Alloy & Test Data
Chemical Composition & Electrochemical Performance
Al-Zn-In aluminum anode alloys for marine, offshore and subsea projects. The published datasheet specifies a capacity reference of at least 2,500 Ah/kg under its stated test conditions. Higher project requirements, including 2,700 Ah/kg, must be reviewed with the test method, sampling plan and acceptance criteria before order confirmation.
≥2,500
Ah/kg capacity reference in datasheet CP-DS-AL-001 Rev. A. Project acceptance follows the agreed test conditions.
Agreed Sampling
Finished-anode sampling and test frequency are defined in the project specification and inspection plan.
Body Sampling
Finished-anode body sampling is supported for customer inspection, third-party testing and project acceptance.
