YUXI’s zinc bracelet anode is cast in low-iron, high-purity zinc alloys which is effective in seawater and saline mud where temperatures are limited to 120 degrees F. Our bracelet anode is preassembled with plated mild steel clamping attachments and can be manufactured in various sizes to fit for major pipelines. Bracelet type zinc anode is usually fixed to the surface of cylinderical protected metal structures and shaped like bracelets. With good corrosion resistance and stable protection effect, our bracelet anode is widely used in various industrial fields for corrosion prevention.
—— Chemical Composition ——
Our anode is made from special high grade (SHG) zinc ingots with 99.995% purity. The high-purity composition ensures the anode material is more resistant to passive films. Type I is generally used in seawater or brackish water, while Type II is used in underground and fresh water.
◉ ASTM – B418 Type I
—— Electrochemical Properties ——
Being a high voltage conductor, zinc has a greater negative electro-chemical potential than other metals. As such, it does not easily cause overprotection which leads to coating disbondment and hydrogen damage of high strength steel. There comes a time and place where no other material beats zinc as a sacrificial anode – when it is docked or anchored in seawater, brackish water or saline mud for long periods of time.
◉ ASTM – B418 Type I
* The open/closed circuit voltage is with respect to a saturated calomel electrode.
—— Practical Application ——
Our zinc bracelet anode is specifically designed for the cathodic protection of submarine/offshore pipelines, riser & dog leg of platform, steel pile of jetty, any circular steel structure, etc.
