Product information "Flat Stainless Steel Electrode XL"
Flat Stainless Steel Electrode XL (BMG‑031‑XL)
Short Description
The Flat Stainless Steel Electrode XL is a large‑area anode made from high‑quality stainless steel, designed for electroplating applications on wide, flat surfaces. It provides a very broad active contact area that promotes even current distribution in the electrolyte, enabling fast, stable and repeatable metal plating results.
Product Description
Constructed from corrosion‑resistant stainless steel, this electrode offers excellent mechanical durability even under repeated use. Its extra wide, flat design is ideal for efficiently plating larger workpieces such as signs, panels, dials or flat decorative parts. Compared to narrower electrodes, the XL electrode delivers better current distribution and plating uniformity on broad surfaces, which is especially beneficial for bath, pen and pad plating applications.
While noble metal‑coated electrodes like platinum provide chemical inertness and minimal electrolyte contamination, stainless steel electrodes offer a cost‑effective, sturdy solution for many plating tasks where complete inertness is not required.
Typical Applications
-
Electroplating large flat surfaces
-
Bath, pen and pad plating systems
-
Surface preparation and cleaning before plating
-
Workshop, lab and production electroplating
-
Decorative and functional metal finishes
Key Benefits
-
Extra‑large active surface area: supports even current distribution
-
Time and efficiency gains: plating broad areas faster than small electrodes
-
Durable stainless steel: corrosion and chemical resistance
-
Versatile: compatible with many electroplating techniques
-
Easy integration: works with standard electroplating setups
Usage Instructions
-
Preparation: Clean and degrease the workpiece thoroughly.
-
Placement: Position the electrode in the electrolyte to broadly cover the work area.
-
Electrical Setup: Connect the electrode as the anode (positive terminal); the workpiece serves as the cathode.
-
Plating: Adjust current and voltage according to your plating solution’s requirements to achieve uniform coverage.
-
Aftercare: Clean both electrode and plated workpiece to remove residual electrolyte.
Conclusion
The Flat Stainless Steel Electrode XL is a robust and versatile plating accessory for large, flat surface electroplating. Its wide active area, durable construction and ease of use make it suitable for hobbyists, workshop professionals and industrial plating environments alike.
