TITANIUM BASED MESH ANODE IN THE CATHODIC PROTECTION OF REINFORCING BARS IN CONCRETE

The platinised titanium type of electrode is a well-proven high current density anode for marine cathodic protection systems but to date has not been intended as an anode buried directly in the ground. Its use as a low current density anode in the form of wire mesh embedded in concrete in the impressed current cathodic protection of steel reinforcing bars is now possible principally because of significant improvements in the construction of the active coating to allow high levels of durability as an oxygen/chlorine evolving anode in acid media. Experimental evidence for the good durability of coated titanium mesh in acid media is provided. The application of such mesh as an anode in the impressed current cathodic protection of reinforcing bars in concrete is described. (Author/TRRL)
