Aluminium and its alloys have excellent durability and corrosion resistance, but, like most materials, their behaviour can be influenced by the way in which they are used. Aluminium is commercially important metal and its alloys are widely used in many industries such as reaction vessels, pipes, machinery and chemical batteries because of their advantages. Aluminium is a well-known sacrificial anode if couple with more passive metal as it is most reliable and cost effective anode. Aluminium sacrificial anode has been used in major project all over the world. It is used in offshore application including structures, platforms, pipelines, jetties and power plants. Aluminium anode is also used for ship-hull and ballasttank protection.
