Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.91PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
If nickel, make an acceptable sacrificial anode to protect steel should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Sacrificial anodes are those metals which are used as protective layers on metals. Sacrifice anode metals are corroded first in comparison to another metal due to the potential difference.
