Extruded Magnesium Rod Anodes for Cathodic Protection
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.
