Abstract:
      Objective To research electrochemical performance of Al-Mg-Ga sacrificial anode and the proper ties of the composite anode, which were combined with the standand aluminium alloy sacrificial anode. Methods An Al-Mg-Ga aluminium alloy sacrificial anode was designed to study electrochemical property, initial polarization property and coupling potential with Al-Zn-In matrix anode at different area ratio by 4-day acceleration test and simulation field test. SEM and EDX analysis were used to discuss the excitation mechanism. Results The open circuit potential and working potential of Al-Mg0.6%-Ga0.05% sacrificial anode were more negative, reaching -1.5 V (vs. SCE) and -1.3 V (vs. SCE) respectively. It was suitable to be used as active anode in composite anode. The simulation field test showed that the initial polarization property of Al-Al composite anode was good in cathodic protection. It could put large current to get the coupling potential between -1.2 to -1.3 V (vs. SCE). Conclusion The initial current sent by Al-Al composite anode developed is 3 times more than that of the middle current, at the same time, the area ratio of different design of composite anode coupled potential is 1.2 - 1.3 V (vs. SCE).
