Curved Platinum Electrode

Curved Platinum Electrode (BMG-034-2) Short Description The Curved Platinum Electrode is a premium, shaped electrode with a platinized surface specifically designed for electroplating applications on convex and concave surfaces. Its curved profile delivers larger contact area, improved current distribution and faster, more even plating on contoured workpieces. Product Description This electrode features a titanium base with a fine platinum coating, offering excellent chemical inertness, high resistance to corrosion in many plating baths, and minimal contamination — ideal for brush or pen plating with precious metals such as gold, palladium and rhodium. Its curved geometry increases the active contact area against curved objects, ensuring that the plating current is distributed more uniformly and consistently across complex shapes.  Platinized titanium electrodes are widely regarded as superior to stainless steel or graphite ones because they produce cleaner, high-quality coatings, have excellent longevity and are compatible with most plating solutions, provided highly chloridic or fluoridic electrolytes are avoided.  Typical Applications Electroplating of curved metal objects (e.g., rings, reflectors, concave components) Gold, silver and precious metal finishing on contoured surfaces Repairs and detail plating on curved industrial or decorative parts Use in hobby, workshop, lab and production electroplating environments Key Benefits Curved profile: fits concave/convex shapes for improved contact Large active area: better current distribution and uniform plating Platinum coating: chemically inert and ideal for high-quality finishes Long service life: durable electrode performance with repeated use Versatile: suitable for various precious and specialty metal electrolytes Usage Instructions Preparation: Clean and degrease the workpiece; activate surface if required. Placement: Align the electrode so that it maximally contacts the curved surfaces. Plating: Set appropriate voltage and current according to the plating solution. Operation: Move the electrode evenly over the surface, leveraging the curved design for consistent contact. Maintenance: After plating, gently clean the electrode to remove residual deposits — avoid abrasive materials to preserve the platinum layer. Conclusion The Curved Platinum Electrode is a professional-grade solution for electroplating on curved and complex shapes, delivering uniform, high-quality results thanks to its increased contact area and platinum-enhanced surface.
