What Material Standard Can Be Called the Qualified Stainless Steel Cathode?

Cathode Plate

The qualified stainless-steel cathode adheres to the ASTM A240M-22 standard, specifically utilizing 316L grade stainless steel for the cathode plates. This grade is renowned for its superior corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, making it ideal for applications requiring high durability and performance. The cathode assembly also incorporates T2 copper for the conductive beams and 316L stainless steel for the clamping strips, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and structural integrity. Additionally, PPO (Polyphenylene Oxide) material is used for the edge strips, providing robustness and insulation.
