Innovation: |
Conductive Ceramic Coated Anodes for Cathodic Protection |
|
||
|
Year: |
1990 |
|||
|
Description: |
Cathodic protection of metallic structures buried in the soil or immersed in water uses anodes through which an electric current is passed and which eventually are consumed. USACERL developed a breakthrough in cathodic protection with the ceramic anode which is tough and long lasting. The ceramic anode consists of a titanium metal (valve metal) substrate coated with a precious mixed metal oxide film. Ceramic anodes have been patented and are now commercial products. |
