Article Synopsis
- Al-Zn-In alloys with 4.2% zinc and varying indium content (0.02-0.2%) were tested for their electrochemical properties as sacrificial anodes in cathodic protection, focusing on current capacity and operating potential.
- The EDX mapping confirmed that indium and zinc were well-distributed in the alloy, but increasing indium content reduced the current capacity, leading to a greater anode material consumption and shorter lifespan (from 2500 Ah/kg at 0.02% In to 1750 Ah/kg at 0.2% In).
- Higher indium content also resulted in a more uneven corrosion pattern with larger pits, but alloys with up to 0.05% In showed
