TiCu Clad® – titanium Clad bars are made by using compound extrusion presses which ensures an optimal metallurgical bond between the copper core and the titanium coating.
The TiCu Clad® material is generally used in electrochemistry, in chlor-alkaline electrolysis, in galvanizing lines, in chromium-plating baths and wherever high corrosion protection and high current-carrying capacities are required.

Environmentally friendly chromium-plating with TiCu Clad® anodes
Using TiCu Clad® anodes, platinated with titanium in the micron range, has a distinct advantage when chromium plating in sulphuric acid electrolytes. Due to increasingly more strict environmental standards as well as expensive waste disposal, the market requires processes which allow a more environmentally friendly hard- and bright chromium-plating in fluoride-free electrolytes.
TiCu Clad® process is a process that eliminates production of hazardous waste such as lead chromate which is usually produced during the chrome-plating.
