Without engines and steering devices, boats cannot move through the water. This vital equipment must work efficiently for recreational and commercial use. However, the metal components used for the engine and as steering for the boat, such as the rudders, outboards, metal struts, stern drives and outboard fittings, can be damaged from the water. Galvanic…
Featuring Mil Spec zinc anodes, MIL-DTL-18001 (Type ZHS, ZHB, ZSS, ZEP, and more) and ultra-pure anodes to ASTM B418 Type II.
Belmont Metals has been a leading manufacturer of Zinc Cathodic Anodes. Cathodic Protection, also referred to as a sacrificial cathode, is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. A simple method of protection connects protected metal to a more easily corroded “ sacrificial metal “ to act as the anode. The sacrificial metal then corrodes instead of the protected metal.
Applications:
Zinc Cathodic Anodes are used to protect a wide range of metallic structures in various environments. Common applications are, steel water or fuel pipelines and storage tanks such as home water heaters , steel pier piles as well as boat, ship and submarine hulls along with seawater sides of condensers and other heat exchangers. All Zinc Anodes are available for Government use with full certification as well as for Industrial use.
Forms:
Type ZHS, ZHC, ZSS, ZEP ( STYLE A, B & C ) , ZTS, ZRN with shapes outlined in specification MIL-A-18001. Belmont Metals also offers custom formula, shapes, sizes & straps. Also available are Zinc Replacement Elements and Brass Plugs ( Type ZDT & ZDM ) along with Zinc Pencil Anodes and Brass Plugs.

Ship Protection: Zinc Cathodic Anodes Prevents Corrosion
When it comes to materials exposed to water, certain metals will corrode faster than others. This problem is serious for ships that are out in freshwater or saltwater environments. Iron metal is used extensively throughout a ship, from the hull’s body to mechanical equipment, as this material is the most corrosion-prone metal. Other metals also…
Marine Engine Protection: Zinc Rods and Engine Anodes Preventing Corrosion
When thinking about marine operations, whether used in commercial, private or military applications, we typically think about boats and ships traveling long distances across ocean waters.

Keeping Vessels Seaworthy: Common Marine Anode Capabilities
Countless commercial and private operations encounter corrosive environmental elements on a daily basis. Ship vessels, tanks, pipelines, and platforms come in contact with seawater that can erode metal parts such as hulls, rudders, keels, heat exchangers and other components. Disrupting the electrical flow properties of the seawater that creates corrosion is essential to prolong the…
Sacrificial Anodes: Zinc Protecting Parts from Salt Water

Zinc anodes can extend the useful life of metal parts Anyone who has spent time near beaches knows that metal items exposed to saltwater begin to rust quickly. Freshwater encourages oxidation, as well, but because saltwater is a good conductor, electrons move easily through it, accelerating the reactions that cause corrosion. Cathodic protection is one…
