Wire Andoes

Our wire anodes are copper cored titanium wire with a mixed metal oxide coating. The mixed metal oxide is a crystalline, electrically conductive coating that activates the titanium and enables it to function as an anode. The anodes are manufactured in two diameters: 1.5 mm and 3.0 mm.


When applied on titanium, the coating has an extremely low consumption rate measured in terms of milligrams per year. As a result of this low consumption rate, the wire diameter remains nearly constant during the life of the anode.


The low consumption rate of the mixed metal oxide coating at the recommended operating current densities results in projected anode lifetimes from 15 to 20 years. Longer or shorter lifetimes may be obtained by varying the current output per foot of wire. This information in demonstrated in the accompanying graphs, which relate amperes per lineal foot to lifetime in years.

Applications

Anode Coating

The coating used on wire is suitable for most cathodic protection applications, but output varies with application. Our mixed metal oxide coating demonstrates a very high chemical stability, even in environments with low pH values. Unlike other impressed current anodes, the coating is not affected by the generation of chlorine.

Features and Benefits

Reliability

Our wire anodes are coated in the United States. They are lightweight, rugged, and flexible. Our wire anodes have been used successfully in canistered form and in tank bottom protection systems. In choosing wire anodes, you have selected the most durable and reliable material from the originator of the mixed metal oxide anode.

Quality Assurance Ordering Information

From the application of the coating to the spooling of the wire, our attention to quality sets it apart. The coating undergoes stringent quality control examination by SEP, X-ray and adhesion test methods throughout the coating process to assure proper thickness and application. Attention to each detail of the quality control process assures you a superior, reliable product. Wire anodes are available from us. When ordering wire anodes, please specify:
