Abstract: For use in assembly of elongate sacrificial anodes consumed in process containers, apparatus for aligning and connecting anode sections to form a single segmented anode is disclosed wherein the aligning and connecting apparatus is composed of the same or similar sacrificial material. In the preferred and illustrated embodiment, a graphite collar member cooperative with a graphite threaded pin is set forth. The two are used in conjunction with a drilled and tapped bottom socket formed in a rectangular graphite mode block; preferably, duplicate systems are used on symmetrical sides to string several graphite anode blocks together in conjunction with a tapered counterbore at the end of a drill passage through the graphite block.
