When it comes to protecting valuable infrastructure from corrosion, sacrificial anodes remain one of the most effective, reliable solutions available. At Structural-India, we often receive inquiries from clients across a variety of industries seeking clarity on how sacrificial anodes work, their applications, and how to ensure optimal performance. Below, our experts answer the most frequently asked questions about Sacrificial Anodes Service India.

—

### 1. **What is a sacrificial anode and how does it work?**

A sacrificial anode is a highly active metal piece intentionally installed to protect another metal structure from corrosion. The anode corrodes (“sacrifices” itself) instead of the protected metal, such as steel pipelines, storage tanks, or marine vessels. This process, known as cathodic protection, ensures the longevity and structural integrity of critical assets.

### 2. **Which industries commonly use sacrificial anodes in India?**

Sacrificial anodes are widely used in industries including:

– Oil & gas (pipelines and storage tanks)

– Marine (ship hulls, offshore platforms, jetties)

– Water treatment (underground water tanks, pipelines)

– Infrastructure (bridges, concrete reinforcement)

Structural-India services clients across these sectors, offering customized solutions tailored to specific environmental and operational requirements.

### 3. **What metals are commonly used as sacrificial anodes?**

The three most common types of sacrificial anodes are:

– **Zinc anodes**: Ideal for seawater environments.

– **Magnesium anodes**:

– **Aluminum anodes**: Used in marine and offshore structures where reduced weight is crucial.

Our experts help select the right anode type based on your project’s specific needs.

### 4. **How do I know which anode material is right for my project?**

Choosing the right anode material depends on various factors, including:

– The environment (soil resistivity, water salinity)

– The type of metal to be protected

– Required lifespan and maintenance schedule

Structural-India conducts comprehensive site surveys and assessments to recommend the best-suited anode material for your application.

### 5. **How long does a sacrificial anode last?**

The lifespan of a sacrificial anode depends on:

– The environment’s aggressiveness

– The size and composition of the anode

– The surface area of the structure being protected

.
