Lead anode :

  • We at SUPERCON INDIA are Lead anode manufacturer used in chrome plating baths.

  • We have made our name in our industry as leading Lead anode supplier and manufacturer in India.

  • Extruded Lead anodes are most preferred due to dense internal structure , Long use life ,Uniform Current transmission.

  • Any shape and size, we can produce custom anodes as per your specification. 

  • Supercon India is manufacturer,supplier and exporter of lead anode ,lead tin anode ,Chrome anodes ,Hard Chrome plating anodes ,lead alloy anodes to countries like Australia , United Arab Emirates , Saudi Arabia,Singapore ,Malaysia , Nigeria ,Egypt ,Qatar etc.

Case Study I

Client problem - Using 7 meter long flat casted anodes having casting defects like porosity,Cracks. Anodes breaking after 6-7 months use due to casting defects as anode are prone to decompose first from anode area having cracks,voids,porosity etc.

Solution - Supplied extruded anode manufactured by using 400T hydraulic extrusion press. Benefits observed were dense structure,No cracks,No shrinkage porosity,Smooth surface etc

Case Study II

Client problem - Uneven plating thickness ,Chrome fill up,long cycle times etc due to use conventional tank anodes for Chromium plating of Jobs having diameter 200mm. Plating thickness requirement of 200-300 microns per side.

Solution - Supplied job conforming anode baskets. Client observed substantial reduction in uneven plating thickness. Cycle time was also reduced.Anode baskets are suitable for heavy chromium deposits due to good anode to cathode area ratio.

Hard Chrome Plating Anodes Manufacturer and Supplier

  • Anode is selected based on alloy composition ,shape and size of anode etc. Click here for more information on anodes selection criteria. 

  • Chrome Plating Anodes are made up of Lead Tin alloy.

  • We have manufactured Solid lead anodes and Lead Bonded Anodes upto 12,000 mm long with various cross section as per customer requirement.

  • Only Copper Hooks are used as it is the best conductor. Connection between Copper hook and lead alloy is perfectly integrated resulting in perfect current conductivity.

  • Only LME approved brands raw material is sourced for manufacturing Chrome Plating anodes.

  • We manufacturer anode by Extrusion and Casting process, but we are also specialists in Lead alloy Bonding on MS/Copper core.
  • Explore our Product Gallery for different types of anodes we manufacture.

  • Types of lead anodes we manufacture are :
  • Flat Corrugated Anodes 
  • Round Anodes
  • Hollow conforming anodes
  • Rossette Profile Anode
  • Find below a list of the raw metals that we alloy with to produce any configuration you require.
  • Anodes manufactured have uniform alloy composition and negligible segregation which is the most important factor in working cycle of anodes.

  • We manufacture anode with integrated EC grade copper hook fabricated according to bus bar shape in order to optimize current flow with a very good contact with Bus Bar / feeder.

  • Anodes are manufactured in an ISO 9001/QS 9000 certified facility and exceed all applicable industry specifications. They are made with copper hooks, the hooks can be plastisol coated or tinned.
  • If you have old anodes you can also opt for our service of recycling of anodes

Raw Material :
  • Find below a list of the raw metals that we alloy with to produce any configuration you require.

  • Lead (Pb):  Complies with ASTM B29- Corroding Grade Lead. (HZL-Vedanta )

  • Tin (Sn):  Complies ASTM B339 -Grade "A" Tin. - (Imported Malaysia Smelting Corporation ) 

Packing :

Lead anode are generally packed in wooden boxes for safe transport via road, ocean or air.

Lead anode :

  • A lead anode is a type of anode used in electroplating, where a thin layer of metal is deposited onto a metal object using electricity. 
  • The lead anode is connected to the positive terminal of a power supply and immersed in an electrolyte solution that contains ions of the metal being plated.
  • As electric current flows through the solution, metal ions from the solution are attracted to the lead anode and deposited onto the object being plated, which is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply.
  • Lead anodes are commonly used in electroplating applications because they are inexpensive and have good electrical conductivity. However, lead can be toxic, so it is important to handle lead anodes with care and dispose of them properly.
  • The lead anode is connected to the positive terminal of a power supply and immersed in an electrolyte solution that contains chromium ions.
  • As electric current flows through the solution, chromium ions are attracted to the chrome plating anode and deposited onto the metal object being plated, which is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply.
  •  
  • The anode is typically made of a lead-tin alloy, which is a mixture of lead and tin in varying proportions depending on the specific application.
  • Lead anodes are commonly used in applications where a highly resistant surface is required, such as in the plating of high-stress metals like steel. They are also used in the electrochemical treatment of wastewater and other types of wastewater treatment processes.
  • Proper safety measures should be taken when using lead-tin anodes, including wearing protective clothing and equipment and disposing of the anodes properly.
  • Supercon India‘sManagement System is in place conforming to ISO 9001:2015 with total commitment to health, safety and environmental standards.
