Magnesium Anodes are used in the Corrosion Control industry. In a process known as Cathodic Protection, Sacrificial Anodes are connected by a cable to an underground natural gas pipe, an oil or water pipe, a propane tank or other such structure. The anode acts like a battery, giving off a low-voltage electrical current so that, over time, the anode corrodes but the structure that is being protected remains like new. Cathodic Protection using magnesium and other types of anodes prevents costly repairs and leaks. Extruded Magnesium Anodes are used to extend the life of home and commercial water heaters.
We supply D-Shaped Cast Magnesium Anodes of both High Potential and Regular Potential (AZ 63C) alloys. The sizes range from 3D3 to 48D5 and 60-pound anodes. Round High Potential one-pound Anodes are also available, as are condenser anodes and all sizes of Extruded Anodes and Magnesium Ribbon.
Magnesium Ribbon Anodes
Extruded magnesium anode ribbon is a flexible anode materials generally used in high resistivity water or soil. Due to the ribbon's greater surface area to weight ration, magnesium ribbon can provide higher current outputs when compared to other magnesium anodes.

Magnesium Anode Ribbon Size & Weight
The anode ribbon is available in only one size, which is a 3/8" x 3/4" rectangle (+/- 0.015") with 1/8" radius corners. A 0.135" galvanized steel core wire is embedded in the length of anode and the anode ribbon weighs approximately 0.243 pounds per lineal foot.
Manufactured in standard 1, 000 foot coils, HB can provide custom or specified configurations as follows:
Cut to a specified length (below 1,000 feet) and supplied with plain ends
Cut to a specified length with the core wire exposed on one or both ends
Cut to a specified length and supplied with a cable lead wire for connection to a structure (specify the cable size, insulation type and length)
