Applications

Titanium anodes for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) are MMO coated titanium electrodes that deliver protective current to a buried or submerged structure without dissolving. They have largely replaced consumable anodes in ICCP because the titanium substrate is dimensionally stable and long-lived. This guide covers coating choice by environment, the forms used, and what to […]

An MMO coated titanium anode is a titanium substrate coated with a mixed metal oxide layer, also called a dimensionally stable anode (DSA). The titanium base gives mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, and the oxide coating carries the electrochemical reaction without the anode dissolving. This guide covers the coatings, substrate, forms and applications, and what

When a retail fixture is described as titanium, it usually does not mean the part is made of titanium. In most display cases, counters and shopfitting hardware, the word points to a thin titanium-based coating on stainless steel, applied to get a gold, rose, champagne or black color that resists scratching. Solid titanium does turn

Titanium fasteners are considered when corrosion resistance, low mass or high specific strength matters. Grade 2 (UNS R50400) is commonly evaluated for corrosion-led duties, while Grade 5 / Ti-6Al-4V (UNS R56400) is evaluated for higher-load bolts and studs. For general-use inch-series fasteners, ASTM F468 covers specified bolts, cap screws and studs, while ASTM F467 covers

Titanium is selected for marine and offshore equipment because its oxide film resists seawater and chloride attack under most service conditions. Grade 2 titanium is the usual starting point for seawater service; Grade 7 or Grade 12 may be reviewed for hotter chloride, brine or crevice-prone designs.
