tungsten/tungsten compound anode in chlorate cell

plante1999 what was wrong with your aluminum rod you coated if you dont mind me asking? i've tried gold electrodes in hcl solution and they were gone in minutes. potassium chlorate will eat them in no time i bet. only in potassium cyanate solution did gold electrodes last long enough to plate something decent but that was after i electrolyzed some gold into solution for about twenty min. using gold as anode and cathode.

My poor man MMO work for about 1month in a temperature controled cell..... hum the gold gone away in about 2-3 minute , does someone know/test if tungsten can be used as an anode if not why not make an Tungsten(IV) oxide or sodium tungsten bronze coating?


@cyanureeves : If you whan more info U2U to me.
