Harbour marine steel structures, which are served in severe marine environment, should be protected in appropriate method to reduce corrosion problems. Cathodic protection, one of the protection methods in terms of practical and economical point of view is being widely used to marine steel structures mentioned above. Recently it has been reported that the life of Al alloy anode with sacrificial anode for protection of harbour marine steel structures was shortened significantly than the original design life. In this study, the optimum cathodic protection design of harbour marine steel structures was investigated with parameter of sea water pollution degree.

태양광 모듈에서 태양전지를 연결해주는 인터커넥터로 리본 솔더로 SnPbAg가 사용되고, 옥외 태양광 발전에 장기간 노출시 리본의 부식으로 인한 열화가 흔히 관찰된다. 이러한 부식현상으로 인하여 리본과 태양전지의 접합이 약해져 접촉저항이 증가하고, 또한 리본 자체의 직렬 저항이 증가하게 되어 태양전지의 전압 전류 곡선에서 충진률 손실로 출력이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 리본의 부식을 완화시킬 수 있는 방법으로 희생양극법을 이용하여 순수 알루미늄 및 아연, 알루미늄, 아연 그리고 마그네슘의 합금을 이용한 5가지 희생양극 소재의 부식에 의한 열화 저감을 연구하였다. 전기화학적 방법으로 희생양극 소재의 개방회로 전위와 폐쇄회로 전위를 측정하였고, 포텐시오다이나믹 분극 곡선을 측정하고, 영저항전류계를 이용하여 리본과 소재간의 갈바닉 전류를 측정하였다. 또한, 아세트산과, NaCl에 리본과 희생양극 소재의 부착 전후의 침지시험과 4셀 미니모듈로 제작한 후 1500시간 고온고습 시험 전후 출력을 평가하였다. 그 결과 Al-3Mg와 Al-3Zn-1Mg의 희생양극 소재가 부식속도가 느리고, 출력저하를 저감시킬 뿐만 아니라 장기 안정성에도 효과적인 것으로 평가된다.

희생양극법에 의한 발전소 복수기 수실의 음극방식 효과를 수치해석을 이용하여 알아보았다. 복수기는 해수설비중의 하나로 여러 재질로 구성되어 있는데 방식을 하지 않은 경우 수실과 tubesheet와의 갈바닉 부식이 심하게 발생되며, 수실벽과 갈바닉 부식이 심하게 일어나는 부위에 희생양극을 부탁하면 많은 방식효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 수치해석 결과의 타당성 검토로서 model test를 행한 결과 수치해석 결과와 실험치가 잘 일치하였다

Although there are various factors that threaten the security of ships, one of the most harmful is corrosion. It is not easy to find corroding areas and the status of corrosion, even though corrosion causes serious problems such as submergence and marine pollution as a result of leaking oil and polluted water. To monitor the corrosion of ships, non-destructive inspection, weight loss coupons, electrical resistance, linear polarization resistance, zero resistance ammeter, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have been developed. However, these methods require much time to detect corrosion, and most are not appropriate for real time monitoring. Coating, sacrificial anode, and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) methods have been developed to control corrosion. The ICCP and sacrificial anode methods are the most popular ways to prevent ship corrosion. However, ICCP is only appropriate for the outside of a ship and cannot be used for complex structures such as ballast tanks because these are composed of many separate chambers. Sacrificial anodes have to be replaced periodically. This paper proposes an integrated corrosion monitoring and control system (ICMCS) that can detect corrosion in real time and is appropriate for complex structures such as ballast tanks. Because the system uses titanium for an anode, exhausted anodes do not need to be replaced.

Ships and offshore structures are exposed to harsh marine environments, and maintenance and repair are becoming increasingly important to the industry and the economy. The major corrosion phenomenons of metals and alloys in marine environment are pitting corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, crevice corrosion, fatigue corrosion, cavitation-erosion and etc. due to the effect of chloride ions and is quite serious. Methods of protection against corrosion can generally be divided into two groups: anodic protection and cathodic protection. Anodic protection is limited to the passivity characteristics of a material in its environment, while cathodic protection can apply methods such as sacrificial anode cathodic protection and impressed current cathodic protection. Sacrificial anode methods using Al and Zn alloys are widely used for marine structures and vessels intended for use in seawater. Impressed current cathodic protection methods are also widely used in marine environments, but tend to generate problems related to hydrogen embrittlement caused by hydrogen gas generation. Therefore, it is important to the proper maintenance and operation of the various corrosion protection systems for ship in the harsh marine environment.

This study represents the recent laboratory results from cathodic protection (CP) system with the use of sacrificial anodes at different environmental conditions (temperature of $10^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$). Specimens were slab type with a dimension of $500mm{\times}50mm{\times}100mm$, and concrete cover thickness were 25mm. Zinc mesh and/or bulk type anodes were installed at the center of specimen to confirm the distance that CP system has influences on the specimen to distribute uniform CP current to rebar. Two different kinds of temperature condition were applied to verify the effect of temperature. Experiments were conducted for 60 days, and the distribution of potential and current that supplied from anode to rebar was measured. From the results, CP potential was varied with time, and temperature played an important role in CP potential variations. Current was also changed with time, and current distribution could be improved by installing additional bulk type anode.

The use of cathodic protection for metals can be achieved by sacrificial anode CP or impressed current CP, or a combination of both. Cathodic protection is a highly effective anti-corrosion technique for submerged metals or metals in soil. But because the non-immersion atmospheric automobile environment is a high resistance environment, it is limited by fundamental cathodic protection. However, the application of cathodic protection to automobiles is attractive because of the possibility of maintaining corrosion resistance while using lower-cost materials. A commercially available product for automobiles that uses both sacrificial anode CP and impressed current CP was tested in a periodic salt spray environment to investigate the performance of the devices. Experimental results show that the metal to be protected has different anti-corrosion effects depending on the distance from the anode of the device, but it is effective for the entire 120 cm long specimen exposed with one anode. The cathodic protection is effective because the conductive tape attached to the anode of the structure to be protected acts as a constant electrolyte in wet and dry conditions. The results show that the entire standard passenger car can be protected by cathodic protection with 4 anodes.
