In an impressed current cathodic protection system (ICCP) to protect structures against corrosion, the efficient operation depends on the proper selection of the electrodes, particularly the anode, chosen considering the structure to be protected and the environment in which it is located. The nature and overpotential of the anodic reaction determine the operation costs of an ICCP system so that proper anode selection is critically important for an ICCP system to function efficiently. Commercial anodes based on titanium substrates coated with iridium–tantalum oxide mixtures (IrO2-Ta2O5/Ti) are frequently used for this purpose due to low operating overpotentials. However, the gradual passivation of its surface limits its useful life and increases its operating costs, so it is necessary to seek competitive alternatives for its replacement. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of using carbon steel substrates coated with nickel/cobalt/boron (NiCoB/CS) as a viable low-cost alternative to replace IrO2-Ta2O5/Ti anodes in ICCP systems. Comparison between the electrochemical behavior and the corrosion resistance of both types of electrodes shows that the NiCoB/CS anode shows a good electrocatalytic activity and a higher corrosion resistance than IrO2-Ta2O5/Ti coated anodes, indicating that the NiCoB/CS anodes are promising low-cost candidates for ICCP systems.
