The use of lead in anode applications of all kinds has been an essential part of electro-technology. Lead, because of its electro chemical properties, has proved to be an essential element in anodes in a diverse field of applications.
Lead alloys are used to produce anodes for corrosion protection on ships, piers and other marine structures. These alloys are also used in the electroplating industry where lead anodes can be used in a vast range of sizes from plating the smallest part to continuous plating of fifty tonne coils of steel tin plate.
Lead anodes are also increasingly used in the mining industry, where, the application of new chemical technology it is possible to electrowin metals such as copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc and manganese from solutions directly leached from the ore.
Royston Lead has built up an expertise in the manufacture of anodes for the wide range of applications required in the marketplace.
