Abstract:
      Objective To design a new anode with configuration optimization to increase the current output in the initial stage, polarize the cathode protected rapidly, decrease current output in the later stage and meet the needs of the average and the end protection current demand, so as to achieve the purpose of saving sacrificial anode, under the premise of similar quality with conventional anode. Methods Two wings of optimization design were added at both sides of the traditional anode to design a new sacrificial anode. Sea test in allusion to new anode and conventional anode of medium dimension was carried out. Results Compared with the conventional anode, the current output of new anode in the initial stage increased by 11%, and then increased to 18%, which promoted the polarization of cathode to the protection potential rapidly. After the wings were completely consumed, both new anode and conventional anode were cylindrical, and their current output was equivalent. Conclusion On the premise of similar quality with conventional anode, the new anode can promote the polarization of cathode protected to the protection potential and saves sacrificial anode.
