Anodes used for Cathodic Protection by Galvotec Alloys Inc.

• Anodes used for Cathodic Protection are typically referred to as Sacrificial or Galvanic Anodes.
• Materials used for sacrificial anodes are metal alloys usually of aluminum, zinc, or magnesium.
• In order for an anode to function properly it needs to be within an electrolyte such as water, sea water, brackish water, soil, or mud.
• The anode "sacrifices" to the structure it protects by electrolytic action because the anode corrodes more easily than the cathode. (The structure being protected becomes the cathode)
