The results show that for the two anodes, the current efficiency got in the sea environment is higher than the data of the 4-day-accelerated test in laboratory and the corrosion morphology is more uniform in the sea. With the same exposed area, the current efficiency of Al-Zn-In-Mg-Ti anode is higher than that of Al-Zn-In-Si in the sea.
