Covering a wide scope of Special High Grade Zinc Anode products, Metropolitan Alloys is the right choice for your plating needs.


Zinc Ball Anodes Over the years, Metropolitan Alloys has positioned itself as the premier manufacturer of special high grade zinc 2’’ ball anodes and special high grade zinc specialty bar anodes for zinc electroplating and electrogalvanizing. With two plants in Detroit, MI, Metropolitan Alloys Corporation produces in excess of 60 million pounds of zinc anodes for plating and coating on a yearly basis. With our vast experience supplying customers for their special high grade zinc anode requirements - we are the company to partner with for the best in quality, service, pricing, and market knowledge.

Melting and Casting Just as with the manufacturing of our zinc alloys, the melting and casting process of our special high grade zinc ball and bar anodes is what really makes Metropolitan Alloys stand out. We start with our refractory-lined reverberatory furnaces (no iron pots) and graphite pumping system to prevent any iron contamination throughout the entire manufacturing process. The reverberatory furnaces used in the zinc anode manufacturing process are completely separate from the ones used for producing our zinc alloys. The only material that ever has and ever will touch the inside walls of our zinc anode reverberatory furnaces is special high grade zinc. Furthermore, the absolute finest quality special high grade zinc from the highest regarded and most well known zinc mining and smelting companies is used in the casting of our special high grade zinc anodes.

	*All zinc anode products (zinc ball and bar anodes) are shipped on 36’’ X 36’’ X 4’’ standard wood pallets. All zinc anode products (zinc ball and bar anodes) are shipped banded with nylon banding and shrink-wrapped for security purposes. **Custom packaging is available to fit specific requirements. Please contact a Metropolitan Alloys sales representative for more information.
