SACRIFICIAL ANODES

Sacrificial or Galvanic anodes are manufactured using three base metal groups.
Each metal is suitable for a range of applications within a specified electrical potential

ALUMINIUM ANODES
Aluminium anodes are suitable for marine applications only.
Due to the formation of passive oxide films in non-chloride environments, Aluminium is not
suitable as a sacrificial anode in fresh water locations.
Typical metallurgical composition in accordance with AS2239 are A1, A2, A5 and A6.
Alternately we offer US Milspec Mil -DTL-24779A(SH) compositions.
Shape and size of anodes can be individually designed. Typical dimensions are listed below
Attachment is by welding, bolting or cable connection
