염화물 및 방청제가 함유된 철근 콘크리트의 부식특성을 마크로 셀 부식측정 방법인 갈바닉 전류 측정과 마이크로 셀 부식측정 방법인 선형분극 측정법 및 교류 임피던스법을 이용하여 염화물 및 방청제의 영향을 평가하였다. 마크로/마이크로 셀 부식측정기 Calcium Nitrite 방청제가 첨가된 시험체의 경우 갈바닉 전류 측정결과 낮은 전류값을 유지하였고, 교류 임피던스 측정결과 분극저항의 감소가 나타나지 않았으므로, 방청제의 첨가가 콘크리트내 철근의 부동태 피막을 보호하여 부식저항성을 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다.

Degradation is commonly observed in field-aged PV modules due to corrosion of the photovoltaic ribbon. The reduced performance is caused by a loss of fill factor due to the high series resistance in the PV ribbon. This study aimed to mitigate the degradation by corrosion using five sacrificial anodes - Al, Zn and their alloys - to identify the most effective material to mitigate the corrosion of the PV ribbon. The corrosion behavior of the five sacrificial anode materials were examined by open circuit potential measurements, potentiodynamic polarization tests, and galvanic current density and potential measurements using a zero resistance ammeter. Immersion tests for 120 hours were also conducted using materials and damp heat test tests were performed for 1500 hours using 4 cell mini modules. The Al-3Mg and Al-3Zn-1Mg sacrificial anodes had a low corrosion rate and reduced drop in power, making then suitable for long-term use.

Effects of specimen area on the corrosion rate of low alloy steel were studied in sulfuric acid solution. The corrosion behavior of specimen was tested by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization resistance measurement (LPR) and potentiodynamic polarization measurement. The surface was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron probe X-ray micro analyzer (EPMA). As surface area was increased, corrosion rate was increased by the effect of small anode-large cathode.

In this paper, we investigate the properties of CoGe thin film-based galvanic cells as a function of their dimension (cell length, width, etc.) and show their application as sensors to Arduino-based IoT sensor networks to detect water contact. Because these CoGe thin film-based galvanic cells do not require mechanical strains or temperature gradients unlike piezoelectric and thermoelectric energy harvesters, we think that these thin film-based galvanic cells are more suitable for self-powered sensor networks demanding sustainable and robust energy harvesters. In the past, a sputter-deposited CoGe thin film has not been intensively investigated for energy harvesting appilcations. Thus, in this study, we perform a feasibility study of galvanic cells composed of a sputter-deposited CoGe thin film to see if they can be applied as potential self-powered sensors. We believe that this paper will be of great help in developing even more enhanced sensor networks.

Austenitic stainless steel 316L has been used a lot of applications because of its high corrosion resistance and formability. In addition, copper brazing is employed to create complex shape of 316L stainless steel for various engineering parts. In such system, copper-based filler metals make galvanic cell at metal/filler metal interface, and it accelerates corrosion of stainless steel. Furthermore, Cu-rich region formed by diffused copper in austenitic stainless steel can promote a pitting corrosion. In this study, we used an ammonia (NH₃) gas to nitride the 316L stainless steel for improving the corrosion resistance. The thickness of the nitride (nitrogen high) layer increased with the treatment temperature, and the surface hardness also increased. The potentiodynamic polarization test showed the improvement of corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel by enhancing the passivation on nitride layer. However, in case of high temperature nitriding, a chromium nitride was formed and its fraction increased, so that the corrosion resistance was decreased compared to the intact 316L stainless steel.
