China Magnesium Anode Suppliers & Factory for Effective Cathodic Protection Against Corrosion
Advantage
The most common metals used in the manufacture anodes include zinc, aluminium and magnesium.
The magnesium anode is characterized by small density, big theory electric capacity, low potential negative polarization rate and large driving voltage for iron and steel.
Our High Potential Magnesium Anodes and Standard Magnesium Anodes can meet your different requirements.
Application
Magnesium anodes are effective and affordable for anti-corrosion of buried pipelines, onshore platforms, huge boilers, and steel structures in salt and fresh water, including:
- Hulls of ships and boats
- Water storage tanks
- Piers, docks, and wharfs
- Pipelines
- Heat exchangers
Corroco is an approved Mg anode manufacturer for ARAMCO. Its Pure Mg, Mg-Mn, and Mg-Al-Zn anodes are widely used in pipeline and tank protection worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary advantages of using Magnesium Anodes?
Magnesium anodes offer a high driving voltage, small density, and large theoretical electric capacity, making them highly effective for cathodic protection of steel structures in high-resistance environments.
In what environments are Magnesium Anodes typically used?
They are ideal for buried pipelines, onshore platforms, water storage tanks, and hulls of ships in both fresh and salt water environments.
What is the difference between High Potential and AZ63 anodes?
High Potential anodes provide a higher open circuit voltage (1.70-1.78V) compared to AZ63 (1.50-1.55V), which is beneficial in high-resistivity soils where more "push" is needed to protect the structure.
What does a prepackaged Magnesium Anode contain?
A prepackaged anode typically includes the bare magnesium anode, a specialized cable connection, and a backfill mixture consisting of 75% Gypsum, 20% Bentonite, and 5% Sodium Sulphate.
Is Corroco a certified manufacturer?
Yes, Corroco is an ARAMCO-approved manufacturer. Our anodes are widely used in global pipeline and tank protection projects and meet strict international standards.
Can Magnesium Anodes be used for heat exchangers?
Yes, they are commonly used in heat exchangers, boilers, and other industrial water-handling equipment to prevent localized corrosion and extend the lifespan of the equipment.
