In the cathodic protection system an electrode, of a metal other than steel, is attached to a steel structure in order to protect it from corrosion. The electrode, known as a sacrificial anode, corodes away and in the process sets up electric currents which protect the main structure. 5, record 1, English, - sacrificial%20anode

Le courant de protection cathodique peut être obtenu [...] à l'aide d'anodes sacrificielles [...] Une grande pile primitive peut être formée dans l'eau ou le sol, le métal agissant comme cathode et un métal moins noble tel que le magnésium, aluminium ou zinc agissant comme anode. Quand l'anode est reliée électriquement au métal à protéger, un courant électrique passe par l'eau ou le sol, protégeant complètement le métal contre la corrosion.
