Houston Anodes is located in the Energy Corridor of Houston, Texas. Our manufacturing facilities include induction furnaces dedicated to the production of Aluminum and Zinc sacrificial anodes. Our induction furnaces offer a wide range of advantages in efficiency and quality over gas furnaces that most aluminum foundries still use. Gas furnaces are slower and less efficient for achieving precise chemical compositions. Using the high-frequency AC induction melting method provides faster meting times, reduced risk of melt contamination, energy savings, and a very homogeneous alloy. Our facilities also include a fully equipped metal workshop for the design and production of steel molds for the casting of any type and size of sacrificial anodes. For large pipeline bracelets our water cooled molds’ technology produce anodes free of cracks and warps. Finally, Houston Anodes laboratory is equipped with a Q8 Bruker/Quantron Magellan Spectrometer and state-of-the-art equipment where all of our anodes are inspected and tested according to NACE, DNV, and ISO specifications and best practices as well as our customer’s unique anode manufacturing specifications including NRF and MIL Spec.
