The High Silicon Cast Iron Anode(Pd No. : 3003497)

Product Description]

Refinement of products, processes and a competitive advantage is what most business owners seek. This seeking is not that much different in sensing and calibration where the smallest advancements can have the largest butterfly effects. High silicon cast iron, as specified in ASTM A 518, the anodes contain iron with approximately 15% silicon (Si) content, anodes from Woojin Inc. of Korea provide a competitive advantage to companies by the creation of their own competitive advantage. The company has leveraged a new material, highly resistant to acid, for application in civil engineering, steel production, airlines and road construction.

Woojin Inc.’s high silicon cast iron anodes have some great product benefits. The major benefit of Woojin Inc.’s patented high silicon cast iron anode is the corrosion resistance it affords while it also is able to overcome the weakness of the material. As a result of the anode’s special features it can be used in a number of applications. Applications for the anode include; prevention of the degradation. These anodes are used for anticorrosion current from external power sources used to prevent the degradation of underground installations. The anodes are also installed in nitric acid electrolytic cells used in the cold rolling of stainless steel, sending currents to remove the surface oxidation scales of the cold rolling plate.

With a monthly production capacity of 50 tons for electrolytic anodes and 20 tons for stainless steel pickling anodes, Woojin’s high silicon cast iron anodes dominate the Korean market with a 70% market share, and are supplied to every stainless cold rolling plant in the nation, including POSCO. The company’s overseas customers include Qingdao Pohang Stainless Steel in China, and other companies in Asia and the Middle East.

Woojin has a specialized research and development institute for measurement technologies that they commenced in 1987. The company invests in the research institute at a rate of 5.8% of sales. They have circa three research and development projects in progress. They have a project devoted to noise and vibration control, a durable and flexible housing project and an ultra low temperature sensor project for LNG carriers.

Woojin Inc. participates in the marketplace with products additional to the anode. Product offerings from the company include; instruments for nuclear power plants such as NPP instruments, plants for steel and CMS, flow meters, additional new materials and more. The company also produces coolant sensors for reactors and nuclear fission sensors as well as steel plant automation equipment.

Woojin have a monthly production capacity of 50 tons for electrolytic anodes and 20 tons for stainless steel anodes. The company has experienced considerable success in the Korean domestic market with their high silicon cast iron anodes and they obtained a 70% market share for their efforts. The company is in the rare position of being able to say that the anodes are supplied to every stainless steel cold rolling plant within their country. Internationally, the company’s client list includes manufacturers such as Qingdao Pohang Stainless Steel in China, and other companies in Asia and the Middle East.

Woojin Inc. was founded to cater to the niche measurement technology portion of various related high technology industries. The company operates in partnership with Woojin Electro Nite Inc., Chino Korea, Korea Nagano, Oval Engineering Inc. and Tow Inc. the joint venture with Toho from Japan.
