Titanium ribbon anode 6.35x0.635mm for cathodic protection (ICCP)
in Fine Sand and Concrete
titanium ribbon anode with dimensions of 6.35x0.635mm is a type of
impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) anode commonly used in
applications involving fine sand and concrete.
ICCP is a method of protecting metallic structures from corrosion
by using an external electrical current to counteract the natural
electrochemical process that causes corrosion. Titanium is a
popular material for ICCP anodes because it is highly resistant to
corrosion and has a long lifespan.
The ribbon shape of the anode allows for a large surface area of
contact with the sand or concrete, which is important for effective
cathodic protection. The small size of the anode also makes it easy
to install and integrate into the structure being protected.
In applications involving fine sand and concrete, the titanium
ribbon anode is typically buried directly in the sand or embedded
in the concrete. The external electrical current is then applied to
the anode, which creates a protective current flow that counteracts
the corrosion process.
Overall, the use of a titanium ribbon anode with dimensions of
6.35x0.635mm is a popular choice for ICCP in applications involving
fine sand and concrete due to its corrosion resistance, long
lifespan, and effectiveness in providing cathodic protection.

Titanium ribbon anode 6.35x0.635mm for cathodic protection (ICCP)
in Fine Sand and Concrete application case
Here is an example of a cathodic protection (ICCP) application for
a titanium ribbon anode with dimensions of 6.35x0.635mm in fine
sand and concrete:
A concrete jetty that extends into the sea is experiencing
corrosion on its steel reinforcement bars due to the saltwater
environment. To prevent further corrosion and extend the lifespan
of the structure, ICCP will be implemented using titanium ribbon
anodes.
The anodes will be buried in a trench around the perimeter of the
jetty and embedded in fine sand, which will provide electrical
contact with the anodes. The ribbon anodes will be spaced at
regular intervals along the trench to ensure even current
distribution.
The anodes will be connected to a DC power source that will supply
a protective current to the structure. The current output of the
anodes will be adjusted based on the size of the jetty and the
level of corrosion protection needed.
The titanium ribbon anodes will be coated with MMO to improve the
efficiency and durability of the anodes in the harsh saltwater
environment. The anodes will be connected to tinned copper or
platinum wire, which will be crimped or welded to the anode ribbon.
The expected lifespan of the titanium ribbon anodes in this
application is 20-25 years, depending on the specific conditions of
the environment. Regular monitoring and maintenance of the ICCP
system will ensure that the anodes continue to provide effective
corrosion protection over their lifespan.
