Q » What are cathodic protection systems and how do they prevent pipe corrosion?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Cathodic protection systems prevent pipe corrosion by making the metal surface a cathode of an electrochemical cell. This is achieved either by connecting the pipe to a more easily corroded "sacrificial" metal or by using an external power source to supply electrons, thereby reducing oxidation reactions. The process effectively halts corrosion by redirecting potential corrosive reactions to the sacrificial metal or counteracting them with an external current.
