Flat Stainless Steel Electrode XXL

Product information "Flat Stainless Steel Electrode XXL"

Flat Stainless Steel Electrode XXL (BMG-031-XXL)

Short Description

The Flat Stainless Steel Electrode XXL is an extra-wide, flat anode made from durable stainless steel, designed for electroplating large, flat surfaces. It provides a broad active contact area that improves current distribution in the electrolyte and significantly reduces plating time — ideal for large signs, panels, dials or rims. 


Product Description

This electrode is manufactured from high-quality, chemically resistant stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. Its extra-wide geometry (e.g., approx. 5 × 5 × 14 cm) delivers an expansive active surface area in the electrolyte, promoting more uniform current distribution and enhanced deposition efficiency. This results in faster and more consistent metal plating compared to narrower electrodes. 

The stainless steel construction also ensures mechanical strength and long service life even under repeated use across diverse electroplating applications. It is suitable for various plating techniques depending on the electrolyte and process type, including bath, pen and pad plating


Typical Applications

  • Electroplating large surface areas

  • Plating of signs, panels, rims, dials and flat decorative parts

  • Workshop, laboratory and industrial electroplating

  • Decorative and functional metal finishes


Key Benefits

  • Extra-wide active surface: promotes even current coverage

  • Reduced plating time compared with narrower electrodes

  • Chemically resistant stainless steel: durable and reliable

  • Versatile: suitable for bath, pen and pad plating

  • Easy to incorporate into existing electroplating setups


Usage Instructions

  1. Preparation: Clean and degrease the surfaces to be plated; activate where necessary.

  2. Placement: Position the electrode in the electrolyte to provide broad coverage relative to the workpiece.

  3. Electrical Connection: Connect the electrode as the anode (positive terminal) and the workpiece as the cathode (negative terminal).

  4. Plating: Adjust voltage and current according to the specific plating electrolyte to achieve even, high-quality deposits.

  5. Maintenance: After use, clean the electrode to remove deposits and extend service life.


Conclusion

The Flat Stainless Steel Electrode XXL is a practical, robust solution for electroplating large, flat surfaces. Its wide contact area, corrosion resistance and versatile use make it well suited for hobbyists, workshop professionals and industrial electroplating applications alik
