Particulate anode materials, such as Vale ‘S’ Nickel Pellet, Vale ‘P’ Nickel Pellet and Vale Nickel Plating Chips, all need to be contained in titanium mesh anode baskets. These baskets are then suspended in the process tank where current can be fed through the anode rails.
Hart Materials supplies titanium anode baskets made to individual customer requirements, from the standard rectangular design to more specialised shapes such as cylinders.
It is vital that the nickel pieces are enclosed effectively with anode bags to prevent the small particles produced by the anode dissolution from getting into the process tank and causing deposit roughness.
Anode bag quality is essential in ensuring the best possible results during the nickel electroforming process. Hart Materials supplies high quality bags manufactured from polypropylene, cotton or terylene, in sizes and shapes tailored to suit customer requirements.
