Water Heater Extruded Magnesium Anode For Cathodic Protection
Introduction:
Sacrificial anodes are the main component of current cathodic protection systems. These blocks, rods, plates or extruded strips are made of metal alloys that have a lower voltage activity than the structural alloys that need to be protected. In other words, the electron supply that facilitates the dissolution of the primary metal will be transferred or consumed by the "sacrificial" metal.
we provide two types of extruded magnesium alloy anode:Mg-Mn alloy with high potential and AZ31 alloy with standard potential.

Production Process:
1. Casting equipment
The use of high-power resistance furnace can realize automatic
temperature control, and the efficiency of stretching equipment is
greatly improved.
2. Melting and pouring process
Ingredients: According to the requirements of alloy composition,
the required amount of master alloys, magnesium ingots, zinc
ingots, aluminum ingots, bar sawing heads, and other returning
materials should not exceed 10% of the total charge.
Feeding and smelting: Check the crucible according to the
regulations. After meeting the requirements, power on the
resistance furnace, preheat the crucible to 400~500℃, and evenly
sprinkle a layer of powder RJ-2 flux on the bottom and inner wall
of the crucible. Then the charge preheated to above 150°C is added
in sequence. The addition of the charge should be placed as densely
as possible to narrow the gap between the charges. Then gradually
increase the temperature. When 1% of the total charge is melted,
the furnace temperature is adjusted to 730 °C for metamorphism
treatment, and samples are taken for fracture inspection.
The key to adopting the low-pressure oxygen-free pouring process is
the coordination and synchronization of pouring speed, stretching
speed and cooling water volume. Otherwise, there will be
undercasting and breakage of the stretch rod.
3. Inspection and sawing
After the drawn bar products pass the sawing gate and the
appearance inspection, the necessary heat treatment is carried out
in the heat treatment furnace, and then the second sawing is
performed according to the length required by the user.
