Abstract

Steel structures exposed to extremely corrosive environment like marine environments and industrial area are generally manufactured by applying various protection treatment to increase their lifetime. Metal spraying is one of the protection methods to overcome some drawbacks of the widely employed technologies. Therefore, lots of research needs to be done to improve the corrosion resistance of steel structures. In this study, the corrosion resistance of steel structures was evaluated with the variation in the type and thickness of metal spray by measuring the corrosion potential and current density. As a raw material for spraying, Zn, Al and their mixture were employed to obtain coating thickness of $30{\sim}100{\mu}m$. Our data indicated that the pure zinc coating with $100{\mu}m$ showed the lowest corrosion potential. In the case of pure Al and Zn 85%-Al 15%, the corrosion potential and current density was decreased compared to pure zinc. It was found that the corrosion potential was decreased with the increase of coating thickness irrespective of the type of the coating.

해양환경 및 공장지역과 같이 가혹한 부식환경에 놓인 강구조물은 사용수명을 증대시키기 위하여 다양한 방식 기술을 적용하여 건설되고 있다. 그 중 금속용사에 의한 방식기술은 일반적으로 널리 쓰이는 기술의 단점을 보완한 방식 기술이지만 완벽하다 할 수 없어 내식성 향상에 대한 연구개발이 절실한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 금속용사에서 사용되는 금속 재료의 종류 및 용사 두께의 변화에 따른 내식성을 평가하였으며 전기화학적 방법인 부식전위 및 부식전류밀도 측정을 통하여 비교 고찰하였다. 금속용사 재료로는 아연(Zn) 및 알루미늄(Al)을 사용하여 비율을 조절하였고, 용사 두께는 $30{\sim}100{\mu}m$ 사이에서 구분하여 선정하였다. 검토 결과, 금속용사 재료로 Zn을 100% 사용한 경우에서 가장 낮은 부식전위가 측정된 것을 확인하였으며, Zn 85%-Al 15% 합금과 Al 100%의 경우에는 부식전류밀도가 감소하였다. 또한 용사재료에 관계없이 용사두께가 증가할수록 부식전위는 감소하였다.
