Aluminum Anode
Aluminium anodes are commonly used for corrosion protection on ships, offshore platforms, docks, bridges, oil field facilities and other metal structures. They slow the rate of corrosion of metal structures by sacrificing themselves to absorb corrosive substances. Aluminium alloy anodes can also be used to provide more precise protection through current control systems.
Overview
Application Fields of Aluminium Anode
Ships and marine engineering: aluminium anodes are widely used for anti-corrosion protection of ship hulls, propellers, offshore platforms, submarine pipelines and other facilities.
Storage Tanks and Containers: used for internal anti-corrosion of petroleum and chemical storage tanks as well as other containers for storing liquids.
Underground pipelines: such as cathodic protection of natural gas pipelines, oil pipelines, water pipes, etc.
Cooling water system of power plants: to prevent corrosion of cooling water pipes and equipment.
Precautions for Using Aluminium Anode
Selection of suitable alloy: according to the different use environment, select aluminium alloy containing appropriate amount of zinc, indium and other elements to improve the electrochemical performance of the anode.
Installation position: Ensure that the aluminium anode has a good electrical connection with the protected metal structure, and arrange the anode position reasonably to ensure the uniform distribution of protective current.
Regular maintenance: check the consumption of anode regularly and replace the exhausted anode in time to ensure the continuous anticorrosion protection of the system.
