Solution
Anodic coating | Cathodic Coating | ||
1 | This type of coating protect base metal sacrificially. | 1 | This type of coating protect the base metal because of high corrosion resistance and noble behaviour |
2 | The coating metal is at lower electrode potential than base m etal. |
2 | The coating metal is at higher electrode potential than base metal. |
3 | Corrosion of base metal does not enhance even on breaking “anodic coating” as it heals its film | 3 | Corrosion of base metal enhances, if there is a small cut in coating |
4 | Eg. Galvanising i.e. Zn coating on iron/steel | 4 | Eg. Tinning i.e. tin coating on iron/steel/copper/brass. |
