Abstract The electrochemical performance of Al-Ga binary alloy with different Ga content were evaluated by constant current test. And the activation mechanism was investigated by X-Ray, SEM+EDS and redeposit experiment. The results showed that Al-0.07%Ga welded by high purity aluminum and Al-0.1%Ga welded by Al99.85 exhibit suitable working potential as low driving voltage sacrificial anode for cathodic protection of high strength steel. Their working potential was varied from -820 mV~-876 mV, -802 mV~-818 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl seawater) respectively. However, their performance needs to be improved for its serious local dissolution morphology. The Ga content of corrosion product was increasing with increasing of the Ga content of anode matrix, but the latter is far greater than the former. The content of Ga in anode surface is increasing for Ga3+ redeposit to the surface. The activation mechanism of Al-Ga anode obeys dissolution-redeposit mechanism.
