The present invention generally provides a circuit for reducing the rate of corrosion in a metal object. The circuit includes charge circuitry having a DC voltage source for providing a capacitive discharge to the metal object via a terminal of the voltage source. The circuit further includes current generation circuitry coupled to the metal object for receiving and shaping the capacitive discharge from the discharge circuitry. The generation circuitry couples the shaped capacitive discharge to the metal object and induces surface currents therein. The surface current can be induced by direct or indirect application of electrical waveforms having AC components generated from the circuit.
