Cathodic Protection Method was introduced as a corrosion protection method of metals under the ground or sea. Since 1970, it was applied to corrosion protection method of reinforced concrete structures. After 1990, this method has been used around the world, and its usability was proved. But this method has some problems on the aspect of construction and economy. In order to solve these problems, Cathodic Protection Method by using high durable metal spray was developed. First, the specimen was covered with anodic materials (Zn, Al) by using metal spray. And a performance of corrosion protection was confirmed by measuring corrosion current and halfcell potential of specimen. Through the result of experiment, it is possible to know that Cathodic Protection Method by using high metal spray is good protect to corrosion on reinforced concrete structures.
