Factors Influencing the Performance of Al-Zn-Sn Anode

Article Preview

Abstract:

Al-Zn-Sn anode is not popular for corrosion prevention in marine environment as much as Al-Zn-In anode and Al-Zn-Hg anode because it requires proper heat treatment to obtain the optimum anode capacity. This paper investigates what factors would influence the anode performance of Al-Zn-Sn anode. The fine and homogeneous microstructure is the factor that plays important role to improve the anode capacity. The manufacturing techniques producing fine and homogeneous microstructure in aluminium alloys might be helpful to increase the performance of the anode without the heat treatment process.
