Custom MMO Titanium Anodes for ICCP Systems
Plate, mesh, expanded mesh, rod and tube anodes manufactured to your approved cathodic-protection drawing and operating data.
ARY Titanium manufactures and supplies the anode. System design, protection criteria, potential assessment and commissioning approval remain with your qualified cathodic-protection engineer.

Where an MMO Titanium Anode Sits in an ICCP Circuit
In an impressed current system, the anode is the part that discharges protective current into the electrolyte. Follow the circuit to see what the anode does, and which decisions belong to your system designer, so responsibilities are clear before you request a quote.
1 · Rectifier
Supplies DC current. Output settings are defined by your CP design.
2 · Positive Connection
Links the rectifier to the anode. The connection method is agreed for each drawing.
3 · MMO Titanium Anode
Titanium substrate with a mixed metal oxide coating that discharges current into the electrolyte.
A titanium substrate with an active oxide coating
The titanium substrate gives a stable, conductive body. The mixed metal oxide coating carries out the anodic reaction. We match coating system, active area and form to the electrolyte, current density, driving voltage, temperature and design life in your approved design, so the anode is built for the duty it will actually see.
ARY Titanium provides anode manufacturing, customization and supply. We do not replace your cathodic protection engineer in system design, protection criteria, potential assessment or final commissioning approval.
6 · Negative Return
Completes the circuit from the structure back to the rectifier.
5 · Protected Structure
The steel your design protects. Protection criteria are set by your engineer.
4 · Electrolyte
Soil, backfill, water or concrete carries current from anode to structure.
Share your approved design basis and we will review whether the anode can be built to it.
Request a Manufacturing ReviewICCP Environments Where Our Titanium Anodes Can Be Evaluated
Each structure puts the anode in a different electrolyte, current demand and installation method. Open a panel to see which titanium forms can be evaluated for it. Starting from the right form shortens the review, while the final form and quantity follow your approved CP design.

Discuss Your ApplicationICCP and Sacrificial Systems: Where MMO Titanium Anodes Fit
Sacrificial (galvanic) and impressed current systems are different designs, chosen by your corrosion engineer for different structures and conditions. MMO titanium anodes are used only in impressed current systems and are not a drop-in replacement for galvanic anodes. Knowing this upfront keeps your specification and our quote aligned.
Sacrificial Anode System
A galvanic metal such as zinc, aluminium or magnesium corrodes to supply current. No external power source.
Natural potential difference between metals
External DC rectifier set by the design
Output follows the environment
Output adjusted within design limits
The anode metal is consumed
Coating performs the reaction on titanium
Chosen by the CP engineer for suitable structures
Chosen where impressed current is specified
Outside our titanium anode range
We build the anode to the approved specification
MMO Titanium Anode in ICCP
A coated titanium anode driven by a DC power source, used when your design specifies impressed current.
Which system to use is a design decision for your cathodic protection engineer. Once ICCP is specified, we review whether a titanium anode can be made to that design.

Review My Anode FormHow Anode Service Life Is Evaluated
Anode service life cannot be promised without operating conditions. It is evaluated from the factors below, using the values in your approved design. Because every assumption is stated, your engineer can check the result instead of relying on a catalogue figure.
Coating System
Coating families respond differently to oxygen- or chlorine-evolution conditions.
Coating Loading
The amount of active coating applied, agreed against the project requirement.
Current Density
Current per unit of active area. Higher density generally shortens coating life.
Electrolyte
Soil, backfill, water or concrete, and their chemistry, load the coating differently.
Temperature
Elevated temperature can increase coating consumption.
Driving Voltage
Must stay within limits suitable for the titanium substrate and electrolyte.
Operating Cycle
Continuous or intermittent duty, and output changes over time.
Installation Conditions
Backfill quality, spacing, mechanical stress and joint environment on site.
What we state with a quotation
Where a service-life assessment is requested, we list the assumptions behind it so your engineer can check them against the design. We do not give a fixed service-life promise that ignores operating conditions.
- Assumed current per anode
- Active area and current density
- Coating system and loading basis
- Electrolyte, temperature and operating cycle
Need a service-life assessment basis? Send your design life target with your data.
Request a Life Assessment BasisEarly Anode Problems and What Can Contribute to Them
Early anode problems rarely have one obvious cause. Each pair shows a field symptom, factors that may contribute to it, and the points we review during manufacturing. Root cause can only be established with operating data, photos and returned samples, which protects you from a quick but wrong conclusion.
Loss of current at an anode
Joint sealing, water ingress, strain on the lead or the field connection
Connection design and workmanship agreed for the drawing.
Faster-than-expected coating wear
Current density above the design assumption, electrolyte chemistry or temperature
Active area and coating basis against your design values.
Substrate attack in chloride service
Driving voltage, local current concentration or coating damage
Voltage limits and edge or joint details on the drawing.
Uneven current distribution
Anode spacing, form, backfill or structure geometry
Form and dimensions against the approved layout.
Coating damaged before installation
Handling, stacking or transport conditions
Packaging method agreed before shipment.
Anode does not fit on site
Drawing revision mismatch or missing dimensions
Drawing revision and key dimensions before production.
If a problem occurs, we review operating data, photos and returned samples with you before drawing conclusions or agreeing on corrective action.

Questions ICCP Buyers Ask Before Ordering
Engineers, purchasing teams and quality managers check different things. Choose your role and open a question to get a straight answer before you send an inquiry.
Which coating do you recommend for our project?
We do not give a general recommendation. The coating direction is discussed against your electrolyte, target anodic reaction, current density, driving voltage, temperature and approved design.
What information do you need before reviewing an anode?
Your approved CP design basis, electrolyte and resistivity, required current per anode, rectifier limits, temperature, design life target, installation method and drawing.
How long will the anode last?
Service life cannot be stated without operating conditions. Where an assessment is requested, we list the assumptions used so your engineer can check them.
Can you manufacture to our drawing?
We can evaluate your drawing and project requirements, and confirm before quotation whether the form, dimensions and connection fall within our actual production capability.
Are you a manufacturer?
Yes. ARY Titanium integrates R&D, manufacturing and sales of titanium electrodes and titanium components in Foshan, China.
Can we order samples first?
Samples and small pilot quantities can be discussed for design evaluation and supplier qualification.
What is the lead time?
Lead time depends on form, coating, connection and quantity. We give a lead time with the quotation once the scope is confirmed.
Will our drawings stay confidential?
Drawings and project information are used only for your project, and an NDA can be signed before files are shared.
How are repeat orders kept consistent?
Repeat orders are produced to the approved drawing revision, and proposed changes are communicated before production.
Can anodes be supplied with cables connected?
Factory cable connection is evaluated per project. If it is within our actual production capability, we confirm the method before quotation.
Which inspection records can you provide?
Inspection items and records are agreed before the order. We confirm which records can be provided for your project at that stage.
