Platinum is an excellent anode material due to its high conductivity and low consumption rate. Due to its high cost, Platinum is made practical for use by electroplating a thin layer over a high corrosion resistance substrate. Since Titanium, Niobium and Tantalum substrates are having the ability to form an insulating oxide film under anodic conditions, they are all most commonly used as anode in ICCP.

 

The usual thickness of the platinum coating is approximately 2.5 microns, however, this coating thickness should be increased to 5.0 microns for harsher environments. The base metal is available in a wide variety of standard shapes - rods, tubes, mesh, etc. - which can be fabricated into non-metallic mounts for attachment to the structure to be cathodic protection.

 

The advantage of Platinised titanium anodes is that they can be operated at high current densities with very low consumption rates.
