Bracelet Aluminum Anodes

Aluminum is the anode of choice for saltwater environments. Engineered aluminum alloys offer relatively low consumption rates of 7 pounds per ampere-year. Aluminum anodes are available in both Mesalum I and Mesalum III alloys. Mesalum I produces an open circuit potential of -1.05 volts (with respect to an Ag/AgCl reference cell) and realizes a 95% current efficiency. Mesalum III generates a voltage potential of -1.15 volts and has a current efficiency of 85%.
