HSCI anode is made from the iron alloy which contains 14% to 18% silicon with excellent performance of acid and alkalis resistance. A porous and semi-conductive film of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) forms on the exterior of the anodes to reduce the rate of consumption. 

ASTM A518 Grade 3 alloy is particularly suited for electrolytes rich with chloride ions, where the level of chromium is elevated to enhance anode performance. 

Specification of High Silicon Cast Iron Anodes - Tubular anodes

Product Features

1. Casting integrity achieved through one directional solidification. Centrifugal Castings are cast using a spinning mold rotating at over a 1000 RPM, on cooling centrifugal castings only cool from the outside diameter to the inside diameter. This ensures the walls of the casting are denser and purer than other casting methods. The anode therefore is made up from a dense, homogenous metal matrix, with no gas inclusions, no porosity and no shrinkage.
2. Impact resistance. The centrifugal casting in a chill or steel mold ensures greater density and integrity resulting in a stronger anode with improved impact resistance helping to avoid anode breakage during handling and installation.
3. A low consumption rate. A stippled effect outer surface leads to a large surface area in comparison to anode weight thus reducing the anode current density, giving 30% more amp-years than conventional stick anodes. 
4. Longer life expectancy. Excellent performance proven by 3rd Party Accelerated Corrosion Testing. 
5. Low cable connector resistance. A low resistivity (less than 0.001 Ohms) zinc Wedge-lock center connection ensures a balanced spread of current throughout the length of the anode, extending anode lift and resulting in a reliable current discharge to the surrounding environment. The connection is resin encapsulated using a high-quality Epoxy Resin to ensure eradication of moisture ingress.
6. Ease of connection. A unique cable connection device can be provided for easy and efficient installation. 200 pcs can be connected by 2 people in less than 8 Hours. 

• All weights and dimensions are nominal and subject to variation in material compositions and Jennings Anodes foundry tolerance.
• Above standard sizes are available at Jennings Anodes warehouse. Other configurations are available upon special request. 
• Configurations include bare anodes connected with lead cable/wire, pre-packaged in coke backfills and assembled in a strung. 

Please kindly contact Jennings Anodes Sales Representatives for further assistance with high silicon cast iron anodes.

Anode Configuration

Jennings Anodes TA Anodes can be supplied bare, with a specified cable center connected. Cable can be either in a single length or tubular anodes can be connected in a string formation. Anode can also be supplied cable connected and pre-packed in galvanized steel canisters.
