CORROSION RESEARCH ROUND‐UP

GREAT BRITAIN Cathodic protection applications using platinum anodes. The commercial development of cathodic protection for industrial applications has been hindered by the choice of anode materials available to the corrosion engineer. Galvanic anode materials, such as zinc, magnesium and aluminium alloys, have been used successfully in marine applications, but, due to high cost, frequent renewal and large bulk, their use has been limited.
