Corrosionpedia Explains Anode Bed
Anode beds serve as a key component of an electrolytic cell, which aid the free flow of electrons by acting as a terminal for current entry. Current that is attracted to the electrolytic cell is not available to react with a metal structure in the environment, thus preventing corrosion of said metal structure.
