. The nature of chrome electroplating bath can impact the longevity of the anodes. In particular, free fluoride ions; it can attack the metals of the anode and cause corrosion. 

Lead tin alloy anodes are commonly used for hard chrome plating. But the sludge of lead chromate is usually formed on the bottom of the plating tank. As a soft metal, lead alloy anode is easily deform or bend. It affects the current density and result in uneven plating thickness and may cause short circuit.

Platinized titanium anode is a good option in hard chrome plating. It reduces the amount of hazardous lead sludge generation, is dimensional stability, resulting in a more stable, homogeneous, and consistent-thickness plating process. Platinized anodes are much more flexible in shaping and dimensioning and can be designed according to the shapes of the work pieces to be plated.

Tiaano employs titanium tube as substrate, since it produces uniform current density and excellent plating results. It also enables gases to escape more effectively and increase the movement of the electrolyte. Also give a higher coating current density and smaller distances between the anode and the cathode.

For Plating, Tiaano has designed a high-temperature electrolysis method for platinum plating. The purity of the plating is at 99.99 percent. The ductility, adhesion and corrosion resistance of the platinum plating are considerably better, while the internal stresses are kept to a minimum. The plating or coating thickness distribution is much more uniform, because of the dimensional stability of the anodes.

Tiaano offers New Anodes, Anodes repair and Rectification and Replating or Recoating

Tiaano Platinized Titanium Mesh Anodes are most suitable for Semiconductor and electronics Industries for plating of precious metals like gold, platinum, rhodium and copper. This process called electroplating. Also known as electro deposition. This process deposits a thin layer of metal on the surface of a work part referred to as the substrate. Semiconductors are the footing of the electronics industry. These partially conductive products include transistors, chips and other electronic control parts, and are integral to electronic equipment from mobile phones to cars and robots.

Platinum Plating on Semiconductors:-

Platinum is an extremely rare and expensive material, even more expensive than gold. However, platinum is an exceptionally smooth-surfaced and durable material that protects against corrosion.

How does plating on semiconductors using Platinised Anodes?

•          The plating metal is connected to the positively charged electrode of an electrical circuit. This electrode is called the anode. (Platinum Plated Titanium Anode)

•          The work part is placed at the negatively charged electrode, called the cathode.

•          Both the plating metal and the substrate are immersed in an electrolytic solution called a bath.

•          After submersion, a DC current is supplied to the anode (Platinum Plated Titanium Anode). Oxidizing the atoms of the plating metal and dissolving them into the bath. At the cathode, the negative charge reduces the atoms, causing them to plate the substrate.

This general process defines most electroplating. However, semiconductor electroplating is much smaller in scale than the average electroplating processes. The chips in question are often less than an inch in diameter, and the circuits inside them consist of miniscule wires. Any errors, such as breakage or the addition of dust particles to the semiconductor, can result in a defective product. As a result, semiconductor electroplating involves a few extra precautions and considerations in order to ensure the quality of the finished product.

Platinized titanium anode is a layer of platinum on titanium substrate. It is lasting, non-consumable and insoluble in the electrolyte, it is widely used in electroforming, electroplating and hard chrome plating field.

Tiaano manufactures platinized titanium anode by adopting Electro deposition process to get a dense wear-resistant layer of platinum coating. The anode surface is changed to improve adhesion of platinum and to significantly improve uniformity of coating or plating thickness. Also reduce the plating porosity imparting greater acid resistance to the anode. This platinum plated titanium anode can be fabricated into Plate, rod, sheet, mesh and other customized shape to meet the special needs.

Tiaano offers Platinum Plated titanium electrodes for water ionizer for decades. These platinized titanium electrodes are reverse polarity. They are double automatic reverse cleaning, which decrease scales buildup and increase the longevity of water ionizer. The platinum is plated or coated by plating process and then baked to ensure the coating is smoothly and evenly across the entire electrodes.

The vital component of a water ionizer is its plates or mesh (electrodes). Electrodes are immersed in the water and send positive DC voltage into one side of the ionizer to make acid water. Negative into the other side to make alkaline water. By good water ionizer electrode, it may increase the electrolysis efficiency.

The best water to drink is alkalized or ionized water, which is produced by running normal tap water over a positive and a negative electrode. This creates positive and negative ions in the water that are then separated creating two different waters. One that is alkaline and one that is acidic.

The Niobium is the anode electrode made of Niobium which is having the coating or Plating of platinum. Platinum is used on the surface as a primary anode material due to its excellent corrosion resistance under anodic conditions coupled with its ability to pass current in all electrolytes. The corrosion resistance of platinum manifests itself in its low consumption rate. Its major disadvantage is its high cost, thus making it clear that it is most desirable to use as little platinum as is necessary. In order to restrict the amount of platinum used and to maintain an anode of some structural integrity, it is necessary to use some type of substrate material.

Both titanium and niobium have the ability to withstand anodic conditions, and both possess unique advantages and disadvantages as a substrate for platinum.

The major advantage of titanium is its low cost, particularly when considering its lower density. A disadvantage of titanium is its poor conductivity; approximately 5 times less than niobium and 50 times less than copper. Low conductivity makes titanium poorly suited for long wire lengths and restricts its use to larger diameter, shorter anodes.

The use of niobium as a substrate to platinum eliminates many of the problems with titanium. Although its conductivity is higher than that of titanium, it is often still too low for use in small diameters and long lengths. The principal advantage of niobium is its relatively high voltage potential.

Material Considerations in Platinum Anode Design:-

Niobium (Nb): High cost, high breakdown potential, fair conductivity.

Titanium (Ti): Low cost, low breakdown potential, poor conductivity.

Platinum (Pt): High corrosion resistance, high cost, good conductivity.
