Aluminum anode degradation in cooling water
Aluminum anode degradation in cooling water
(OP)
I have noticed that aluminum anodes (not sure if they were indium alloyed, but they should have been that or mercury) have decomposed in cooling water service (couldn't find out what temperature) and started to plugging the exchanger.
Does anyone know why that would happen? I am aware that aluminum anodes will start to lose current capacity and possibly passivate at higher temperatures, but why would it decompose?
