Any boat, whether in freshwater, brackish water, or saltwater, is vulnerable to galvanic corrosion and requires anode protection. Because not all anodes are appropriate for every environment, it is critical to match the anode material to the type of water in which a vessel operates. Martyr zinc alloys are resistant to saltwater, whereas aluminum alloys are resistant to both salt and brackish water. Magnesium is the only alloy has been shown to preserve metals in fresh water. Anodes may need to be changed more frequently to provide adequate cathodic protection on vessels that move between environments.
Key Features
- It is a powerful base metal that is far less resistant to galvanic and electrolytic corrosion than most other metals.
- It serves as a sacrificial metal because it emits electrons and corrodes before the other metals in the motor are affected.
