Sacrificial Anodes

How sacrificial anodes work

Marine structures, primarily constructed from steel, are highly vulnerable to corrosion due to exposure to seawater, which acts as an electrolyte. To prevent this process of gradual material reduction, sacrificial anodes made of more active metals like zinc, aluminum or magnesium are used. These anodes, attached to the steel structure, oxidize more easily, they turn the structure itself into a cathode and protecting it from corrosion.

MME Group has decades of experience in applying sacrificial anodes for salt, brackish or fresh water in different sizes.

We have the following types of anodes in our range:

  • Zinc
  • Aluminum
  • Magnesium
