MMO Ribbon Anode

MMO anode ribbon is a layer of precious metal oxide with electrocatalytic activity coated on the surface of titanium substrate. It is usually used for cathodic protection of ground tank bottom plates and reinforced concrete structures. It is usually laid vertically with titanium conductive strip.
Product Description

Product Introduction

Precious metal oxide anode is composed of a layer of metal oxide with electrocatalytic activity (oxides of metals such as ruthenium, iridium, and titanium) covering a titanium substrate (ASTMB 265 grade titanium). The oxide coating has low polarization and extremely low consumption rate. By adjusting the composition of the oxide layer, it can be adapted to different environments, such as seawater, freshwater, and soil media. Due to the advantages that other anodes do not have, precious metal oxide anode has become the most ideal and promising auxiliary anode material currently available.

Manufacturing & Process Flow

The MMO Ribbon Anode is produced under precise control using high-purity titanium base materials and advanced coating technology.

Production Flow:

  1. Material Selection – Only titanium plates meeting ASTM B265 (Grade 1 or 2) standards are chosen.
  2. Surface Preparation – Titanium surfaces undergo degreasing, pickling, and sandblasting for maximum adhesion.
  3. MMO Coating Application – A mixed metal oxide layer (typically RuO₂ + IrO₂ or IrO₂ + Ta₂O₅) is evenly applied.
  4. High-Temperature Sintering – Coating is bonded permanently to the titanium surface through thermal treatment.
  5. Precision Cutting & Shaping – Ribbon is processed to required width and thickness.
  6. Final Testing – Coating uniformity, adhesion strength, and electrical performance are tested.
  7. Packaging & Storage – Completed anodes are sealed to prevent contamination before delivery.

Each production stage is handled by experienced technicians to ensure long-term stability and consistency.

Quality Control & Inspection​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Quality assurance is central to Shaanxi Chuanghui Daye’s manufacturing philosophy. All MMO ribbon anodes undergo comprehensive inspections to ensure compliance with international standards.

Inspection Items Include:

  • Chemical Composition Testing: Confirms titanium purity and coating composition.
  • Coating Thickness Measurement: Ensures even distribution and strong adhesion.
  • Adhesion & Peel Test: Guarantees coating durability during extended operation.
  • Electrochemical Testing: Measures current density, potential, and consumption rate.
  • Dimensional Accuracy: Verifies ribbon width, thickness, and straightness.
  • Corrosion Resistance Test: Simulates seawater and soil environments.

All testing is performed under ISO 9001:2015 quality management requirements, with traceable documentation for every batch.
