Extruded Ribbon Magnesium Anode
Extruded ribbon magnesium anode is a type of galvanic anode used in cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion, particularly in structures like pipelines, tanks, and underground or submerged metal objects.
Overview
Key Features
Extrusion Process: Magnesium is shaped into a continuous ribbon through an extrusion process. This provides uniform dimensions and properties.
High Surface Area: The ribbon form provides a high surface area-to-volume ratio, enhancing the anode's efficiency and current distribution.
Flexibility: Its ribbon form allows easy installation around complex shapes and along structures like pipelines.
Applications
Pipelines: Often wrapped or laid alongside pipelines to prevent corrosion in soil or water environments.
Tanks: Installed inside or around tanks to protect from corrosion, especially in marine or buried conditions.
Marine Structures: Used in protecting docks, piers, and submerged metal structures from corrosion.
