Lead is used for anodes with hexavalent chromium baths. Lead chromate is manufactured during electroplating. Lead Anodes are manufactured from metals exhibiting the highest purity attainable, thus resulting in a dramatic reduction in sludging. Sludging is reduced because all metallic impurities and non-metallic oxides and sulfides are removed by a proprietary manufacturing process prior to casting or extruding. All anodes are drilled and tapped to accept a 3/8" diameter, 16 threads/inch hooks. For each pound of Lead Anodes replaced, multiply by 1.56 to calculate the quantity of lead compound manufactured.

Applications

• The Lead Anodes used in the chromic acid tank
• Lead Anode is used in Lead Acid Batteries.
• Plating nugget anodes are also available for basket plating applications.
• Lead Anodes are ideally suited for re-flow processing of printed circuit     boards.
• They are also used extensively as an Etch resistant material.
