Anode is a sacrificial electrode, used in the cathodic protection of metals. They are designed to corrode so they protect the metal item they are connected too.
They are made from zinc, aluminium or magnesium. They need to be bolted or welded to the metal item that they are designed to protect.
Zinc Anodes are used in brackish water and salt water to protect the hulls of boats, ships, offshore pipelines and platforms. They can also be used in the mining industry to protect pumps and pipes. They need to be check and replaced on a yearly basis. They are less effective in water that is over 25 degrees.
Aluminium Anodes are used in seawater application and last longer than zinc anodes, but don’t work on aluminium item. They commonly used for wharfs and jetties where there is power connected to the structure.
At Law Castings, we know that the best way to counteract corrosion is to use anodes.
Law Casting’s anodes are made in Perth, Western Australia, from Australian made zinc and aluminium.
Law Castings also offer an anode recycling service. We will buy the used anodes back from our customer and recycling them into new anodes.
We have a range of standard anodes that we manufacture on site, (see attached list) and we can custom make anodes to suit your application in zinc or aluminium.
