Sacrificial Anodes

  What Do Sacrificial Anodes Do? When metals are in water, they create an electrical charge. When two different metals are in contact in water, they form a small electric circuit. The less noble metal (like a bronze propeller) becomes the anode, and the more noble metal (like a stainless steel shaft) becomes the cathode. […]

Sacrificial anode refers to the electrochemical theory of metal as the anode, the anode (metal) gradually depleted with the flow of current. Sacrificial anodes are usually used economically only in structures with low current requirements and in environments with low soil resistivity. Primary Definition Definition 1: The anode is gradually consumed with the current flowing

Sacrificial anode cathodic protection is a method to prevent metal corrosion by using the principle of galvanic cell. The specific method is to reduce the metal as a protective pole, and the metal to be protected connected to form a galvanic cell, the metal will be reduced as a negative oxidation reaction and sacrifice consumption,
