LEAD ALLOY ANODE FOR CATHODIC PROTECTION

Abstract

Following the early cathodic protection work with zinc, and later magnesium, sacrificial anodes, there has been an increasing interest in the use of impressed current techniques. In the following article the author describes the method of operation of a corrosion product impressed current anode and, in particular, the formation of a conducting oxide film on a lead alloy. Some particular designs of these anodes for practical use in cathodic protection systems and their estimated performance are reviewed.
