MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541040281 A) filed by V. Nidhin, Padiyur, Tamil Nadu, on April 25, 2025, for 'multi-layered sacrificial galvanic anode cathodic system for corrosion protection of reinforced steel.'
Inventor(s) include V. Nidhin.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention pertains to a sacrificial galvanic anode cathodic system engineered to deliver durable and efficient corrosion protection for steel reinforcements. Optimized for operation in both dry and humid environments, the system performs reliably at temperatures exceeding 15 C. A sacrificial metal layers (6), composed of 95% zinc and 5% aluminum, provides superior cathodic protection in high-temperature settings compared to conventional pure zinc anodes with help of inner layers (6) moisture retention and conductivity improving properties. The stainless-steel connectors (3) and high conductive metal core (7) are specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and corrosive conditions, with insulated outer contact points that prevent crevice corrosion and enhance material utilization and makes the invention compact, surpassing traditional steel wire-based systems. Primarily devised for reinforced steel in concrete structures (1), the invention extends its protective capability to steel and other less reactive metals in corrosive environments such as water, soil and concrete. Its versatile applications include industries such as shipbuilding, oil and gas pipelines, chemical storage tanks, water boilers, and high-temperature steam systems."
