Study the Corrosion of Iron Steel in Presence of Sacrificial Anode in Different pH Media

Corrosion is a common concern that arise from the use of iron metal components in daily life, both at home and industrial scale. Cathodic protection employing sacrificial anode one several ways for preventing corrosion it method underground pipes, ships, storage tanks. The to be protected second called are two essential this prevention approach. This study involved preparing corrosive cells with different media periods time. It aimed application principle anodes by using zinc as copper respectively pH (1,3,5,7,9 and11) immersion times (30, 60 90 days). magnitudes percentage (% corrosion) rate (CR) was observed weight loss Fe without protection, Fe/Zn couple Fe/Cu couple. CR varies varied acid alkaline concentrations, according findings. findings showed large acidic media, varying degrees, compared neutral media. A promising results were obtained which rates reduced determined applying anode.
