Anodic Protection is the method to reduce the corrosion rate of a metal surface with a low voltage direct current by connecting it as an anode with respect to an inert cathode in the cell formed due to an electrochemical reaction in the corrosive environment, and ensuring that the electrode potential is controlled to keep the metal in a passive state. The Anodic Protection is more suitable than cathodic protection for stainless steels specially in extremely corrosive environments, as in the handling and storage of concentrated sulphuric acid.
