To prevent corrosion in aluminum structures, anodic protection is frequently employed. This technique utilizes a specialized aluminum anode, which acts as a sacrificial electrode. The anode is designed to an area that corrodes preferentially over the main aluminum structure. This process transfers corrosion from the protected surface onto the sac
The Role of Aluminum Anodes in Cathodic Protection
Cathodic protection utilizes anodic sacrificial materials, including aluminum, to mitigate corrosion on metallic structures. Aluminum anodes exhibit promising performance due to their high electrochemical potential, effectively transferring electrons to the steel being protected. Their inherent resistance and comparatively inexpensive cost contribu
