Hi Ramesh.

In certain cases,Yes.But make sure bare anode(auxillary) does not touch on the sides of the tube(cathode)which may cause short circute.U may mask it with cloth.
But please be specific about your bath and what u are doing to get a specific answer from an open foroum like this!
Regards.

Hello Ramesh,
What type of plating are you doing? In most cases Ti can be used as an anode for primary or auxillary applications. Good Luck!
