Stainless steel T304 excitor plates decompose at 0.0001/yr and resist oxidation
Stainless steel T304 is used for the excitor array because it does not oxidize when exposed to liberated hydrogen and oxygen in water with no voltage applied; lab certification tests show a decomposition rate of 0.0001/year under these operating conditions, and material specs hold after over 3200 hours of operation versus prior-art electrodes lasting under 100 hours.
