Abstract
Alloys for galvanic anode of this invention include those which contain zinc of 1.0 to 10%, magnesium of 0.1 to 6%, indium of 0.01 to 0.04%, tin of 0.005 to 0.15%, silicon of 0.09 to 1.0%, and calcium or barium or both of 0.005 to 0.45%, the balance being aluminum, and those which contain zinc of 1.0 to 10%, indium of 0.01 to 0.05%, magnesium of 0.05 to 6%, silicon of 0.07 to 1.0%, and calcium or barium or both of 0.01 to 0.5%, the balance being aluminum. The above mentioned alloys of this invention exhibit an exceedingly large output of electric current as compared with conventional alloys, hold the dissolving surfaces uniformly and are exceedingly useful for anticorrosion of large-sized steel structures.
