High Silicon Cast Iron Anode Plate
Feature:
High silicon cast iron anodes are amongst the most widely used anodes for impressed current cathodic protection systems. YUXI's high silicon cast iron anode plate is made of a solid round base and a conductive pillar fixed in the central part. With increased anode surface area, its specialized structure design changes the current path to improve the uniformity of discharge, thus eliminating "necking effect" which regularly caused by high silicon cast iron anode rod. It can be used to protect submerged structures from corrosion, such as marine LNG platform jacket, offshore optical fiber station base, sub-sea transmission pipeline, etc.


CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

Our high silicon cast iron tubular anode mounted on the base meets the high chemistry standard as per ASTM A518/A518M Grade 3, particularly suited for more severe environments (such as brackish water or saltwater).

ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Due to its high content of silicon, the anode surface is readily and continually oxidized with a thin film of hydrated silicon oxides, which protects the anode from metal pitting. Our high silicon cast iron anodes exhibit extraordinary corrosion resistance and low consumption rate in low-pH environment.
