An updated version of sacrificial anodes for cathodic protection of structures immersed in seawater was recently patented. The anode, constructed in two anodic materials (aluminum alloy on the inside and magnesium alloy on the surface), offers significant reductions in weight and cost. These reductions are due to the highly protective calcareous deposit that forms on the immersed structure when these anodes are used. Characteristics of the deposit and anode performance are reported.
