DEFINITION

Classification: 205/724

Object protection:

(under subclass 704) Subject matter in which an electrolytic current or potential is utilized (a) to prevent corrosion, scale formation, or other objectionable action in or on an object containing the metal or metal alloy or (b) to neutralize or correct such action when the object is in normal use.

(1) Note. This section is not intended to provide for the electrolytic treatment of fluids in order to modify their properties so that they do not cause or accelerate electrolytic action. Processes of this type are classified in other appropriate subclasses of this section (687+) based on the material treated.
