Cathodic Protection (Cathodic protection is a method used to prevent metal structures (like pipelines, tanks, or ships) from corroding. It works by making the metal act as a “cathode” in an electrochemical cell, either by attaching a more easily corroded metal (called a sacrificial anode) or by using an external power source. This slows or stops rust and extends the life of the structure.)
