2.Electrochemical Properties Test Methods: The electrochemical properties of anodes are tested as ASTM G97. This test can accurately evaluate the open circuit voltage and current efficiency of the magnesium anode. Furthermore, on-line testing methods are used ensure the quality of our products.

3.Chemical Composition Test of Magnesium Alloy (Anode): Three tests for each batch during the pouring stage are performed by our QA Lab which include:

1)ARL3460
2)Foundry Spectrometer
3)Baird FSQ Foundry Spectrovac with HR-400 Source
ASTM specifications for alloy chemical composition are applied to ensure the optimum chemistry for anode efficiency and to insure chemistry integrity.

4.Electrochemical Properties Product Tests: Several on-line tests are taken during the casting as per factory standards. One sample product from each processed batch is taken to the QA Lab. Open circuit voltage and current efficiency is tested as per ASTM specification G97.

5.Casting Parameters Control: Casting Parameters are continuously checked in-house to control production variables. The dimensions of each cast mould are checked before pouring. Each anode is weighed after finishing, and is inspected for excessive shrink cavities, core security and general physical appearance to insure the highest quality of the finished product.

6.Quality Control On-Line: Products are randomly taken and sent to third parties to perform independent tests for chemical composition, electrochemical properties and weight every year.
