GENERALThe below mentioned alloys have been chosen with great care to ensure an even corrosion pattern, reliable electrical capacity and a long working life. These alloys are used for standard sacrificial anodes. On request Materiaal Metingen Europe can cast anodes with different alloy specifications.

GENERALTraditionally many companies prefer to use zinc instead of aluminium. MME advices the use of aluminium instead of zinc for the following reasons:

1. Price of anode material

Due to the fact that the capacity of aluminium (2700 A hr/Kg) is almost 3.5 times higher than zinc (780 A hr /Kg) the total amount of required anode material (Kg) is less. This results in a cheaper Cathodic Protection System to that given by zinc with an equal level of protection.

2. Price of InstallationAs the total weight of anode material for a system using aluminium is less compared to a system using zinc anodes the installation costs for a system using aluminium anodes will also be less.

3. Multi EffectiveIn brackish water aluminium anodes work more effectively than zinc, due to the higher driving voltage of aluminium.

4. Environmental PollutionCompared to aluminium alloys, zinc is considered to be less neutral to the environment.

For anodes used in water ballast and other tanks see chapter Choosing tank anodes (page 5).

In saltwater, both Zinc and Aluminium are suitable, but aluminium has a better re-activation performance.

Aluminium is the recommended material for brackish water.

On pure fresh water magnesium is the best performing anode material.With polluted water or when a boat is temporary in brackish water, aluminium is the preferred anode.

The recommendations apply to steel structures. For more detailed information, please consult your local distributor.

ANODE RECOMMENDATIONS

A LONGER LIFE

5 van 156

GENERALTraditionally many vessels are fitted with sacrificial anodes for external protection (hull). For achieving the same protection of the internal construction of the vessel (mainly water ballast tanks) sacrificial anodes can also be used. However due, to the fact that tanks are inherently complex structures as well as being confined spaces, the use of anodes has to be well engineered and the following rules adhered to:

1. Effect of ballast tank anodes

The ballast tank anodes will be without effect when the ballast tanks are empty. It will take some time to obtain full effect (polarisation) of submerged steel surfaces after filling with seawater. In the ullage space or under deck area on top of tanks the anodes will not be effective unless the tank is completely filled.

2. The use of zinc / aluminium or magnesium alloy anodes

Anode alloy materials based on zinc or aluminium are acceptable, magnesium alloy is not allowed. Ballast tanks adjacent to tanks for liquid cargo with a flash point < 60 C are to be considered as dangerous areas. Aluminium alloy anodes are to be located in such way that the kinetic energy which is developed in case of loosening and falling down will be < 275 J. This means that in these areas the maximum height (in mtr) of an aluminium anode above tank bottom, deck or stringer may not exceed the value obtained by 28 / W, where W is the gross weight of the anode. Furthermore classification societies may require structures to be installed to protect the aluminium anodes from being hit by falling objects. Please consult your local surveyor / classification society branch office for full details.

3. Welding or bolting type anodesFor a good operation of the anodes it is vital to have a good electrical conductivity between the ship structure and the anodes. This can be obtained either by welding (preferably) or bolting the anodes to the ship structure. In case bolting type anodes are requested the optional M clamps can be used (see page 134).

For the pros and cons of the use of zinc or aluminium alloys for sacrificial anodes used see chapter Choosing zinc or aluminium as alloy for sacrificial anodes (page 3).
