Titanium baskets replace the use of anodes in the shapes of plates, rods etc; and therefore the use of primary anodes save operating costs considerably which pay for the initial cost of baskets in a few months. Titanium baskets are widely used particularly in nickel plating because of its excellent properties such as:

- High corrosion resistance 
- High strength to weight ratio, allowing it to carry large weights    without distortion 
- High wear resistance 
- Provides constant anode area hence enabling constant current    density. 

Primary nickel in odd forms can be used. The baskets are fabricated from expanded metals of 1 mm thickness, diamond mesh, stiffened with sheets of 1 mm thickness as required. The suspension hooks are further provided with copper strips for proper current density.
