"Chill Cast" in Metal Molds
 | Assures consistent weight, greater density, less flake graphite
grain boundary, and lower chemical segregation than Sand Cast
Anodes. |
 | The ANOTEC Chill Cast structure is similar to "Centrifugal Cast"
Tubular Anodes |
|
Grain
Structure Makes a Difference |
| |
|
A
typical cross section of a sand cast anode:
Skin of non-porous equiaxial grains. Remaining section relatively
porous from interdendritic shrinkage and porosity. Predominantly
flake graphite with larger boundary areas than equivalent
spheroidical graphite. |
A
typical ANOTEC anode cross section:
A dense skin of minute columnar grains and a dense core of equiaxial
grains. Occasionally, very fine interdendritic porosity at center.
Predominantly spheroidal shaped graphite. Similar to the structure
of vacuum refined High Silicon Iron. |

|
Special Features |
More than Twice as Strong
 | Independent laboratory tests confirm that Anotec Anodes
withstand drop impact tests to more than twice the height of Sand
Cast Anodes. |
Quality Control
 | ISO 9002 Quality Control assures:
chemistry (by spectrometer)
impact strenght
production lot traceablility.
|
Performance
 | Accelerated corrosion tests confirm that Anotec Chill Cast
Anodes perform significantly better (up to 19%) than sand cast
anodes in chloride and sulphate environments.
Test reports available on request. |
Spherical Tip
 | Prevents hang-up when lowering into deep wells. |
