Fundamental Study on Anti-corrosive Method with Sacrificial Anode for Steel Members using Al-Zn Alloy Casting Plate and Fiber Sheet in Atmospheric Environment

Abstract

Authors have developed anti-corrosive method using porous sintered Al-Zn plate and fiber sheet in atmospheric environment. In addition to this, reductive reaction mechanism of the corrosion product due to electrons supplied from the sacrificial anode was investigated. The purpose of this research is to clarify the validity of the anticorrosive method using the Al-Zn alloy casting plate instead of the porous sintered plate. Laboratory tests and atmospheric exposure tests in a corrosive environment by airborne sea salt were conducted on the model specimens with different Al-Zn alloy casting plates.
