Abstract Elements such as Mg, Ti, Ga, Mn and Sn were added to the Al-Zn-In based ternary anode in order using alloying method and the aluminum sacrificial anodes with different incorporated elements were cast. The electrochemical performance test, polarization plots and scanning electron microscope technique were carried out to analyze the influence of several familiar elements to the performance of the aluminum anode. The experiment results indicated that with the increase of the adding element the anode electrochemical performance was improved. When the elements of Mg and Ti were added to Al-Zn-In ternary anode the dissolution morphology was more uniform. When Ga and Sn were added, the anode open-circuit potential and closed-circuit potential were more negative. When Mn was added, the current efficiency was promoted.
