 Zinc
            Shaft Anode
 Shaft anodes are mounted on the shafts of small leisure vessels to
            protect the exposed steel prolonging the life of the shafts and
            propellers. Zinc is the only material that has an official
            specification, the American MIL-A-18001 K spec. Zinc is a
            well-proven anode material and its capacity is virtually unaffected
            by the operating current density, although the driving voltage
            diminishes with increasing temperature therefore it has limited
            application. If zinc is not to this specification i.e. high purity
            zinc 99.99%, it will have a limited use as an anode material because
            of iron present as an impurity.
 Magnesium
            Shaft AnodeShaft anodes are mounted on the shafts of small leisure vessels to
            protect the exposed steel prolonging the life of the shafts and
            propellers. Magnesium alloy anodes are very active
            electrochemically, and they are usually recommended only for short
            exposes or temporary protection and in positions where replacement
            is easy in seawater. Magnesium alloy anodes are often used for hull
            protection of fresh water vessels i.e. narrow boats/barges.
