Applications of Zinc Wire Rod and Bar

electrodes_zinc-rod

Galvanic Protection

Zinc rods are commonly used as sacrificial anodes to prevent corrosion of critical metal components in the construction and maritime industries. They are essential for protecting structures exposed to saltwater, such as ships and oil platforms.

Grounding Systems

Zinc electrodes are used in grounding systems to provide a low-resistance path for electrical currents and dissipate lightning strikes or fault currents. They are a cost-effective alternative to copper or stainless steel ground rods, especially in less corrosive environments.

Energy Storage and Batteries

Zinc rods and electrodes are employed in energy storage systems, such as batteries and fuel cells, where they act as current collectors and corrosion-resistant layers.

Industrial and Manufacturing

Zinc rods are used in various industrial applications, including producing tools, machinery components, and automotive parts. Their corrosion resistance and durability make them suitable for use in harsh environments.
