Sacrificial Anode[edit]

The following is a proposal to add sacrificial anode to the list of examples of sacrificial parts. If, as the article states, a sacrificial part is a part "engineered to fail first, and thus protect other parts of the system", should not sacrificial anode be added to the list?

Read the full definition: "A sacrificial part is a part of a machine or product that is intentionally engineered to fail under excess mechanical stress, electrical stress, or other unexpected and dangerous situations." Therefore a sacrificial anode does not apply because it is designed to corrode for known electrical stresses. Wizard191 (talk) 21:17, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have compromised by placing it in the See Also section as you will no doubt admit that it is a heavily related topic.Winston Spencer (talk) 01:57, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that works for me. Wizard191 (talk) 13:32, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
