Chemical properties and anode requirements of magnesium alloy sacrificial anodes


【Summary Description】Anode requirements: 1, the potential is negative enough, but should not be too negative, so as to avoid hydrogen evolution reaction in the cathode region; 2. The polarizability of the anode should be small, and the current output of the potential pole should be stable; 3. The capacitance of anode material should be large; 4, must have high current efficiency;

Anode requirement

1, the potential is negative enough, but should not be too negative, so as to avoid hydrogen evolution reaction in the cathode region;

2. The polarizability of the anode should be small, and the current output of the potential pole should be stable;

3. The capacitance of anode material should be large;

4, must have high current efficiency;

5, uniform dissolution. Easy to fall off;

6, the material price is low, the source is sufficient.

7, the corrosion products should be non-toxic and harmless, do not pollute the environment, no hazard.
