SS316 Copper Cathode Plate – High-Performance Corrosion-Resistant Electrode Solution
Product Overview:
The SS316 Copper Cathode Plate is a precision-engineered solution designed for industrial electrorefining and electrowinning processes. Combining the strength and corrosion resistance of a stainless steel 316 (SS316) core with the excellent electrical conductivity of high-purity copper, this composite cathode plate offers extended service life and improved performance in harsh electrochemical environments.
Key Features:
Dual-Metal Construction: A solid SS316 stainless steel base provides mechanical strength and excellent resistance to acids, chlorides, and industrial solvents, while a bonded copper surface ensures low-resistance current flow and uniform deposition.
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: The SS316 core resists pitting and crevice corrosion in aggressive electrolyte solutions, reducing maintenance and downtime.
High Conductivity Copper Layer: Optimized for efficient electrical conductivity, the copper surface ensures consistent electrochemical performance across the entire cathode plate.
Dimensional Precision: Manufactured to exacting tolerances for seamless integration with standard cathode hanger bars and tank house configurations.
Custom Fabrication Available: Thickness, width, length, and copper layer bonding can be customized to meet specific plant requirements or proprietary designs.
