Titanium anode use and maintenance
After the pickling of the anode substrate is completed, during the processing or use process, wear clean gloves to clamp the ends or edges of the anode, try not to touch the coating part, and protect the coating surface from any pollution or scratches by foreign objects . If it is scratched or damaged, the anode will first corrode from the damaged part during the electrolysis process, thus affecting the use effect of the whole anode.
The electrolyte should be stable, especially not containing hydrogen ions and fluorine ions, otherwise the titanium substrate will be severely corroded.
Before the electrolyte enters the electrolytic cell, a filter device must be added, and it must not contain metal particles larger than 0.1mm, so as to avoid short-circuiting of the anode and cathode due to excessive accumulation.
The cathode attachment should not be too thick, so as to avoid short-circuit breakdown of cathode and anode caused by too small electrode spacing or the formation of pointed metal.
Reasonably adjust the distance between cathode and anode, generally 5 to 25mm.
Try to avoid the use of conductors, which may easily cause the coating to fall off and affect the service life.
When shutting down, try not to soak in the solution in power-off mode, and add a small current of about 5A to protect the cathode plate.
When the electrolyte is working, the temperature should not be too high, and the reasonable temperature is 25-40 degrees Celsius.
Pay attention to the current density during work and keep it within 2000A per square meter. If the current is too large, it will cause violent reaction and affect the service life of the electrode.
