Hello I need help finding a material that will be used in a experimental plating process. The material will be an anode and subject to 200 degrees F temp, 10-15 amps 110 volts, and in a mild aquous solution (5% sulfuric). I've tried stainless steel, titanium and carbon all desolve. Is there any known metal or alloy less subject to desolve in said conditions. Thank you all

Jerry: We are not plating experts, but by forcing the material to be an anode in a plating reaction, you are driving it to lose ions (corrode). Typically the anode in a plating process is the material desired to be deposited onto a substrate, thus by definition it will lose material. You are experimenting with alloys of widely varying properties. We are not certain what you are trying to accomplish. David Hendrix The Hendrix Group Inc.

Try unalloyed Tantalum, or SS 304L coated with Tantalum ;-).
