  2. Anodic protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodic_protection

    Anodic protection (AP) otherwise referred to as Anodic Control is a technique to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the anode of an electrochemical cell and controlling the electrode potential in a zone where the metal is passive.

  3. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

    Aluminum sacrificial anodes (light colored rectangular bars) mounted on a steel jacket structure. Zinc sacrificial anode (rounded object) screwed to the underside of the hull of a small boat. Cathodic protection (CP; / k æ ˈ θ ɒ d ɪ k / ⓘ) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an ...

  4. Galvanic anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_anode

    A galvanic anode, or sacrificial anode, is the main component of a galvanic cathodic protection system used to protect buried or submerged metal structures from corrosion. They are made from a metal alloy with a more "active" voltage (more negative reduction potential / more positive oxidation potential ) than the metal of the structure.

  5. Galvanic series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_series

    The unshaded bars indicate the location on the chart of those steels when in acidic/stagnant water ( like in the bilge ), where crevice-corrosion happens. Notice how the *same* steel has much different galvanic-series location, depending on the electrolyte it's in, making prevention of corrosion .. more difficult.

  6. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    In this case, sacrificial anodes work as part of a galvanic couple, promoting corrosion of the anode, while protecting the cathode metal. In other cases, such as mixed metals in piping (for example, copper, cast iron and other cast metals), galvanic corrosion will contribute to accelerated corrosion of parts of the system.

  7. Electrophoretic deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophoretic_deposition

    Certain metals, such as zinc, may become embrittled from the hydrogen gas which is evolved at the cathode. The anodic process avoids this effect since oxygen is being generated at the anode. The major advantages that are normally touted for the cathodic processes are: Higher levels of corrosion protection are possible.

  8. Sacrificial metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrificial_metal

    Sacrificial metals are widely used to prevent other metals from corroding: for example in galvanised steel. [3] Many steel objects are coated with a layer of zinc, which is more electronegative than iron, and thus oxidises in preference to the iron, preventing the iron from rusting. [4]

  9. Corrosion engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_engineering

    Corrosion prevention measures, including Cathodic protection, designing to prevent corrosion and coating of structures fall within the regime of corrosion engineering. However, corrosion science and engineering go hand-in-hand and they cannot be separated: it is a permanent marriage to produce new and better methods of protection from time to time.
