Cathodic protection is an electrical method of preventing corrosion on metallic structures which are in electrolytes such as soil or water.
It has had widespread application on underground pipelines, and ever increasing use as the most effective corrosion control method for numerous other underground and underwater structures such as lead cables, water storage tanks,lock gates and dams, steel pilings, underground storage tanks, well casings, ship hulls and interiors, water treatment equipment, trash racks and screens.
It is a scientific method which combats corrosion by use of the same laws which cause the corrosion process.

Shifting the metal potential to a more cathodic value (to negative direction).
This shift in potential can be done by two different methods.
(a)Cathodic protection with impressed current (b)Cathodic protection with sacrificial anodes

المعادن التي نستخدمها نحصل عليها باختزال الأكاسيد المستقرة لهذه المعادن وبالتالي فإن المعدن هو عنصر غير مستقر

عملية تاكل المعادن هي عملية تفاعل المعدن مع الاكسجين لتكون اكسيد المعدن والوصول إلى حالة الإستقرار

تفاعل التآكل باختصار هومعدن + اكسجين = أكسيد + إلكترونات

هذا التفاعل يسير من اليمين لليسار في الوضع العادي وطالما أن هناك تسريب لهذه الالكترونات فإن التفاعل يستمر أما لو ظلت الالكترونات مكانها يحدثت إتزان بين طرفي المعادلة ويقف التفاعل وفي حالة زيادة الالكترونات عن ذلك ينعكس اتجاة التفاعل ويتحول المعدن من أنود متآكل إلى كاثود لا يتآكلفي الحماية الكاثودية باختصار يتم توصيل المعدن المراد حمايته وهو الانود بمصدر تيار مستمر وبمقدار محسوب بحيث يظل التفاعل في حالة اتزان وبالتالي يتحول المعدن من أنود متآكل الى كاثود لا يتآكل

Cathodic Protection is a technique to reduce corrosion rate of structure(metallic) by making it cathode in a electro-chemical cell.
It is applied to under ground metallic structures.
Shortly, there are two further categories involved in cathodic protection(CP) are,1.
Impressed current method2.
Sacrificial Anode method
