A Study on the Applicability of Cathodic Protection for the Outdoor Sculptures Corrosion

In this study, we proposed the sacrificial anode cathodic protection method as a countermeasure to reduce corrosion of steel sculptures under outdoor conditions and proved anticorrosive effect experimentally. To affix Mg plate specimen, an adhesive bonding strength test was conducted with three types conductive adhesives. Hence, suitability epoxy confirmed, C-clamp experiment supplement connection. addition, by applying suitable for soil where artwork is installed, field applicability reviewed through artificial determination resistance cyclic test(salt fog/dry/humid) prove anode. monitoring in progress test-laying specimens sculpture park identify natural deterioration. future, based on results exposure test, plan determine proper sculpture, replacement period
