Commercially, they are commonly available as:
Rectangular titanium anode baskets
Cylindrical titanium anode baskets
99.6% commercially pure titanium grade 2
Diameter ranges from 2.5” to 5”
Length ranges from 12” to 60”
With 6”-long hooks
Some titanium manufacturers specialize in custom-designed titanium anode baskets that come in other shapes and sizes.
Reel to reel plating titanium anode baskets
Conforming anode baskets
Spiral titanium anode baskets
Other special application anode baskets
Titanium anode baskets are frequently used in metal plating, electroplating, or chrome plating in the aircraft, military, medical, and marine applications because of titanium anodes’ constant anode-cathode distance all throughout the anodes’ lifetime, unlike other anodes that experience increase in inter-electrode gap over time.
