This invention belongs to the field of
metal material
corrosion protection technology, specifically relating to a highly active aluminum
alloy sacrificial
anode for full
ocean depth and its preparation method. The sacrificial
anode uses Al as the main
raw material, with added alloying elements: Zn, In, Ga, Mg, Ti, Ca, and Mn. The preparation method involves first heating Al and Zn to 750–1000℃, then adding In, Ga, Mg, Ti, Ca, and Mn, and finally
casting at a temperature of 700–750℃. By adding Ca, an octet aluminum
alloy sacrificial
anode for full
ocean depth is formed. The activation ability is improved by the
dissolution and redeposition of In and Ga, the disruption of the continuity and density of the
oxide layer by Zn and Mg, and the activation of the Al matrix surface by micron-level dot pairs. At the same time, Ti refines the grain size, resulting in a uniform and segregated distribution of alloying elements, avoiding internal self-
corrosion, and improving current efficiency. It can be applied to full
ocean depth environments from 0 to 10000 meters, with a current efficiency of 90–95%.
