Product Introduction
Titanium Clad Copper Bar is a composite material consisting of a copper core metallurgically bonded with a titanium outer layer.
It combines the excellent electrical conductivity of copper with the superior corrosion resistance of titanium, making it an ideal material for harsh electrochemical environments.
Titanium-clad copper bars are widely used in the chlor-alkali industry, electroplating systems, electrolyzers, and electrochemical equipment, particularly as conductive connectors for titanium anodes.
Key Advantages
Excellent Electrical Conductivity
The copper core provides high electrical conductivity, ensuring efficient current transmission in electrochemical processes.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
The titanium outer layer protects the copper core from corrosion in aggressive electrolytes such as chlorine, hypochlorite, and acidic solutions.
Long Service Life
Compared with traditional graphite anodes, titanium-based systems using titanium-clad copper conductors can significantly extend operational life and reduce maintenance frequency.
High Mechanical Strength
The metallurgical bonding between titanium and copper ensures excellent bonding strength and mechanical stability during long-term operation.
Energy Efficiency
Lower electrical resistance and stable performance help reduce energy consumption in electrolytic systems.
Environmental Benefits
Longer service life reduces replacement frequency and material waste, improving the overall sustainability of the electrochemical process.
