Abstract
Sacrificial materials are widely used to protect metal structures from electrochemical corrosion. As a base of sacrificial alloys are used aluminum, zinc and magnesium. The article presents the main sacrificial, corrosion and casting properties of binary (Al-Zn, Zn-Mg, Mg-Al) and ternary alloys of Al-Zn-Mg system. The results allow reasonably choose alloy compositions with best electrochemical properties with regard to the operation conditions of cast protectors.
