anodskyddet
Anodskyddet, often translated as "anode protection" or "sacrificial anode," is a method used to prevent corrosion of metal structures. It is based on the principle of galvanic corrosion, where two dissimilar metals are in contact in the presence of an electrolyte. In this process, the more electronegative metal (the anode) corrodes preferentially, thereby protecting the less electronegative metal (the cathode).
In the context of anodskyddet, a more reactive metal, such as zinc, aluminum, or magnesium, is attached
This technique is widely used in various applications, including protecting ship hulls, pipelines, water heaters, and
