Been around any old metal boat or something of metal in water for a long time? If you have, did you realized that it no longer looks as shiny and new? So while the metal is slowly rusting away. When it comes to metal objects, rust can make them appear old beaten up and damaged or even cause issues that sink funds. But were you aware that they have a convenient device called sacrificial anode and impressed current cathodic protections to keep corrosion from occurring?
What are copper anodes? Copper sacrificial anodes are essentially little bits of copper metal. They are bolted to other metallic structures, such as yachts, for corrosion protection. What makes copper anodes so special is that they attract rust to them. It will mean the copper anodes rusting as opposed to the metal object. This works like having a shield that absorbs all damage for the metal you are planning to save!
This set up is based on galvanic series, an idea in science which make iccp anodes worked. In result, One metal will rust faster than the other one when they touch(scissor and leaf). In this example case, the relatively more ''active'' copper anode (''metals such as magnesium and zinc are more active than iron in terms of corrosion reactions'', according to Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 1 E1527-13) would corrode long before the steel it is meant to protect. This is actually great because it will protect the other metal from rusting. It feels like a super-hero swooping in to protect and save the day.
Driskell Control Solutions make it simple for SME users, with the availability of their copper anodes for electroplatings for easy installation and available in all sizes to suit your metal affair. Well, here are few steps on installation of these your boat :
Find the parts that Need Protecting: The easiest way to see where you want to prevent your boat from rust is by discovering which regions of your ship will need protection. Often the propeller, rudder and so forth which is typically important metal parts in water.
Copper sacrificial anodes in place on a boat begin to protect metal any time you install them. The water or moisture close to the metal gets the anodes rusted rather than the metallic object. When the copper anode and water are in a solution together, the water reacts with the copper anode to create copper ions, which then go into the solution. The process in nature mean this, it makes the metal slower or even stopping rust to form on it and helping you from losing your belongings by wemonrust.
To give you an idea of how powerful copper sacrificial anodes can be, consider a scenario. Suppose you own a boat that you enjoy fishing trips with. A steel boat might not be awarded the same form of protection as would a copper sacrificial anodes, particularly when it has a bronze propeller else both the steel and shallow outboard parts are gone to start rusting. And if you are lucky, the rust will make your metal so weak that it might sit and get worse (or it could fail because...) This could cause for some very hefty repair costs or you can be cruising on the water and accidents happen. Instead, if you make use of copper anodes, you can prevent all those ruin from happening and keep your boat in proper shape!
