Anode Corrosion
Posted by admin on April 30th, 2009 at 07:11pm
Guess I did a dumb thing.. I left my Zinc Anode plates in the rinse water the last time I plated (it’s been "a while"!).. Today, upon inspection, I saw that my Zinc Anodes are covered in a white corrosion.. These were new zinc anodes and one even has a 3/16" dia hole erroded thru it..
I thought it would be okay to leave the zinc anodes in distilled water.. the time before this, when I plated, I washed, rinsed and dried off the zinc anodes and a "black something" grew on the surface.. It was a bear to clean off..
So, cleaning them doesn’t help, leaving them in distilled water doesn’t help.. What should I do?
And how can I clean off this white corrosion?
