For corrosion to occur on a coated metal surface, an electrochemical double layer must be established. Hence, the adhesion between the substrate and the coating must be weakened to enable a separate thin layer of water to be formed at the interface from water that has permeated the coating. To prevent the failure of a painted coating, we applied a cathodic protection method. This method has been controversial for a few years because cathodic protection can induce cathodic delamination of the entire surface, especially near the anode, and also because it is not effective on a not-wetted surface from the anode. We therefore evaluated the efficiency of cathodic protection for 700 days in an atmospheric environment and performed surface observation, AC impedance measurements and corrosion tests. In the case of a noncathodic protected painted steel specimen, blisters formed after 100 days and grew …
