Aluminium Anode

The chemical composition of DERUI aluminum anodes is based on the well established Al-Zn-In alloy and it is suitable for most sea water applications. The quality of the anode and especially the alloying procedure is of outmost importance for the performance of aluminum anodes which are generally more susceptible to passivation than zinc. However aluminum alloys have an electrochemical capacity which is more than 3 times greater than the capacity of zinc and it is nowadays the most widely used alloy for the Cathodic protection of ships and other marine metallic structures. 


Product Details

DERUI anodes are manufactured from primary metals of high purity, homogenized in large scale melting furnaces and have pre-casting quality control in order to secure that the concentration of all important elements (either impurities or alloying elements) even in very low concentrations is strictly conforming with the specification.

Other special formulations of Al Alloys are also available but mainly used in special offshore application (protection of sub sea pipelines, jetties etc).

In order to improve anode performance and guarantee that concentration of residual elements is low enough, we use high purity primary aluminum row materials to produce our alloys.

Bismuth, Gallium and Manganese can further enhance the de-passivating action of Indium and improve the dissolution pattern of the anode.
