Flat Stainless Steel Electrode

Product information "Flat Stainless Steel Electrode"

Flat Stainless Steel Electrode (BMG-031)

Short Description

The Flat Stainless Steel Electrode is a versatile, large-surface electrode made from chemically resistant stainless steel, designed for electroplating applications. Its broad flat shape ensures even current distribution and efficient metal deposition across larger surfaces.

Coating Area 4 x 4 cm 


Product Description

This electrode is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. The flat and wide design provides a large active surface area, improving current distribution in the electrolyte and helping to produce more uniform coatings. This reduces localized current density spikes that smaller or round electrodes can cause.

The flat stainless steel electrode is well-suited for bath, pen and pad plating, particularly when plating larger, flat parts such as signs, plates, housings or any workpieces requiring a broad contact area.


Typical Applications

  • Electroplating with bath, pen or pad plating methods

  • Decorative and functional metal coatings

  • Plating of large, flat workpieces

  • Workshop and laboratory electroplating

  • Surface preparation and cleaning prior to plating


Key Benefits

  • Large active surface: promotes even current distribution

  • Chemical resistance: suitable for many electrolytes

  • Mechanical stability: durable for repeated use

  • Versatile: suitable for diverse applications

  • Easy integration: compatible with standard electroplating setups


Usage Instructions

  1. Preparation: Clean and degrease the workpiece thoroughly; activate if required.

  2. Placement: Position the flat electrode in the electrolyte to provide broad coverage relative to the cathode (workpiece).

  3. Electrical setup: Connect the electrode as the anode (positive terminal); the workpiece serves as the cathode (negative terminal).

  4. Plating: Adjust voltage and current according to the specific electrolyte’s requirements to achieve even deposition.

  5. Maintenance: After use, clean the electrode to remove residue and maintain good conductivity.


Conclusion

The Flat Stainless Steel Electrode delivers consistent, broad surface coverage and reliable performance in electroplating applications. Its combination of a large active area and chemical resilience makes it a practical choice for hobbyists, workshops and professional electroplating environments alike
