Magnesium Anode

1. Pure Magnesium Sacrificial Anodes: Magnesium is a reactive metal, and its electrochemical properties are significantly influenced by impurities and alloying elements. When magnesium contains impurities, especially those with lower hydrogen evolution potential, its tendency for self-dissolution increases, leading to decreased current efficiency. Some impurity elements, like Fe, Co, and Mn, dissolve as single-phase solutes…

Keeping metal stuff from rusting is super important, right? One smart way to do this is by using magnesium alloy sacrificial anodes. Here’s the deal: You attach a piece of metal, like aluminum or zinc, that’s more negative than the thing you want to protect, to your metal stuff. As this sacrificial metal slowly wears…
