Magnesium Anode

Application of Magnesium Sacrificial Anode:
The magnesium anode is characterized by small density, big theory electric capacity, low potential negative polarization rate and large driving voltage for iron and steel (> 0.6 V). Magnesium sacrificial anode is suitable for the protection of metal components in soil and water, where the electrical resistivity is higher. Our magnesium anode is mainly used for anticorrosion of buried pipelines, onshore platforms, huge boilers and steel structures.
