Magnesium anodes feature low density and a relatively negative anode potential. They exhibit high driving voltage for iron, low current efficiency, and generate a large amount of electricity per unit mass.

SY/T0019-97 Design Specification for Cathodic Protection Using Sacrificial Anodes for Buried Steel Pipelines

1. Keep the surface clean and avoid impact with steel structures;

2. When used in soil, install in low-lying, damp areas. The anode should be placed inside a backfill bag before burial;

3. In dry soil regions, after placing the anode package in the pit, thoroughly saturate the backfill material with water before backfilling to ensure adequate electrical conductivity.
