Process for cathodic protection of electrode material
First Claim
1. A process for cathodic protection of an electrode wherein:
- negative and positive asymmetric biphasic current pulse trains with a negative bias are applied to said electrode; and
said asymmetric current pulse trains are obtained by performing said negative phase with wider pulse width than that of an anodic phase.

Abstract
The invention is a process for cathodic protection of electrodes wherein negative bias is applied on the electrode. The negative bias is obtained by asymmetric current pulse, which is obtained by negative phase pulsing with higher amplitude than that of the anodic phase. The asymmetric current pulse is obtained by negative phase pulsing with wider pulse width than that of the anodic phase. The asymmetric current pulse may also be obtained by negative phase pulsing with both higher amplitude and wider pulse width than that of the anodic phase. The invention further relates to a process for cathodic protection of electrodes, wherein negative bias is applied on the electrode, and the negative bias is obtained by asymmetric current pulse, where the asymmetric current pulse is obtained by negative phase pulsing with wider pulse width than that of the anodic phase. The wider pulse width is obtained by pulse trains.
