Flat Type Zinc Anode
Flat Type Zinc Anode is a sacrificial anode used primarily for corrosion protection in marine and industrial applications. These anodes are flat and typically rectangular or trapezoidal, designed to be mounted on flat or gently curved surfaces, providing effective cathodic protection.
Overview
Overview and Applications
Corrosion Protection: Zinc anodes are commonly used for protecting metal structures such as the hulls of ships, boat keels, tanks, pipelines, and offshore platforms from corrosion. They function by corroding in place of the protected metal, a process known as cathodic protection.
Types and Shapes
Rectangular: Often used on flat surfaces or where space constraints necessitate a flat anode.
Trapezoidal: Suited for specific design requirements or curved surfaces.
Material
Typically made of high-purity zinc or zinc alloy. Designed to provide efficient corrosion protection in various environments, including saltwater and freshwater.
