Abstract:
Es wird ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines kathodischen Korrosionsschutzes zum Schutz von Bewehrungsstahl (2) in einem Stahlbetonbauwerk (1) angegeben, bei dem der Chlorid-induzierten Korrosion ausgesetzte Stahlbetonbauwerke besonders einfach und dauerhaft vor Korrosion geschützt werden können. Darüber hinaus soll der kathodische Korrosionsschutz besonders schnell und sowohl bei Neubauten als auch im Rahmen einer Sanierung/Nachrüstung realisiert werden können. Dazu wird auf den Stahlbeton ein Textilbeton (8) appliziert, wobei der Textilbeton (8) ein Carbongewebe (10) und einen Mörtel umfasst, wobei zwischen einer Kathode und einer Anode eine elektrische Dauerspannung angelegt wird und wobei der Bewehrungsstahl (2) als Kathode und das Carbongewebe (10) als Anode verwendet wird.
Abstract:
This invention relates to galvanic aluminum alloy powder-pigments coated with semi-conducting corrosion inhibiting compositions and to the process for preparing said coated powder-pigments for coating metal substrates to inhibit corrosion. The coated aluminum alloy powder-pigments are electrically active and prevent corrosion of metals which are more cathodic (electropositive) than the coated aluminum alloy pigments.
Abstract:
Mixed-metal-oxide (MMO) coated precious-metal tape is installed directly on concrete surfaces using an electrically conductive adhesive, thereby obviating the need for slots, holes, cementitious grout or additional concrete. The electrically conductive adhesive is preferably formed by disposing mixed-metal-oxide (MMO) coated precious-metal particles in an adhesive layer. The tape anodes may be installed on the concrete surfaces including a shallow concrete cover or congested reinforcing steel without developing an electrical short circuit between the anode and the reinforcing steel. Overall the invention provides for quick and low cost installation on many concrete structures. Interconnections between the tape anodes and bare metal distribution elements may be made with conductive adhesive or spot welding.

Abstract:
The present invention concerns devices apt to protect from corrosion metallic tanks (1) containing liquids to be heated, water heaters in particular. According to the invention, a non-consumable type electrode, for cathode protection in particular, consists of the armour (5.1), preferably in titanium or its alloys, of one or more armoured electric resistances (5). Part of the surface of the said armour (5.1) can be subjected to a treatment that prevents the supply of current. The advantages of the invention include the constructional simplification of the electrodes and the fact that no scale deposits are formed on the surfaces of the armours (5.1) used as electrodes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to corrosion protection for a metal pole (1) that is anchored vertically in the ground. Said protection is characterised in that the pole has a cathodic connection and is surrounded by a closed and at least approximately annular protective anode (4, 7) positioned in the ground (3) at a distance. In the case of a galvanic cathodic corrosion protection, the protective anode is connected as a sacrificial anode (4) directly to the pole (1) and in the case of an electrolytic cathodic corrosion protection is connected as an inert anode (7) directly to the positive pole of a direct current voltage source (6), to whose other pole the pole (1) is connected.
Abstract:
The present invention falls into the field of systems for protection against the corrosion of the internal surfaces of boilers and similar apparatus. An electrode (11) runs across the entire length of a support (1). The watertight seal between the support (1) and a tank (15) is guaranteed by an O-ring (7). The sealing action against water between the support (1) and the rod (10) of the electrode (11) is achieved by at least one washer (9) positioned in the thickness of the body of the support (1). The support (1) is reversible and can be mounted either from inside or outside the tank to be protected.
Abstract:
Cathodic protection of a structure including a steel member at least partly buried in a covering layer, such as steel rebar in a concrete structure, is provided by embedding sacrificial anodes into the concrete layer at spaced positions over the layer and connecting the anodes to the rebar. Each anode is inserted into a drilled hole in the layer and is electrically attached to the rebar in the same or an adjacent hole by a steel pin which is attached to the reinforcement by arc welding or by impact. In the arrangement where the anode and the attachment are in the same hole, the pin passes through a bore in the anode so as to hold the anode rigidly within the hole. The hole is filled by a settable filler material. In order to maintain effective current conduction from the anode to the reinforcement through the filler and the concrete over an extended period to maintain the required protection, there is added to the filler, to a covering layer on the anode body or to the anode body itself a first material to hold the pH at the anode in a preferred range of the order of 12 to 14 and a second deliquescent material to absorb moisture.
Abstract:
Control of lead contamination in residential water supplies is accomplished by cathodic protection of lead-containg piping and lead-containing fixtures. Specifically, a partially insulated wire (3) is inserted into lead-containing service lateral piping (2). A pplication of a DC current to the partially insulated wire (3) causes the wire (3) to act as an anode and transforms the walls of the pipe (2) into the cathode, thereby protecting against corrosion. Alternatively, a sacrificial anode (14) is inserted into a lead-containing fixture (12). The electrical potential generated by corrosion of this sacrificial anode (14) transforms the walls of the fixture (12) into a cathode, thereby preventing corrosion. Carbonate scaling built-up prior to the initiation of cathodic protection may be removed by temporarily blocking the water pipe and introducing cleaning chemicals.
