As a complete metal-working facility, Anomet offers a number of special services which allow for easier handling and subsequent use of materials. For copper cored anodes, a niobium end cap can be welded into the end exposed to the electrolyte. Also, Anomet provides complete machine shop services for tapping or threading anodes. Custom geometries may also be obtained by bending anodes to protect structures with complex geometries. In most instances, the cost of these services is considerably lower than can be obtained through outside sources.
