An electric current supply system (20) is designed to be at least partially submerged in an electrically conductive liquid during operation thereof, and having at least one electrically conductive component (21, 22, 23, 24) enveloped in liquid-tight material (40). The component (21, 22, 23, 24) has a sacrificial material that is capable of reacting electrochemically with the liquid. Further, the component (21, 22, 23, 24) has at least one gas trap portion (50) at which the sacrificial material occupies a space in the liquid-tight material (40) that is thereby defined with a gas trapping shape. If, in case of damage to the system (20) in an actual submerged state thereof, the component (21, 22, 23, 24) gets exposed to the liquid, it is achieved that an electrochemical reaction occurring at the exposed area of the component (21, 22, 23, 24) and an outflow of electric current to the liquid are stopped.

Disclosed herein is a reference half-cell including a tube including an electron interface made of polypropylene graphite, an electrolyte solution, a metal electrode, and a seal. Alternatively, the reference half-cell may be employed without an electrolyte solution and a seal. The electron interface along the first end of the tube may be either an integrated part of the tube or a component separate from and affixed at its ends to the tube to maintain the electron interface in a stationary position relative to the tube. The use of electrically conductive polypropylene for the electron interface provides a half-cell that has good electrically conductivity and high moisture inhibitiveness and, as a result, has an improved service life.

A computing device of an information handling system includes a connector that receives a component, the connector including a contact that forms a physical connection, with the component, that supports an electrical connection between the connector and the component, the contact includes an interface surface, disposed in a high corrosion risk area of the connector, that forms the physical connection with the component while the component is disposed in the connector. The computing device also includes a corrosion management component that: reduces a rate of corrosion of the contact in the high corrosion risk area of the connector, and increases a second rate of corrosion in a low corrosion risk area of the connector.

A method of making cerium citrate includes combining cerium carbonate and citric acid to produce cerium citrate and carbon dioxide. The cerium citrate is substantially free of negative ions other than citrate. The cerium citrate can be used in a corrosion inhibitor composition.

An apparatus for enhancing the performance of skimmer baskets in swimming pools and preventing corrosion in pool equipment is disclosed. The apparatus may be disposed beneath a skimmer basket and may function as a filter for solid waste, while simultaneously acting as a sacrificial component for corrosion prevention of essential pool equipment. Manufactured using a galvanic anode, the apparatus may effectively prevent debris from entering the skimmer pumping system. The dimensions of the apparatus may be customized based on various factors, such as the size and shape of the pool, the skimmer basket, and the pump system used. With adjustable or modular components, the apparatus allows users to adapt the device to their specific needs and is designed for easy installation, removal, and cleaning. The apparatus may be installed in swimming pools, hot tubs, or other water-containing structures requiring filtration and corrosion protection.

A fastening assembly includes a panel defining an aperture, a fastener having a head, a shaft portion extending from the head, and a recess formed in the head, and a sacrificial primary anode insert disposed in the recess. The sacrificial primary anode insert is configured to corrode at a rate faster than a corrosion rate of the fastener.

A corrosion resistant article including an aluminum substrate and a corrosion-inhibiting cerium based corrosion inhibitor corrosion inhibiting additive on the aluminum substrate, the corrosion inhibiting additive comprising an anodic corrosion inhibitor and a cathodic corrosion inhibitor, the anodic corrosion inhibitor greater than 25 wt % of the total inhibitor.

The invention relates to an offshore installation, comprising an underwater foundation structure, a construction placed onto the foundation structure, a docking device for a boat, and a device for cathodic corrosion protection for the underwater foundation structure, said device having at least two anodes (2), which are arranged at a distance from each other and are each fastened to a beam (4) or a support of the foundation structure, the extension arms or the supports being connected directly to the foundation structure below the waterline.

A fastening assembly includes a panel defining an aperture, a fastener having a head, a shaft portion extending from the head, and a recess formed in the head, and a sacrificial primary anode insert disposed in the recess. The sacrificial primary anode insert is configured to corrode at a rate faster than a corrosion rate of the fastener.

A corrosion protection device, system, and method are provided. The device may operate while being coupled to the object being protected and to a power source using a total of only two terminals. This may be accomplished by de-referencing the return path node of the circuit using a choke device that blocks a temporal AC component of an anti-corrosion signal. The choke device therefore diverts the anti-corrosion signal to a single negative/ground path to the object and then returns through a positive lead of the circuit. A two terminal corrosion protection device may thereby simplify the installation process, for example on a vehicle, by not requiring that another connection be made to the object at a spaced apart location from a first connection to the object.
