Topic: Anode to cathode ratio in watts bath
Can an excesive anode to cathode ratio (i mean excesive anodes) favor the polarization of the anode?
Re: Anode to cathode ratio in watts bath
What type of anodes are you talking about?
Certain anode types require a "minimum" amount of current before they become "active". Lead anodes in hexchrome are an example.
And theoretically, if an anode has no contact to the rest of the anode system, it is possible for that anode to go bipolar, effectively polarizing ~50% of the anode, but I've never seen this.
