La protection cathodique d'un ouvrage métallique en contact avec un électrolyte consiste à placer cet ouvrage à un potentiel électrique négatif tel que la corrosion devienne thermodynamiquement impossible, c'est-à-dire sous l'effet d'un courant cathodique. Il existe deux façons d'abaisser le potentiel d'une structure métallique au dessous du seuil d'immunité: la protection par anode sacrificielle et la protection par courant imposé. 4, record 1, French, - courant%20impos%C3%A9
