2. 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.

3. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

   Over time the galvanic anode continues to corrode, consuming the anode material until eventually it must be replaced. Galvanic or sacrificial anodes are made in various shapes and sizes using alloys of zinc, magnesium, and aluminum. ASTM International publishes standards on the composition and manufacturing of galvanic anodes. [10] [11] [12]

4. Anodic protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodic_protection

   An anodic protection system includes an external power supply connected to auxiliary cathodes and controlled by a feedback signal from one or more reference electrodes. [3] Careful design and control is required when using anodic protection for several reasons, including excessive current when passivation is lost or unstable, leading to ...

5. Sacrificial metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrificial_metal

   A sacrificial metal is a metal used as a sacrificial anode in cathodic protection that corrodes to prevent a primary metal from corrosion or rusting. [1] It may also be used for galvanization. Equation

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.
