Service Experience With Lead-Silver Alloy Anodes in Cathodic Protection of Ships

Abstract An alloy of lead-2% silver has been used experimentally as an impressed current system for cathodic protection of an active destroyer. This paper describes the anodes and their associated equipment and method of fitting. Data are given on the performance of this system after one year's service and comparison of performance and costs are made with existing impressed current and galvanic systems. 5.2.3
