Corrosion is a process involving two poles: the anode and the cathode. With cathodic protection, anodes are used to prevent the corrosion of metal structures. The anode loses electrons, causing the metal on the surface of the structure to dissolve. Meanwhile, the cathode gains electrons, protecting an object from rust. This process is known as the corrosion reaction (anodic dissolution reaction). The anode enables the protection of metal structures against corrosion.

In a cathodic protection system, anodes are used. Anodes are often made from various materials. At Merrem & La Porte, we offer anodes made from materials such as magnesium, silicon, zinc, aluminium, titanium, and MMO (Mixed Metal Oxide).
