Product Introduction

 

Our titanium clad copper anode rod adopts high-energy explosion welding + multi-pass hot rolling metallurgical composite forming process. Outer seamless cladding: Grade2 pure titanium (UNS R50400); inner core: C11000 OFHC high-purity oxygen-free electrolytic copper (Cu ≥99.99%)Alibaba.co.... Interface shear strength ≥135MPa, 100% ultrasonic inspection without interlayer delamination or gaps, fully compliant with ASTM B152 copper standard, ASTM B265 titanium standard and GB/T 12769 bi-metal clad material specification. It is the standard round suspension conductive rod on the anode positive side of automatic VCP vertical continuous PCB copper plating lines, two core application scenarios:

 

● Suspension & conductive hanger for Ir-Ta / Ru-Ti MMO insoluble coated titanium anode plates.

● Main suspension rod for phosphor copper ball loaded titanium basket soluble anode. The internal high-conductivity copper core minimizes large DC voltage drop along the whole rod length, guarantees uniform current output for all anode assemblies; seamless Grade2 titanium outer layer directly contacts acidic sulfuric copper plating liquid, completely isolates copper matrix from corrosive electrolyte, fundamentally eliminates oxidation, copper powder shedding and bath contamination defects of solid pure copper round rods.

Difference comparison vs other products:

● Solid pure copper rod: high conductivity but rapid oxidation in acid bath, copper powder causes PCB pinhole defects, short service life;

● Solid pure titanium round rod: ultra-high resistivity, severe voltage drop leading to uneven PCB copper thickness;

● Cathode Ti-Cu flying target composite bar/plate: negative pole PCB hanging fixture, opposite electrode polarity & installation position;

● MMO coated titanium anode plate: catalytic electrolytic electrode with precious metal oxide coating, only matched with Ti-Cu anode rod as conductive support, different core function;

● Lead alloy / steel base anode: poor conductivity, continuous metal ion dissolution, cannot be used as high-current anode conductive carrier. Support CNC cutting, end milling, drilling and bending processing; one end is milled to strip titanium cladding and expose pure copper core for copper-copper low-resistance docking with rectifier copper busbar, avoiding titanium-titanium contact electric spark risk. Stable service life reaches 4–7 years under 24h non-stop high-current VCP plating production, far exceeding solid copper anode rods. Full customization of outer diameter, total length, titanium cladding thickness, exposed copper terminal length per customer anode frame & titanium basket drawings. We have over 10 years experience manufacturing Ti-Cu round anode rods for mainstream VCP plating equipment (JET, KINWA, MEC, EVERITECH), widely exported to HDI, FPC, rigid multilayer PCB manufacturers worldwide. Embedded Core Keywords: Titanium Clad Copper Anode Rod, Grade2 Ti-Cu explosion composite round anode hanger, VCP MMO insoluble anode suspension rod, phosphor copper titanium basket conductive rod, acid-resistant low-resistance PCB plating positive composite round bar.

Outer Grade2 seamless titanium cladding fully separates copper core from acidic corrosive plating liquid, completely eradicates solid copper rod oxidation & copper powder shedding, drastically reduces PCB reject rate caused by pinholes and surface blemishes.

02/

Explosion hot rolling integral bonding, tight interface without interlayer separation risk Adopt high-energy explosion welding first to realize atomic-level metallurgical fusion between titanium and copper, then multi-pass hot rolling to compact composite layers and control cladding thickness tolerance ±0.05mm. Interface shear strength ≥135MPa, withstand long-term vibration, thermal cycle fluctuation and large DC current impact without delamination; each finished Ti-Cu anode round rod passes 100% ultrasonic flaw detection before delivery to eliminate hidden interlayer gaps.

03/

Far longer service life & sharply reduced anode system maintenance frequency vs solid copper rod Solid pure copper anode round rod needs disassembly, polishing and re-passivation every 3–6 months, and will be severely corroded & thinned after only 2–3 years requiring full anode frame replacement. Ti-Cu clad anode rod's titanium outer layer will not corrode in acidic copper plating bath, only simple regular surface cleaning required, service life extended to 4–7 years, cutting anode conductive component replacement frequency by over 60%, saving massive labor time and plating solution replacement cost.

Professional Consultation Q&A

 

Q1: What is the core difference between Titanium Clad Copper Anode Rod, solid pure copper anode round rod, cathode Ti-Cu flying target composite parts and MMO coated titanium anode plates?

A1: Titanium Clad Copper Anode Rod is positive anode-side round suspension conductive carrier for MMO anode & titanium basket; cathode Ti-Cu flying target composite bar/plate is negative cathode conductive fixture for hanging PCB boards, different electrode polarity and installation position. Solid pure copper anode round rod has high conductivity but easy oxidation shedding copper powder to pollute plating liquid, short service life. MMO anode plates are catalytic positive electrolytic electrodes with precious metal oxide coating for oxidation reaction, only matched with Ti-Cu clad round rod as conductive support, completely different product function. Lead alloy & steel base anode have poor conductivity and metal ion dissolution risk, cannot be used as anode conductive suspension rod.

Q2: Why choose Ti-Cu clad copper round rod as anode suspension rod instead of single solid copper or solid titanium round rod?

A2: Single solid titanium round rod has ultra-high resistivity, severe voltage drop under large DC current, resulting in inconsistent PCB copper thickness across the whole tank; solid pure copper round rod directly contacts acidic plating liquid, rapidly oxidizes to produce copper powder causing massive PCB pinhole defects, requires frequent polishing maintenance and short service life. Ti-Cu composite anode rod simultaneously solves both two core defects, greatly reducing full-cycle operation cost of VCP production lines.

Q3: Will titanium-copper composite interface delaminate after long-term plating vibration and large DC current operation?

A3: Our product adopts explosion + hot rolling atomic-level metallurgical bonding, interface shear strength ≥135MPa, passed long-term vibration fatigue test and cold-hot thermal cycle aging test, no delamination risk under standard VCP production working condition; every finished Ti-Cu anode rod passes 100% ultrasonic inspection before delivery to eliminate internal interlayer gap hidden danger.

Q4: Can we customize outer diameter, total length and titanium cladding thickness of titanium clad copper anode rod?

A4: Full personalized OEM customization supported. Outer diameter, total length, outer titanium cladding thickness, end exposed copper conductive terminal length can be fully adjusted according to customer VCP anode frame & titanium basket CAD drawing dimensions.
