The use of anti-corrosive oil (AC) is inevitable for production of industrial steels to prevent corrosion. The AC is degreased before application of steels, which crucially effects on final products, such as automobile, electricity etc. However, qualitative/quantitative evaluation of degreasing performance are steal insufficient. In this study, degreasing performance of anti-corrosive oil on steel have been studied through X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Commercial automotive steels (AMS) are coated with 4 different anti-corrosive oils (namely AC1-AC4). In XPS, intensity of C1s peak remained after degreasing indirectly indicates incomplete degreasing. Thus, higher C1s peak intensity means less effective degreasing by degreasing agent. peak intensity of C1s peak shows opposite tendency of peak intensity of O1s. We found that EIS analysis is not applicable to mild steel (such as AMS1) due to corrosion during measurement. However, alloy steel can be fully analyzed by EIS and XPS depth profile.

Many ancient and historical artifacts were made by copper and its alloys. In the case of outdoor exposure artifacts, the surface could be suffered from corrosion and tarnish by the reaction with its environment. In order to preserve the artifacts, surface treatment would be needed and BTA coating has been usually applied to tin-bronze. This paper dealt with the evaluation of the properties of BTA coated film using a linear polarization method and AC impedance measurement. On the base of corrosion rate and film resistance for the specimen formed by coating process, optimum coating conditions are as follows; 3 cycles brushing or 3 cycles spraying coatings for natural dried process and 1 cycle brushing coating or 5 cycles spraying coating for hot-air dried process.

During the past decades, the corrosion of the steel rebar embedded in concrete structure surrounding marine environment is actually problematic and required the suitable preventive method. An eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor mix is investigated to stifle the active corrosion in comparison with other commercial corrosion inhibitors. The hybrid inhibitor enhances the corrosion resistance and the workability of concrete. However, it reduces the compressive strength slightly after 28-day-age. The electrochemical studies and mechanical studies are pointed out the corrosion resistance property, corrosion kinetics, and the mechanical properties of all concrete samples. H-3 is the optimum dose of hybrid inhbitor that meets the demand of both electrochemical property and mechanical property. It performs the noble features due to the formation of optimum amount of P-Zwitterions-(Cl)-Fe complex onto the steel rebar surface.

This study was performed to evaluate the application of corrosion inhibitor and to examine the correlation between corrosion rate and red water in a series of batch tests and a test using auto corrosion monitoring system at A water treatment plant in Gyeonggido. The corrosion study in the auto corrosion monitoring system indicated that Fe concentration decreased by 30~50% and corrosion rate also reduced remarkably with corrosion inhibitor at $1.8mg\;PO_4/L$. After addition of corrosion inhibitor, it was indicated the effective adsorption of the inhibitor on the surface of the pipe line forming a protective film. The corrosion rate increases with the increase in Fe concentration. With $1.8mg\;PO_4/L$ of corrosion inhibitor, the corrosion rate decreased remarkably. Fe concentration had correlation to not only red water problems but also the corrosion rate that actually dissolved into the water, primarily due to the deposition of oxidized iron or other compounds as a scale, which serves as a large reservoir of corrosion by-product. Therefore, corrosion rate can be estimated by Fe concentration. For these reasons, an effective corrosion inhibitor is also an effective red water control reagent. The effect of the corrosion inhibition can last for some time even the application the corrosion inhibitor is discontinued. For the cost effective and efficient corrosion control, the concentration and timing of corrosion inhibitor addition must be determined properly.

For ships, heat resistant coating is applied on the aluminized steel pipe systems dealing with high temperature steam over $200^{\circ}C$. The coatings on these steam pipes should retain both heat resistance and anti-corrosion properties to provide long-term resistance against coating defects (rust, delamination and crack) under the harsh outdoor environment including repeated seawater wetting and condensation. Thus, it is important to improve the coating qualities and to reduce maintenance works for these steam pipe systems. In this study, five different commercial heat resistant coatings (A, B, C, D, E) were selected for evaluation. Various physical properties of these coatings were evaluated on the coatings applied on the aluminized steam pipes. FT-IR analysis was also employed to identify the factors contributing the degree of heat resistance and durability of each coating material. The results indicated that the heat resistance capacity of coatings increased with the increase of silicon content as well as the decrease of substituent content. Both products C and D showed the best coating qualifies, which can be standard coating systems for future steam pipe areas.

최근 들어 내수용 및 수출용 자동차 보증 제도를 살펴보면 부품에 대한 방식 보증기간이 점차 연장되는 추세이며, 이에 따라 자동차사에서 요구하는 방식 및 내식성 평가 기준이 상향되어 가고 있다. 실제로 수출차에 대한 방청 품질 보증기간이 차체 구멍 발청 10년에서 12년으로 연장할 움직임을 보이는 등 점차 방식에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 따라서 내식성 향상에 대한 끊임없는 연구가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있으며, 내식성 향상을 위해 구조/형상 변화, 도장 품질 향상, 최적화 설계 등 다방면에서 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그 중에서도 가장 근본적인 해결책인 소재의 내식성 향상에 대한 관심은 날로 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 특히 일본 등지에서는 GA 도금재의 사용이 증가하고 있으나, 아직은 내식성에 대한 효율적이고 체계적인 관리가 부족한 면이 있다. GA재는 합금화 과정에서 야기되는 Fe% 합금화도, 합금화 상분율(감마, 델타, 제타상), crater 등 복잡한 소재의 특성으로 인해 소재의 내식성 분석에 고려할 사항이 많다. 실제 여러 실험들을 통해서 GA재가 내식성에 영향이 있는 인자들에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되었지만 명확히 정량화되어 있지 않은 관계로 GA재의 내식성 관리 기준에 대해서도 명확하진 않은 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 당사재와 타사재의 고강도 GA재 (>440 MPa) 11종에 대해 crater분율, zeta상, 합금화도, 도금량 등의 다양한 도금 물성들을 조사하였다. 또한 이 시편들을 34일 동안의 복합염수 분무법(CCT)을 통해 얻은 최대 및 평균 블리스터 폭과 소재 표면품질 물성과의 상관관계를 통해서 부식과 연관된 관련인자들을 도출하고 정량적인 관계를 살펴보았다. GA재의 경우 다양한 물성들 중에서 도금 크레이터, 제타상, 합금화도 순으로 내식성에 영향을 주는 것으로 확인이 되었으며 이 세 인자들을 내식성 평가 지수화하여 GA재 생산시 효율적인 관리범위를 지정하는데 이용 가능할 수 있도록 diagram을 도출하였다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통하여 자동차사에서 요구하는 내식성 기준을 만족하기 위한 내식성 상관 인자들의 관리 수준을 정량화함으로써 보다 우수한 소재의 관리를 할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

In preparative anti-corrosive coating experiments, polyaniline was obtained by reacting an oxidizing agent with the monomer aniline. Further, the primer coating was prepared using a variety of widely-used materials such as urethane resin. For the top coating, epoxy resin and acrylic urethane resin were used. Characteristics of the coatings were assessed according to KS and ASTM specifications, and the structure of the polyaniline was characterized using FT-IR and TGA. For analysis of anti-corrosive properties in salt-spray experiments, measurements of the oxidation state of iron and surface atomic analysis were conducted using XPS and SEM-EDX. Unlike general anti-corrosive coatings which exhibit anti-corrosive effects only as a primer coating, the anti-corrosive coatings using polyaniline as the anti-corrosive pigment showed a marked synergistic effect with the top coatings. In other words, the top coatings not only produce a fine view effect, but also increase, through interaction with the primer coatings, the resistance to diffusion of corrosive factors from the external environment. It was also found that, unlike the heavy metal oxide-forming layer of the passive barrier alone, the polyaniline anti-corrosive pigment oxidized iron at the interface with the iron substrate to form a passive barrier in the oxidic layer, and itself formed a potential barrier layer with anti-corrosive factors from the external environment. Although the passive layer was damaged, the damaged area did not become completely oxidized iron; on the contrary, it showed a tendency to reduction. This can be interpreted such that a passive layer is formed again on the damaged area, and that at the same time there is a tendency to self-healing.

In this study, the characteristics of HFIX insulated wire sheaths contaminated by pollutants were examined. KS C IEC 60811-1-3 standard was followed in performing the water-resistance wire tests. Pollutants were selected, and the specimens were exposed to the pollutants for a maximum duration of four weeks. The maximum tensile load and the elongation rate were measured each week. As the period of pollution exposure increased, the maximum tensile load of the specimens decreased by 6.22% and 6.52% at room temperature and high temperature, respectively, and 19.94% for specimens coated with a rust-proof lubricant. The elongation rate also decreased rapidly, such that the reductions in the properties of the sheath were significant. From the analysis of the surfaces using a scanning microscope, as the contamination period increased, structural changes such as perforation, split, and melting occurred, and the mechanical properties of the specimens decreased. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and follow an inspection cycle and periodically carry out repairs to prevent the deterioration of insulated wires.
