American Carbon BADGERCAST Tubular anodes are manufactured using the most highly sophisticated horizontal centrifugal casting methods currently available. Studies have shown that the slight chill effect as well as the centrifugal force produces an anode with superior wear properties in a impressed current system. Custom lengths and diameters are also available upon request. All anodes are manufactured in accordance wih the chemical standards of ASTM 518 grade 3.
