Galvanic anodes, also known as sacrificial anodes, provide proven, maintenance-free corrosion prevention for steel structures buried in soil or submerged under water. MATCOR manufactures and supplies high-quality aluminum, zinc, and magnesium sacrificial anodes engineered for pipeline, tank, and marine applications.
| Anode Type | Typical Potential (V/CSE) | Efficiency (Utilization Factor) | Typical Environment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnesium (Standard) | -1.75 | ~50% | High-resistivity soils, freshwater |
| Magnesium (High Potential) | -1.55 | ~50% | Moderate-resistance environments |
| Zinc | -1.1 | 90-95% | Brackish/seawater, low-resistance soils |
| Aluminum | Not specified in source | 85-90% | Marine/offshore |
| Aluminum (Galvalum II) | -1.1 to -1.15 | 85-90% | Marine/offshore, high performance |
Impressed current anodes offer more control over output and a longer design life.
