Abstract

The invention relates to an aluminum alloy sacrificial anode suitable for an abyssal environment. The sacrificial anode comprises (wt%) the components as follows: zinc 2.0-5.5, indium 0.03-0.08, magnesium 0.5-2.0, titanium 0.05-0.2, gallium 0.05-0.55, manganese 0.02-1.2, impurities not higher than 0.30 (sum of ferrum, copper and nickel is not higher than 0.15, and the sum of silicon and calcium is not higher than 0.15), and A00 aluminum as a main raw material in balance. The sacrificial anode is manufactured by casting technique or other metallurgical means. The sacrificial anode has an operating potential in an abyssal environment of -1.05-(-1.10) V and current efficiency of higher than 90%; has the advantages of good activation property, uniform dissolution pattern, and reduced local corrosion and dissolution of aluminum alloy anode in the abyssal environment; and can be used for protecting the cathode of a metal structure in the abyssal environment.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an aluminum alloy sacrificial anode suitable for cathodic protection in deep sea environment, belonging to the technical field of corrosion protection of metal materials in marine environment. Background technique: [0002] The marine environment is a harsh corrosive environment, and metal structures serving in the marine environment usually adopt cathodic protection corrosion protection technology. The sacrificial anode cathodic protection method is widely used in the corrosion protection of marine environment structures due to its advantages of convenient installation and simple maintenance. Sacrificial anodes mainly used zinc alloy sacrificial anodes at first. With the solution of aluminum alloy indium activation technology, aluminum alloy sacrificial anodes have been widely used in marine steel sacrificial anode cathodic protection technology due to their wide source of raw materials and large theoretical capacitance. . ...
