Home Magnesium Anode
Magnesium Anode is the most common material used as sacrificial anode in cathodic protection system r chemical composition.
(a) High Potential Magnesium Anode
(b) Low potential Magnesium Anode Based on the soil condition choice of type of anode is done. Both the type of Anode has different open circuit potential. Magnesium Anode comes into different shape and size like Cylindrical, Rectangular shape and few more
