Texas Instruments Offers

Platinum-Clad Anodes

For Corrosion Protection —Literature Available

Texas Instruments has devel- oped a platinum-clad niobium ma- terial that has been demonstrated to provide excellent protection for steel structures exposed to corro- sive conditions such as underwa- ter (both sea and fresh water) or underground environments.

The material works in an im- pressed current protection system (ICP). It is available in three forms—mesh, wire, and probe— depending on application condi- tions.

The mesh material has been successfully demonstrated through years of use to protect underwater pier structures. The probe mate- rial is designed for protection of vessels containing or transporting water, as well as underwater structures. The wire material has been shown to successfully pre- vent corrosion of steel reinforcing bars in concrete structures.

Texas Instruments clad plati- num anodes offer significant ad- vantages. The cladding process provides a coating that is uni- formly thick, non-porous and has excellent bond integrity.

Experience has shown that the combination of platinum clad on niobium is well suited to im- pressed current protection appli- cations. In service, the platinum remains electrochemically active while the substrate forms an ad- hesive oxide film that is corrosion resistant. The anodes are said to have higher current-carrying ca- pacity and longer life than designs using other anode materials.

Texas Instruments produces platinum-clad anode materials us- ing a solid phase, cold-bonding process. The material is clad at a heavy gauge and subsequently cold rolled to a finished thickness. The composite structure has a uniform, non-porous platinum surface that interfaces directly with the niob- ium substrate. Because the metals are joined at the atomic level without adhesives, solder or braz- ing alloy, they are void-free and cannot be separated.
