An electrode from which current leaves a polarized electrical device is called a cathode. Similar to that, an anode is a type of electrode that serves as the point of entry for current into a polarized electrical device.
The cathode is referred to as the electrode where the reduction occurs when discussing it in terms of chemistry. This is typical in an electrochemical cell. Due to the electrical energy supplied to the cell, which causes chemical compounds to break down, the cathode is negative in this instance.
As in the case of a galvanic cell, where the chemical reaction tends to the formation of electrical energy, it can also be beneficial.Actually, the movement of electrons from the cathode’s surface to the solution causes the current to flow via the cathode’s interface.
The solid copper head bar is encased in a stainless steel jacket on the plate, which guards against corrosion. The conductive interior weld between the head bar and the plate is protected throughout the interior of the jacket by a corrosion-resistant epoxy that is specially made for copper usage.
High-quality sealing is applied to the hanger bar’s coating to stop electrolytes from seeping into the conductive interior weld.
The Global Cathode plates market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Permanent cathode plates are produced by CathoTec for copper, nickel, and zinc refineries all around the world. The hanger bars are either laser welded or explosion welded, and a laser is used to perform a comparable metal weld between the sheet and hanger bar.
According to customer demand, CathoTec offers various varieties of edge strips. Extruded edge strips with a long lifespan can provide significant cost advantages.
The most expensive charges paid over the course of a cathode plate’s lifetime are often those related to the upkeep and replacement of edge strips.
In some instances, a copper refinery has significantly reduced its annual edge strip expenditures by switching from conventional edge strips to robust extruded edge strips. Long-lasting extruded edge strips increase cost effectiveness while also enhancing copper quality.
