Impressed current cathodic protection

Do you know what rust is? Rust is the name for iron or steel when they have mixed with air and water. Over time rust can weaken these metals. This is a big deal, because it can damage things that are valuable to us like buildings, bridges and ships just as an example. But don’t worry. This is a creative and much cooler way to prevent rust from taking over your vehicle than just using chassis saver, it's called impressed current cathodic protection

Engineers first set up these things called anodes and cathodes on the steel that requires protection. These are special types of metal that rusts more easily than the type(s) we want to protect. Cathodes, however, are created from an not rusted metal. This SME iccp cathodic protection configuration is vital for creating the ideal atmosphere to not allow rust.

Cutting-edge technology for corrosion resistance

Next, engineers attach the anodes and cathodes using a wire. They also attach them to a power source (like a battery). They wire this power into the line and turn it on when they require electricity to pass through. This flow of electricity leads to a response on the metal surface. That response is what prevents rust from growing and protects the metal

The reason impressed current cathodic protection is so important to consider is that it keeps the structure of our buildings, bridges and other fundamental structures away from rusting. This is most often heavily associated with rust and when we help protect these structures, they will last for years to come. This really matters, as constructing bridges or big buildings are more than very expensive ideas. This is because rust prevention will help these structures to last for quite a while in the future and that means we can avoid spending loads on repairs or replacements later down the line.
