Question 7

Aluminium and zinc are used as anodes to protect the steel surface from corrosion?

Answer: Not true

True aluminium and zinc are used as anodes, typically on pipelines and underwater.
Only on pipelines
Only on underwater structures

Question 8

Aluminium anodes are used for galvanic corrosion protection of steel surfaces?

Not true, all anodes must be made from silver
True, aluminium anodes are generally used for immersed or buried surfaces
Aluminium anodes are not used for use in corrosion protection

Question 9

Zinc primers act sacrificially and will 'corrode' in preference to the steel substrate?

Answer: Not true, the substrate corrodes first

Only if the zinc primer is over 500 microns (20 mils) in thickness
