Why Use a Stainless Steel Electrode?

Stainless steel electrodes are primarily used for pretreatment and cleaning processes. They provide reliable electrical conductivity and excellent resistance to many electroplating solutions.

The 4 mm diameter offers superior precision when working on intricate parts and allows accurate treatment of small surfaces.

Ideal for:

  • Electrolytic degreasing

  • Surface activation

  • Dechroming

  • Chromium plating

  • Pretreatment before electroplating


Typical Applications

Perfect for:

  • Jewellery

  • Watches

  • Precision engineering

  • Model making

  • Electronics

  • Restoration

  • Surface activation

  • Electrolytic degreasing

  • Dechroming

  • Chromium plating

  • Tank plating

  • Pen plating

  • Brush (tampon) plating


Material Properties

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the electrode offers:

  • Excellent corrosion resistance

  • Good electrical conductivity

  • High mechanical strength

  • Low wear

  • Long service life


Application Instructions

Before use:

  • Thoroughly clean and degrease the workpiece

  • Use a suitable electrolyte

  • Set the recommended voltage and current according to the electrolyte specifications

Important Note:

For precious metal plating such as gold, silver, palladium or platinum, we recommend using a graphite or platinum electrode, as these do not contaminate the electrolyte with metal ions. Stainless steel electrodes are primarily intended for activation, cleaning, dechroming and chromium plating processes.
