Abstract:
      Objective To evaluate electrochemical properties of aluminum alloy sacrificial anode in the deep sea environment. Methods In this paper, electrochemical properties of three kinds of aluminum sacrificial anode in the South China Sea with 1200 m depth were measured with deep sea testing technique and equipment of State Key Laboratory for Marine Corrosion and Protection, Luoyang Ship Material Research Institute. Results The open circuit potential was about ?1.17 V (vs Ag/AgCl) and the working potential was in the range of ?1.11 to ?0.91 V when the three anodes were in a deep sea environment of 1200m. The practical current capacity of 1# and 2# were both below 2400 A?h/kg and current efficiency were about 80%, and their dissolution morphologies were not uniform and corrosion product deposited on the surface. The practical current capacity of 3# was about 2500 A?h/kg and the current efficiency was more than 85%, however there was large undissolved area and corrosion productions adherent to the anode surface. Conclusion The study result provides supports for cathodic protection design of deep-sea engineering equipment.
