Description
Addressing specialized grounding requirements where the threat of galvanic corrosion looms large, Axis introduces its Stainless-Steel Earth Rods. Crafted with an advanced metallurgical understanding, these rods counter the inherent risks associated with burying dissimilar metals in proximity.
Overcoming Galvanic Corrosion
When dissimilar metals such as copper and steel are buried in close proximity, galvanic corrosion can become a significant concern. The electrochemical potentials of the metals interact adversely, leading to accelerated corrosion. Axis Stainless Steel Earth Rods are specifically formulated to mitigate this issue. Manufactured from austenitic stainless steel conforming to BS970, grade 316, these rods exhibit anodic characteristics superior to copper, making them highly resistant to corrosion.
Innovative Driving Head: Reusable and Power Hammer Compatible
The driving head of Axis Stainless Steel Earth Rods is fabricated from high tensile steel, which is both reusable and suitable for power hammering. This enhances installation efficiency and allows for cost-effective reuse in multiple grounding projects. The internal coupling dowel, pivotal for maintaining a reliable connection between multiple rod segments, is crafted from the same austenitic stainless steel, guaranteeing compatibility and minimizing contact resistance.
Galvanized Steel Earth Rods: Cost-Effective and Unthreaded
As an economical alternative, Axis also offers Galvanized Steel Earth Rods. Composed of high strength, low carbon steel, these rods are hot-dipped galvanized for superior corrosion resistance. Though unthreaded, their pointed ends facilitate effortless installation.
In conclusion, Axis Stainless Steel Earth Rods offer a scientifically rigorous and highly effective solution to the challenges posed by galvanic corrosion, thus substantiating Axis Electricals’ stature as subject matter experts in specialized grounding solutions.
Note: Coupler, Driving Head and Spike must be ordered separately.
