What Metals Are Used in Sacrificial Anode Rods?
Sacrificial anodes are usually made from relatively pure active
metals, such as magnesium, aluminum, or zinc. These more active
metals (anodes) oxidize and corrode much faster than the less
active metals (cathodes).
Magnesium generates around -1.6 volts
Aluminum generates around -1.1 volts
Zinc generates around -1.05 volts
As a result, magnesium anode rods tend to work better (succumbs to
corrosion faster), but don’t last as long as other metals.
The anode rod is “self-sacrificing” and will continue to corrode until eventually it must be
replaced. When there’s no sacrificial metal left on the anode, the
tank can rust out, eventually causing it to burst.
