Abstract
Zinc or iron sacrificial anodes, or the cathodic current from a DC current source applied through a platinum electrode, provide stainless steel protection from pitting corrosion particularly in the interior of long narrow stainless steel tubes exposed to hot concentrated chloride brine. The invention is characterized by the placing of an anode in a brine solution near one end and electrically connected to a stainless steel tube, thereby protecting the interior of the stainless steel tube along its entire length from pitting corrosion by the brine.
