  2. 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 ...

  3. Galvanic anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_anode

    [7] [8] Where this is a concern, zinc anodes may be used. An aluminum-zinc-tin alloy called KA90 is commonly used in marine and water heater applications. [9] Zinc and aluminium are generally used in salt water, where the resistivity is generally lower and magnesium dissolves relatively quickly by reaction with water under hydrogen evolution ...

  4. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    Galvanizing with zinc protects the steel base metal by sacrificial anodic action. Cathodic protection uses one or more sacrificial anodes made of a metal which is more active than the protected metal. Alloys of metals commonly used for sacrificial anodes include zinc, magnesium, and aluminium. This approach is commonplace in water heaters and ...

  5. Sacrificial metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrificial_metal

    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] Similarly, sacrificial bars of a metal such as aluminium or aluminium alloys can be attached to an oil rig or to the hull of a ship to prevent it from rusting and ...

  6. 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.

    Optionally, the covering with the zinc layer may be left out, but it is generally not recommended. Zinc anodes also need to be placed on the ship's hull. Until the mid-1900s, steel sheets were riveted together. A punt under construction Wooden boats under construction during the Klondike Gold Rush

  8. Galvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization

    Galvanization (also spelled galvanisation) [1] is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which the parts are coated by submerging them in a bath of hot, molten zinc. [citation needed]

  9. Copper sheathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_sheathing

    The Royal Navy's newly coppered ships, as yet untested, were used successfully by Rodney in defeating the French at the Battle of the Saintes off Dominica in 1782. By the time the war ended in 1783, problems with the hull bolting were once more becoming apparent. [13] Finally, a suitable alloy for the hull bolts was found, that of copper and zinc.
