Sea Shield Marine Sacrificial Anode And Anode Rod

Two metals that are physically or electrically connected and immersed in sea water start behaving like a battery

. A small current flows between these two metals, causing one metal to gradually corrode underwater. This kind of corrosion is called galvanic corrosion, and it rapidly destroys these metals. Galvanic corrosion is known to affect various metal parts present on ships and boats.An anode rod is therefore used to prevent this type of oxidation and corrosion of a metal surface. It works as a barrier between the surface and the sea water, and gets electrolytically decomposed leaving the main metal surface free of damage. It is due to this type of functioning that these anode rods are also called sacrificial anodes.

There are a few reputable manufacturers that offer a variety of sacrificial anodes or anode rods. These are an inexpensive tool for the corrosion protection of ships, boats, yachts, barges trawlers etc. They can be easily installed to the surface that they are to protect in the sea water. Typically, metals such as zinc, aluminum and magnesium are used to make anode rods or sacrificial anodes. These metals are often used in combination with other metals such as nickel, cobalt and tin to create alloys.Most leading manufacturers provide a range of sacrificial anodes or anode rods in a number of shapes, weights, sizes and thicknesses to suit your various requirements and needs. You can choose from anode rods ranging from 2 lbs to 16 lbs, and from a variety of lengths and diameters.

The anode rods manufactured by such manufacturers are easy to install and remove. These sacrificial anodes are extruded or pressure die cast so that they offer you guaranteed performance and endurance, even in the high seas. Our anode rods are extruded from a very high quality of zinc and are alloyed with specific quantities of aluminum and silicon. This results in a uniform dissolution of these sacrificial anodes.

These anode rods work really well in salt water or brackish water, and offer your boats and ships the maximum level of corrosion protection. You can find them on the hulls of ships and boats, and on the propellers and rudders of small boats. There are several advantages to using Sacrificial anodes or anode rods.

These include:

1. Relatively easy to install

2. No need for an external power source

3. Low risk of causing stray current interference on other structures and surfaces

4. Less monitoring required

5. Low risk of overprotection

6. Easy testing of system components once installed

Another benefit of partnering with a renowned brand is that they adhere to very strict standards and make sure that their sacrificial anodes and Anode rods match the latest industry codes and military specifications. Such brands firmly believe in creating innovative designs that have been the favorite of several serious boating and yachting enthusiasts. It is only because of the high quality of our products that such manufacturers succeed in becoming one of the most trusted sources of anode rods and sacrificial anodes for ship owners and boating enthusiasts the world over.
