French term or phrase: bride à zinc
I had used galvanised flange, although it is a bride zinguée which features a zonc sacrificial anode, and I have the feeling I am not using the appropriate term???

  -> Thank you, albantar.
neutral  kashew: all zinc?

  -> Bride à zinc would be a zinc flange, imo.
neutral  chris collister: Extremely unlikely that the flange would be entirely of zinc. Far more likely to be zinc plated/ galvanised steel. Zn alloy, maybe: Mazak possibly, aka monkey metal.

  -> Yes, but Chris, it appears everywhere I've looked as a zinc flange, whether it's entirely made of zinc or a zinc alloy.

flange with zinc


Explanation:
Not entirely clear from your text, but I understand you to be dealing with a galvanized flange which, in addition to its galvanized protective coating, has a sacrificial zinc anode.

What is this on?

To make it clear, that should be "flange with zinc sacrificial anode" in full, or, better still, "flange with sacrificial zinc anode".

--------------------------------------------------

Galvanic corrosion, often misnamed "electrolysis," is one common form of corrosion in marine environments. It occurs when two (or more) dissimilar metals are brought into electrical contact under water. When a galvanic couple forms, one of the metals in the couple becomes the anode and corrodes faster than it would all by itself, while the other becomes the cathode and corrodes slower than it would alone. Either (or both) metals in the couple may or may not corrode by itself (themselves) in seawater. When contact with a dissimilar metal is made, however, the self-corrosion rates will change: corrosion of the anode will accelerate; corrosion of the cathode will decelerate or even stop.

Smart watermen know this fact and employ the use of sacrificial zinc anodes on their zinc-galvanized metal crabpots. With the sacrificial anode attached, the crabpot becomes the cathode. The result is that the anode will corrode (hence "sacrificial") and the crabpot won't. This effectively doubles the life of the crabpot.

Sacrificial Zinc Anode. These zinc anodes are cheap insurance that will reduce or eliminate corrosion of underwater equipment. ...
