MMO Ribbon Anode for AST Bottoms, Concrete and Pipelines: Grade 1 Titanium Substrate for ICCP Systems

Titanium parts for corrosion protection jobs come from Shaanxi Chuanghui Daye Metal Material Co., Ltd. The MMO Ribbon Anode is one of them. An ASTM B265 Grade 1 titanium expanded mesh base makes up the core. A mixed metal oxide coating covers it. Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) sends current through the ribbon to steel in above ground storage tank bottoms, reinforced concrete, and buried pipelines. That path keeps resistance low. Width, thickness and length get confirmed for every project. So give us the structure type and the ribbon length when you ask for a quotation. Add your current requirement too.

What Is Anode?

The ribbon is a titanium strip, and a layer of precious metal oxide covers it. That oxide layer is electrocatalytically active. Cathodic protection of ground tank bottom plates and reinforced concrete structures is where the product usually goes.

A titanium conductor bar (titanium conductive strip) is used together with it. Three common problems go away with the ribbon format. Current runs unevenly in high-resistivity soil. Sacrificial anodes have a short life in reinforced concrete. Installation under large tank bottoms is hard.

Mesh Design and Material

The base material is expanded ASTM B265 Grade 1 titanium mesh. It comes in ribbon form. For the same weight, that fine diamond pattern gives you more surface area. Current also spreads better along the ribbon because of it.

The coating is a mixed metal oxide. You can get Iridium-Tantalum, Ruthenium-Iridium, and Ruthenium-Titanium. A cracked-mud surface structure like this one adds active area. Silicon iron anodes weigh a lot. This product does not carry that weight penalty.

Specifications

Width(mm)	Thickness(mm)	Length(m)	Current output(mA/m)	Expected life(a)
6.35	0.635	152/155	17	50
6.35	0.635	152/155	42	50

Those numbers come from the supplier's technical parameter data. Width is missing there. So are thickness and length. Get those confirmed in writing before you order.

Above Ground Storage Tank Bottoms

The ribbon can be used as a grid under tank floors. The ribbons are spot-welded perpendicularly to titanium conductor bars to form a redundant mesh.

The mesh sits in the sand layer directly beneath the tank floor plates. It is intended to distribute current across the plate and help control corrosion from the soil side.

Be used in a wide range of industries.

Seawater electrolysis

Marine aquaculture

Chlor-alkali industry

Cathodic protection

Electroplating industry

Non-ferrous metal electrolytic extraction

Reinforced Concrete Structures

Chloride intrusion hits parking garages. Bridges and marine piling take damage too. De-icing salts are usually behind it, and so is seawater. Rebar in these structures gets its protection from the MMO Ribbon Anode. Fitting takes little work. Slot the ribbon into cut grooves, or lay it down in a new concrete pour.

Every rebar cage has a geometry of its own. Low weight and flexibility let the ribbon follow that shape without trouble.

Pipelines in Fine Sand and High Resistivity Soil

Sandy ground often makes deep groundbeds expensive or impractical. One alternative: plow the ribbon in parallel to the pipeline. This linear layout is meant to counter shielding effects and high soil resistance, so CP current still reaches the pipe surface.

Quality Checks to Request Before Ordering

The biggest risk when you buy ribbon anodes is a coating that fails early. Which of these checks get run on your order? Ask the supplier. Then ask for the reports.

Accelerated life test: The coating sits in an acidic electrolyte here, most often H2SO4, and the current density is high. How well it resists delamination is what this test shows.
XRF analysis: Nothing gets destroyed in this check. Oxide thickness is measured, and so are the Ir/Ta ratio and the precious metal loading. A coating that has thinned will show up in the results.
Adhesion test: Bend the ribbon 180 degrees around a mandrel. The cross-cut method works too. The coating has to hold either way. Cracking counts as a fail. So does spalling, and so does any detachment.
SEM/EDX inspection: An SEM/EDX scan shows the cracked-mud surface pattern. That pattern provides the active area.
Dimension and resistance check: Here the width gets measured. Thickness and conductivity are checked as well. On long runs, this keeps voltage drop inside the limits set by the calculation.
Visual inspection: Look the surface over. It has to be free of oil and grease, with no bare spots.

MMO Ribbon Anode Buying Guide for B2B Projects

Get the XRF results before you place an order. That way you can check whether the precious metal content meets the specification. A failed bend test can be a sign of poor surface preparation. A thermal decomposition issue can cause it too.

Send your project data with your MMO Ribbon Anode enquiry, including structure type, ribbon length and current requirement. Our team will confirm width, thickness and length against your voltage drop calculation.

FAQ

Q: What is the ribbon made of?

A: This is a Grade 1 titanium mesh ribbon. A mixed metal oxide layer coats it. Inside an ICCP system, protective current gets a low-resistance path to steel through that layer.

Q: How does it differ from rod or tubular anodes?

A: The mesh ribbon uses a fine diamond pattern that raises surface area relative to weight, and it avoids the weight burden of silicon iron anodes.

Q: Which checks are used for coating quality?

A: Accelerated life testing is one test. XRF analysis is another. Adhesion bend testing gets done too. SEM/EDX inspection is also done, along with dimension checks and resistance checks. Visual inspection is included.

Q: Where can This product be used?

A: It can be used for AST bottoms, reinforced concrete in garages, bridges and marine piling, and buried pipelines in fine sand or high resistivity soil.

Q: What design life is listed?

A: The technical data lists a design life of 20-100 years. Confirm the expected life for your application and conditions with the supplier.

Q: How do I request a quote?

A: Email info@chdymetal.com with your structure type, ribbon length and current requirement.
