초록

야외에 위치한 대형 군사문화유산의 장기적 보존을 위해 선행연구를 참고하여 과거에 이루어진 도료를 통한 도장 기술의 역사를 살펴보았으며, 전쟁기념관 소장 H-13 헬기의 분석 결과와 비교하였다. 선행연구에서 제2차 세계대전에 참여하여 지상에서 발굴된 난파기 3점에서 샘플을 수집해 분석한 결과, 항공기의 각 샘플에서 크롬의 다양한 화학적인 상태의 특성이 보호 코팅에 대한 역할 수행을 확인할 수 있었다. 약 80년이 지나 도료층의 변질과 자연환경에 장기간 노출되었는데도, 이 화합물은 1940년도 초에 부식 억제 안료로서 테스트 되었으며, 수분에 저항력을 갖는 훌륭한 억제력을 제공했다. 이런 이유로 항공 산업에서 알루미늄 합금의 부식 억제제로 널리 사용되었다. 즉 부식을 방지하기 위해 가장 널리 사용되는 재료는 크롬산염을 함유한 유기 프라이머였다. 본 연구에서 6·25전쟁에 운용되었던 H-13 헬기의 도료분석을 토대로 두 번째 층인 프라이머가 산화크롬(Cr2O3)을 포함하고 있음을 보여준다. 또한 적색의 사산화삼납(Pb3O4)을 전색제에 녹여 사용한 것으로 추정된다. 이를 선행연구와 비교한 결과 크롬산염이 제공하는 부식 방지 기능이 여전히 유효한지 여부를 명확히하는 데 도움이 될 수 있다. 적외선 분광분석 결과는 알키드 수지(Alkyd Resin)의 도료가 사용되었다. 향후 보다 다양한 유물과의 비교를 통해 합금을 부식으로부터 보호하기 위한 도료의 제작 기술 변화를 해석할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study references preceding studies to examine the history of paint application techniques using various paints in the past, with the aim to contribute to the long-term preservation of large military cultural heritage assets situated outdoors. To this end, the study compared the findings of preceding research with the findings of an analysis conducted on a H-13 helicopter housed at the War Memorial of Korea. Upon collecting and analyzing samples from three grounded WWII aircraft from above-ground by preceding studies, it was confirmed from each sample that the various chemical properties of chrome ensured the effectiveness of the protective coating. The compound was first tested as a corrosion-inhibiting pigment in the early 1940s and proved its excellent moisture-resistant properties over the course of 80 years, despite the deterioration of the paint layer and long-term exposure to the natural environment. For this reason, it has been widely used as a corrosion inhibitor for aluminum alloys in the aviation industry. In other word, the most widely-used material for preventing corrosion was an organic primer containing chromate. In this study, based on the paint analysis of a H-13 helicopter operated in the Korean War, it was shown that the second layer, consisting of the primer, contains chromium oxide (Cr2O3). In addition, it was estimated that red lead tetraoxide (Pb3O4) was used for the vehicle. Analysis results and data from previous studies can help to confirm the continued effectiveness of corrosion prevention function provided by chromate. Meanwhile, the result of infrared spectroscopy analysis confirmed the use of alkyd resin. In the future, comparisons with a more diverse range of artifacts will allow the identification of changes in the manufacturing technology of paints used to protect alloys from corrosion.
