4.5.2 Examination procedure. Anodes selected as specified in 4.5.1 shall be measured for weight and
dimension, and visually inspected under 10 times magnification for workmanship (see 3.4.6, 3.4.7, and 3.6). If the
weight is less than the minimum weight for the type of anode specified or not within the tolerances allowed by this
specification, it shall be cause for rejection of the entire lot. For aluminum anodes, the top and bottom of each strap
shall be coated with a light grease or corrosion inhibitor (see 3.2.3).
4.6 Test methods.
4.6.1 Long-term seawater immersion test.
4.6.1.1 Long-term seawater immersion test site requirements. The test site shall be on or near the ocean or an
estuary thereof, providing an undiluted natural seawater environment to within a 3-foot spherical radius of each
anode in test. Similarly, not less than 80 percent of the immersed portion of the “infinite steel cathode” shall be
immersed in undiluted natural seawater. These requirements shall be maintained during all seasons and tidal
conditions. This allows for some surface dilution from rain and river sources. The “infinite steel cathode” shall
have sufficient exposed steel surface area to permit galvanic coupling of all anodes in test without significant
cathodic polarization of the steel.
4.6.1.2 Long-term seawater immersion test procedures.
a. Each of four ASS-10/LSS-10 anodes chosen at random from a representative heat of a production run of
anodes shall be galvanically coupled to an “infinite steel cathode” in seawater for a minimum period of 1 year.
(1) This test shall run concurrently with a test of at least two ZSS-24 zinc anodes in accordance with
MIL-DTL-18001 for comparative purposes.
b. The anodes shall then be weighed to the nearest 0.1 pound (45.36 grams) on a certified calibrated balance.
c. The anode shall be mounted to a dielectric plate of minimum dimensions equivalent to the width and length
of the anode to further preclude the possibility of corrosion of the back surface causing loss of the anode.
d. Six-gauge copper wire shall be used to galvanically couple each anode through no more than a 1-ohm shunt
resistor to an infinite steel seawall.
(1) All underwater electrical connections shall be sufficiently waterproof to survive the duration of the test
without loss of continuity.
(2) The shunt shall be used to monitor current weekly.
e. Anodes shall be immersed at least 9.84 feet (3 meters) below low tide level and separated from each other
by a minimum distance of 8 feet (2.44 meters).
f. Individual anode current shall be measured weekly by measuring a voltage drop across no more than a
1-ohm shunt resistor to an accuracy of 0.1 millivolt.
g. Potential of the seawall shall be measured monthly at each anode site immediately adjacent to the seawall.
Potential of the seawall shall not measure more negative than -700 millivolts with respect to a silver/silver-chloride
reference cell at any site.
h. Upon conclusion of the test, electrical connections to the seawall are to be disconnected and the anodes
shall remain in seawater. One hour after disconnection, each anode open-circuit potential shall be measured.
i. All anodes shall then be removed from seawater, all electrical connections removed from each anode, and
the anodes shall be cleaned with a high-pressure water blast to remove fouling and corrosion products.
j. Each anode shall again be weighed to the nearest 0.1 pound (45.36 grams), and weight loss measured.
k. A plot of current as a function of time shall be produced for each anode. The area under the current versus
time curve shall be integrated to determine the total charge passed in ampere-hours.
l. The anode current capacity for each anode shall be determined by dividing the total charge passed in
ampere-hours by each anode’s weight loss in pounds (or kilograms).
4.6.2 Short-term electrochemical test. Two anodes shall be selected, one from the start and end of each lot, for
the anode operating potential and current capacity characteristics test. The anode operating potential and current
capacity characteristics shall be determined in accordance with NACE TM0190.

MIL-DTL-24779D(SH)
4.6.3 Core bonding test.

4.6.3.1 Sampling for core bond tests. Two anodes from each lot shall be selected at random for the core
bonding test.
4.6.3.2 Resampling. In cases where one of the two anodes tested fails to pass the core bond test, four additional
anodes may be selected for retest at the discretion of the manufacturer.
4.6.3.3 Core bonding test procedure. Each anode selected to represent the lot shall be cut with a hacksaw or the
equivalent along the major axis of each strap or core. The cut surfaces shall be polished with a 60 (or finer) mesh
abrasive until the aluminum alloy-steel core/strap interface is distinctly visible. The gap between the aluminum
alloy and the steel strap/core shall be less than 0.002 inch (0.005 centimeter, 50 micrometers) for at least 50 percent
of the interfacial length when measured with an appropriate device such as a Feeler Gauge. Aluminum alloy anodes
may have a bead or buttress not exceeding 0.25 inch (6.35 millimeters) projecting from the anode along the
strap/core. The steel strap aluminum alloy interface shall show no evidence of red rust; however, blue or black
oxide is acceptable. Evidence of red rust on the cut surface shall be cause for rejection of the lot (see 3.7).
4.6.3.4 Disposition of anodes subjected to core bond tests. All sample anodes shall be discarded and not
included in the delivery of material after the core bonding tests are performed.
4.6.4 Bend test. Any evidence of cracking that is greater than 0.125 inch (0.3175 centimeter) in length or width
is cause for rejection of the entire lot.
4.6.4.1 Sampling for bend test for types APN/LPN and LRN anodes. At least five anodes of these types shall
be selected from each lot for each of these tests.
4.6.4.2 Physical test sample dimensions for types APN/LPN and LRN anodes. APN/LPN test samples shall be
cut from the plate anodes and shall be of the following dimensions: width: twice the thickness, length: 12 inches
(30.48 centimeters) or to suit the test apparatus. LRN test samples shall be of the following dimensions: length:
12 inches (30.48 centimeters) or to suit the test apparatus.

APPENDIX A
A.3 NOTES
A.3.1 Dimensions and tolerances. Wherever possible, dimensions and standards have been defined in both
U.S./Imperial and International/Metric versions. Where a tolerance is not specifically defined, the default tolerance
shall be ±0.13 inch (3.3 millimeters) for linear dimensions and ±2 degrees for angles. Dimensioning shall be
interpreted in accordance with ASME Y14.5.
A.3.2 Minimum weights. The minimum weights shown in the drawings are calculated by averaging the
CAD-derived “minimum weight”. Unless otherwise shown on the figures, these weights include a 4-degree draft,
0.188-inch (4.5-millimeter) radius corner rounds, and core volume is subtracted from the casting volume. The
“minimum weight” is calculated from the minimum material tolerances on the casting but with nominal size steel
cores. Density of both aluminum alloys (conventional and low voltage) is assumed to be 0.097 pounds per cubic
inch (2.70 grams per cubic centimeter). Density of all steel components is assumed to be 0.28 pounds per cubic inch
(7.86 grams per cubic centimeter).
A.3.3 Centering of cores. Unless otherwise shown on the figures, all cores shall be centered in the casting to
within ±0.13 inch (3.3 millimeters).
A.3.4 Screw threads. Screw threads shall conform to ASME B1.1 unless approved by NAVSEA. Inspection is
required with GO/NO GO gauges in accordance with ASME B1.2. Tapped holes shall be countersunk to the major
diameter.
A.3.5 Abbreviations. Abbreviations are in accordance with ASME Y14.38.
