Summary for platinum replating on titanium Discussion
Platinum replating on titanium is the central question here: Raymond J. Sebba asks whether titanium mesh electrodes used in chlorinators can be re-platinised, whether any residual platinum must be removed first, what stripping method to use, and what bath formulation and deposit distribution to expect. A second poster, Dr. Seyed Behrooz Ghozati, echoes the need for practical information on platinum plating, including bath composition, platinum removal, stripping method, and surface preparation. The excerpt does not include a technical answer, so the thread mainly establishes that there is interest in whether re-platinising titanium is practical and what process details would be required. No conflicting advice appears in the provided text, only repeated requests for guidance.
Q. I have had an enquiry for the re-platinising of titanium electrodes. These are made of a titanium mesh , similar to that used in nickel anode baskets. My experience of precious metal plating is limited to silver, gold and palladium. Could anyone advise if it is practical to re-platinise these electrodes , used in chlorinators. Would it be necessary to remove all existing residual platinum , and if so what stripping method should be used? Chemical or electrolytic? What formulation of platinum plating tank is required? What sort of throwing power and deposit distribution can one expect from a platinum plating solution? Any assistance greatly appreciated. ⇦ Answer?
