Magnesium Tank Anode with Pipe Insert, Cylindrical Variant
Protect boats from corrosion with our weld-on magnesium hull anode. Ideal for freshwater vessels, it combats stray current and pollution.
Description
Magnesium hull anodes are widely applied to shield steel hull service boats in freshwater environments like rivers, canals, and cruising routes. They excel in combating corrosion induced by stray current or pollution. This weld-on magnesium hull anode, featuring a pipe insert, offers a strong driving voltage and rapid polarization to safeguard submerged metal components against corrosion below the waterline.
Quality Substrate Material
Our magnesium hull anode is made from premium-grade magnesium alloy and meets the stringent specifications of the American standard ASTM B843 – AZ63C.
| Element | Content |
|---|---|
| Aluminum (Al) | 5.3% – 6.7% |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.15% – 0.7% |
| Zinc (Zn) | 2.5% – 3.5% |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.1% max. |
| Copper (Cu) | 0.02% max. |
| Iron (Fe) | 0.03% max. |
| Nickel (Ni) | 0.02% max. |
| Other Impurity (each) | 0.05% max. |
| Total Impurities | 0.03% max. |
| Magnesium (Mg) | Remainder |
Custom-made Electro-potential Options
Our magnesium hull anode is typically die-cast using H-1 alloy to achieve a standard potential of -1.55 volts in relation to the saturated calomel electrode (SCE). Customers can request a high-potential magnesium anode as needed.
| Technical Measurement | Performance |
|---|---|
| Open Circuit Potential (-V) | 1.5 ~ 1.55 |
| Close Circuit Potential (-V) | 1.45 ~ 1.5 |
| Min. Current Capacity | 550 A.h/lbs (1230 A.h/kg) |
| Current Efficiency | 55% min. |
Optional Plastisol Coating
The magnesium hull anode is provided in either bare or plastisol-coated variants. The polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating applied to the sides, ends, and faying surfaces acts as an effective barrier against electrical currents, intended to be trimmed from the anode as necessary to modify surface area contact and current flow.
Strict Quality Control
Our magnesium hull anode is produced, examined, and evaluated in strict compliance with ISO 9001:2015 standards to guarantee exceptional quality.
Customized Configurations
Weights and dimensions may slightly vary due to standard fluctuations in material densities. The displayed range features standard magnesium anodes, while customized configurations can be tailored upon request.
