Titanium anode rods have become a game-changer in water heater and industrial corrosion protection. Unlike traditional magnesium or aluminum rods, titanium anode rods last 3–5x longer, resist extreme pH conditions (1–13), and eliminate tank corrosion. At Baoji Highstar Titanium Metal Co., Ltd, we engineer ruthenium-coated titanium anode rods that deliver 15+ years of service in aggressive environments.

How Titanium Anode Rods Work: Science & Engineering

Titanium anode rods operate via sacrificial protection, where the rod corrodes instead of the tank. Here’s why titanium excels:

  • Superior Conductivity: 3.0×10? S/m electron transfer efficiency
  • Passivation Layer: Self-healing oxide film prevents dissolution
  • Ru/Ir Coating: Boosts catalytic activity by 200% vs. uncoated rods
