Regional cathodic protection has significant impact on pipeline integrity management. After risk analyses of a newly built gas distribution station constructed in an area with large dwelling density, risk score was high because of potential threat caused by galvanic corrosion. Except reinforced steel in concrete, there are four kinds of metal buried under earth: carbon steel, galvanized flat steel, zinc rod and graphite module. To protect buried pipeline from external corrosion, design and construction of regional cathodic protection was proposed. Current density was measured with potential using potential dynamic test and boundary element method (BEM) was used to calculate current requirement and optimize best anode placement during design. From our calculation on the potential, optimized conditions for this area were that an applied current was 3A and anode was placed at 40 meters deep from the soil surface. It results in potential range between $-1.128V_{CSE}$ and $-0.863V_{CSE}$, meeting the $-0.85V_{CSE}$ criterion and the $-1.2V_{CSE}$ criterion that no potential was more negative than $-1.2V_{CSE}$ to cause hydrogen evolution at defects in coating of the pipeline.

Stainless steel has been stably used closed by passivity oxidation films($Cr_2O_3$) is made by neutral atmospheric environment. However, passivity oxidation films of the surface of stainless steel occasionally comes to be destroyed in seawater which is influenced by an environment having halogen ion like $Cl^-$, then, localization corrosion comes to occur. Stainless steel 304 for shaft system material of the small-size FRP fishing boat on seawater environments made an experiment on simulation of sacrifical anode(Al, Zn). Through these experiment and study, following results have been obtained ; According to the field inspection and corrosion simulation, the corrosion on the 2nd class stainless steel shaft(STS 304) in FRP fishing boat has been verified to occur by crevice corrosion and galvanic corrosion etc.. According to the comparison and analysis of Stainless steel 304 shaft materials after simulation leaving unprotected and applying cathodic protection, unprotected shaft specimen of stainless steel 304 was severely corroded, but, protected shaft specimen was not totally corroded. This result is assumed to be made by the facts that anodic reaction, $Fe{\rightarrow}Fe^{2+}$ + $2e^-$, has been restricted by the cathodic protection current of sacrificial anode material.

A railway rail will be corroded by the repetitive sea wind and fog in the splash and tidal zone such as Youngjong grand bridge. And these rusts of rail could be increased by increasing service period, and it frequently occurred the safety accidents or disorders in electrical problem. In this study, the sacrificial anode cathodic protection method was proposed as a measures for reducing the corrosion of the railway rails in the oceanic climate conditions. As the results of immersion test using the salt water during four months, the sacrificial anode cathodic protection method using the aluminum anode(Al-anode) was evaluated that a distinct effect on corrosion reduction in the rails. Therefore the sacrificial anode cathodic protection method was experimentally proven that a disorders in aspects electric and signal of railway operation condition such as direct fixation track system in Youngjong grand bridge could be prevented by reducing rust falling from the rail. In addition, the installation conditions of the anodes directly affect the transmission range of corrosion potential, the sectional loss of anode, and the corrosion reduction effect. Therefore, to expect the corrosion reduction effect of rails under the oceanic climate conditions for railway track, it was important to adopted the appropriate spacing of anode installation by considering the actual field conditions.

음극방식은 지하매설 및 해양 금속 구조물의 부식을 방지하기 위해 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 방식법이다. 기존의 음극방식용 정류기는 SCR 위상제어 정류기로 구성되어 입련단 역율이 낮으며, 부피와 무게가 큰 단점을 지니고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 새로운 음극방식용 모듈타입 스위칭 정류기를 제안한다. 제안한 정류기 회로는 크게 두 부분, 즉 한 대로 구성된 AC/DC 컨버터부와 네 대로 구성된 Module Ttpe DC/DC 컨버터부로 되어 있다. AC/DC 컨버터는 IGBT PWM Rectifier로서 입력전압의 역률을 거의 1로 제어하고 있으며 또한 DC Link 전압을 일정하게 제어하고 있다. Module Type DC/DC 컨버터는 ZCS/ZVS 스위칭 동작을 통하여 스위칭 손실 감소와 함께 고주파 동작을 가능하게 하여, 입력측과 출력측의 전기적 절연을 위한 변압기로 고주파 변압기를 사용할 수 있게 하였다. 이로 인해 시스템의 부피와 무게를 현저히 감소시켰다. 본 논문에서 개발한 방식용 정류기 기술은 다른 유사 분야에의 적용도 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The cathodic protection method is being widely used in marine structural steel, however a high tensile steel like RE 36 steel for marine structural steel is easy to get hydrogen embrittlement due to over protection during cathodic protection as well as preferential corrosion of HAZ(Heating Affected Zone) part. In this paper, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties such as elongation and hydrogen embrittlement were investigated with not only in terms of electrochemical view but also SSRT(Slow Strain Rate Test) method with applied constant cathodic potential, analysis of SEM fractography in case of both As-welded and PWHT(Post-Weld Heat Treatment) of $550^{\circ}C$. The best effect for corrosion resistance was apparently indicated at PWHT of $550^{\circ}C$ and elongation was increased with PWHT of $550^{\circ}C$ than that of As-welded condition. On the other hand. Elongation was decreased with applied potential shifting to low potential direction which may be caused by hydrogen embrittlement, however the susceptibility of hydrogen embrittlement was decreased with PWHT of $550^{\circ}C$ than that of As-welded condition and Q.C(quasi cleavage) fracture mode was also observed significantly according to increasing of susceptibility of hydrogen embrittlement. Eventually it is suggested that an optimum cathodic protection potential range not causing hydrogen embrittlernent is from -770 mV(SCE) to -850 mV(SCE) in As-welded condition while is from -770 mV(SCE) to -875 mV(SCE) in PWHT of $550^{\circ}C$.

일반적으로 선박 및 해양구조물, 그리고 심해 설비의 가장 적절한 부식 방지법으로는 음극방식법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 해수 중에 이러한 음극방식법이 적용될 경우, 음극전류가 용존 해 있는 산소를 환원시킴으로써 음극분극 된 설비 표면에 수산화 이온을 다량 발생시키게 되고, 이로 인하여 계면에서의 pH는 증가하게 된다. 또한 탄산이온의 농도 역시 증가하게 되어, 바닷물 속에 용해되어 있는 마그네슘과 칼슘 이온들이 이들 수산화 이온 및 탄산 이온과 결합함으로써, 수산화마그네슘 및 탄산칼슘을 주성분으로 하는 무기물 층이 설비 표면에 석출하게 되는데 이렇게 형성된 피막을 일반적으로 "석회질 피막"이라고 한다. 이러한 무기물 층은 해수라는 부식환경에서 모재를 보호하는 물리적 장벽으로서의 역할을 함은 물론 음극방식을 할 때 요구되는 전류밀도를 감소시키는 역할을 하게 된다. 한편 이러한 해수 중에서의 석회질 피막의 형성은 전위, 전류, pH, 온도, 시간 등을 포함한 많은 변수들에 의해 변화하게 되는데, 이에 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 변수들 중 특히나 해수의 온도 및 시험편 표면 조건에 따른 무기물 층의 피막구조변화 및 특성변화를 살펴봄으로서 환경친화적인 코팅막의 개발에 대한 설계지침을 제공 할 수 있었다.

전기방식 공법은 해양 강구조물의 방식공법으로 처음 소개되었고, 1970년 이후로는 전기방식 공법은 콘크리트 구조물에 적용되기 시작하였다. 1990년 이후에는 콘크리트 구조물의 철근 방식 공법으로서 전기방식 공법의 사용빈도수가 늘어나게 되었고, 그 유용성 또한 입증이 되었다. 하지만 이러한 전기방식 공법에는 시공성, 경제성 측면에서의 몇 가지 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 고내구성 금속용사를 이용한 양극재(Zn, Al) 형성방식을 개발하게 되었고, 이미 강구조물에 있어서는 그 효용성이 입증되어 적용 사례가 점차 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 금속용사 전기방식 공법의 콘크리트 구조물 내 전기방식적 효율을 증명하기 위해 부식촉진 실험을 실시하였으며, 해당 실험체의 촉진 단계별 부식전류밀도를 측정하였다. 그 결과 금속용사 전기방식 공법이 콘크리트 구조물의 기존 전기방식 공법과 비교하여 충분한 방식성능을 확보함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, physical scale modeling was employed to identify the configurations of ICCP system and the electric field signatures. Computational boundary element modeling technique has been used to simulate the performance of the CP system and to predict the associated electric fields signatures. The optimization methods combined with the computer models and physical scale modeling will be presented here, which enable the optimum system design to be achieved both in terms of the location and current output of the anode but also in the location of reference electrodes for impressed current cathodic protection(ICCP) systems. The combined methodology was utilized to determine optimal placement of ICCP components (anodes and reference electrodes) and to evaluate performance of ICCP system for the 2%, 10% and 14% wetted hull coatings loss. The objective is to design the system to minimise the electric field while at the same time provide adequate protection for the ship. The results show that experimental scale modeling and computational modeling techniques can be used in concert to design an optimum ICCP system and to provide information for quickly analysis of the system and its surrounding environment.
