Flush-Mounted Aluminum Anode With Flat Bar Insert
Aluminum anode is a popular choice for off-shore cathodic protection due to its light weight, simplicity of installation and adaptability to cast into a variety of sizes.
YUXI’s slender aluminium anode with trapezoidal cross-section is cast on a galvanized steel flat bar insert. The flush mounted steel core can be directly welded to the surface of protected steel structure, ensuring a reliable connection. As the anode is in direct contact with the surface to be protected, this flush mount anode is closer and more compliant to the structure’s geometric shape and has lower effect on resistance.
Description
—— Chemical Composition ——
Casted in low-iron, high-purity alloys, our aluminum anodes are designed as per the standard of NACE, DNV, ISO.
—— Electrochemical Properties ——
Although the voltage rate is lower than that of magnesium anodes, aluminum anodes have a much slower consumption rate, making them ideally suited for marine applications.
—— Practical Application ——
Our aluminum anodes are used for the cathodic protection of external submerged areas of wind turbine foundations, MOUs (semisubs and jack-ups) and offshore floaters(FSO, FSUs and FPSO’s).
