Offset Aluminium Anode with Dual-Bend Flat Bar Insert
- This stand-off aluminium anode features a trapezoidal cross-section and is molded onto a cranked, galvanized steel flat bar insert. The integrated steel core can be welded directly to the surface of the steel structure it’s designed to protect, creating a strong and reliable bond. Unlike flush-mounted anodes, this stand-off aluminium anode is designed to protrude from the installed surface, meaning the anode material does not directly touch the surface it protects. This design allows for more efficient use of the anode material over its lifespan, with an anode utilization factor reaching between 85 to 90%.
- This anode is employed for the cathodic protection of nearshore structures or marine engineering facilities. Its applications include offshore platform jackets, drilling rigs, harbor walls and jetties, wind farms, and reclamation projects like piles and sheet piles.
