Magnesium Anodes

What is a Magnesium Anode?

A Magnesium Anode is a product used in electrochemical protection systems as a donor for the protected object: it turns potential difference turns it into an anode in a galvanic couple, thus the anode suffers from corrosive destruction, while a metal facility restores. Magnesium is used due to its chemical properties: it provides stable work in the soils with the resistance of less than 50 Оm×m, it is known for its high efficiency coefficient (up to 95%).

EHZ-CENTER offers to buy Magnesium Anodes: the products can be manufactured on the basis of the client’s drawings, the products are delivered in many countries.

Design

It looks like an ingot from an alloy of magnesium with a steel core: it is placed in a bag with a carbonaceous backfill for better electrolytic contact with soil.

The Anode is connected with the protected facility through a delivered connecting cable.

Types of Anodes

It is important to study a range of them prior a purchase: the prices can significantly differ depending on the employed magnesium alloy type, weight of the product and even its shape.

• Weight influences the anode dissolution rate: on average one product can be used from 5 to 15 years.
• Shape determines an application area:
  • cylinder and trapezoidal anodes are used for pipelines;
  • dish-shaped anodes mounted at the bottom of the protected reservoir are used for reservoirs.
• The number of impurities defines the type of magnesium alloy (MP-1 or MP-2): deviations in nickel, copper, iron and silicon impurities are significantly low in MP-1 alloy.
