Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved oxide anode to be used in impressed current cathodic corrosion protection, such as the cathodic protection of tanks and pipelines in soil, fresh water or sea water, and also in connection with the protection of sheet steel pilings in harbours.
- Other examples of the fields of use of the present anode are floating docks, high voltage direct current transmissions and large water towers for drinking water.
- the anode according to the invention can be used .in most instances where traditional anodes can be used.
- the low price and the low consumption, i.e. loss of anode material, at all current densities as well as the further advantages described in the following render the anode of the present invention an effective and attractive alternative to other anodes.
- Magnetite anodes for use in impressed current cathodic corrosion protection are known in the art and have proved superior to traditional silicon-iron and graphite anodes which require frequent replacement.
- a magnetite anode the entire inside surface of which is plated with a thin copper layer, and in which just below the anode top a copper plate is fixed to the inside copper layer with a cable connection attachment soldered thereon, has been described and used in practice for cathodic protection of a number of structures susceptible to corrosion.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide a magnetite anode of the above type having a coating or plating consisting of lead metal or a lead metal alloy, such anode being particularly effective in operation in impressed current cathodic protection.
- the invention relates to a metal oxide anode or anode construction for use in impressed current cathodic corrosion protection, said anode comprising a metal oxide anode member which on its current impressing surface is completely or partially coated or plated with an electrically conductive metal or metal alloy, the said coating or plating being connected to an electrically conductive cable termination member which is fixed in conductive connection to a central position or area relative to the said coated or plated surface, thus providing contact between the termination member and the coating or plating substantially in the center or central area or portion of the said coating or plating.
- the metal oxide is magnetite, although other metal oxides can also be used, such as a NiO + FeO/Fe 2 O 3 -anode instead of a magnetite anode which is a FeO/Fe 2 O 3 -anode.
- the invention relates to a magnetite anode for the use stated above, said anode comprising a magnetite anode member which on its current impressing surface is completely or partially coated or plated with an electrically conductive metal or metal alloy selected from the group consisting of copper, lead, tin, aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, tin alloys, and aluminum alloys, said coating or plating being connected to an electrically conductive cable termination member which is fixed in conductive connection to a central position or area relative to said coating or plating, thus providing contact with the coating or plating substantially in the center or central area of said coating or plating.
- the metal or metal alloy used as the coating or plating material is preferably lead or a lead alloy, such as a lead alloy containing 95% Pb and 5% Sb, or a lead alloy containing lead, tin and zinc.
- Lead is approximately three times cheaper than copper, and lead is also passive when anodically charged with an electric current. The latter property is important since, as mentioned in the foregoing, when using copper coatings crack problems arise from time to time, i.e. when cracks occur in the magnetite, the copper coating disappears at the place of crack and causes problems with respect to the current discharge in that the current cannot pass where copper has disappeared, and the resistance of the anode is thereby increased to an unacceptable degree. These problems are avoided when using lead or lead alloys or other of the above metals or alloys thereof instead of copper.
- the central cable termination member is preferably a bronze spiral which is pressed into the magnetite in such a manner that contact between the metal coating or plating and the spiral is obtained exactly in or substantially in the middle of the anode, thus providing an even current distribution and avoiding undesirable end-effects.
- the current impressing surface of the magnetite anode member is only partially coated or plated with the electrically conductive metal or metal alloy, since such partial coating or plating may serve to diminish undesired end-effects.
- a magnetite anode for use in impressed current cathodic corrosion protection, said anode comprising a magnetite anode member in the form of a hollow and substantially cylindrical tube open at one end and closed at the opposite end, said tube on its current impressing inner surface being coated or plated with lead metal or an electrically conductive lead alloy, said coating or plating covering said inner surface except for a relatively small area at the upper part of said surface at the open end of said tube and except for a corresponding relatively small area at the closed bottom part of said tube, said coating or plating being connected to a conductive cable termination member in the form of a bronze spiral fixed in conductive connection at a central position or area of said coating or plating, thus providing contact between the coating or plating substantially in the center or central area of said coating or plating.
- An anode of this type is relatively cheap, and the lead coating or plating serves to avoid damages caused by anode coating cracks, and the lead coating, compared to copper, provides substantially identical current discharges along the whole length of the anode and corresponding voltage decreases.
- the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing which shows a preferred embodiment of a magnetite anode according to the invention. The drawing shows a longi tudinal section in a cylindrical anode arrangement.
- a magnetite anode member 10 is coated or plated with a layer 11, preferably a lead or lead alloy layer, which ends at an upper position 17 and at a bottom position 18.
- the metal layer 11 is covered with a plastic compound 12 which also covers those inner parts of the magne tite anode member 10 which are not having a metal layer 11.
- the inside of the tubular anode assembly is filled with a porous body 13, such as expanded polystyrene, and the top of the anode member is closed by means of a plastic cap 16 through which a cable 14 penetrates.
- a cable to anode center connection 15 is in the form of a bronze spiral having electrical contact with the layer 11.
- the anode When using the anode in practice the anode is connected to the positive pole of a direct current supply, where as the material or construction to be protected against corrosion is connected to the negative pole of said direct current supply.
- a direct current supply where as the material or construction to be protected against corrosion is connected to the negative pole of said direct current supply.
