Recently the shortage of good aggregate has encouraged the use of sea sand in construction field, and the corrosion damage of the reinforced steel in concrete structures has been increased due to chlorides from sea sand and deicing salt. Therefore, a number of researchs are proceeding to prevent the corrosion of the reinforced steel in concrete, especially in marine environments. This study focused on the effect of corrosion inhibitors to evaluate protection characteristics for mortar specimens containing clorides. Corrosion behaviors have been investigated by half-cell potential measurement, linear polarization method, AC impedance method, and cyclic polarization test after immersing in sea water for 7 years. A possitive effect of a corrosion inhibitor has been obtained.

After etching Al-Cu alloy films using $SiCl_4/Cl_2/He/CHF_3$ plasma, a corrosion phenomenon on the metal surface has been studied with XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and SEM (Scanning electron microscopy). In Al-Cu alloy system, the corrosion occurs rapidly on the etched surface by residual chlorine atoms. To prevent the corrosion, the $SF_6$ plasma treatment subsequent to the etch has been carried out. A passivation layer is formed by fluorine-related compounds on etched Al-Cu alloy surface after $SF_6$ treatment, and the layer suppresses effectively the corrosion on the surface as the RF power of $SF_6$ treatment increases. The corrosion could be suppressed successfully with $SF_6$ treatment in the RF power of 150watts.

자장 여과 진공 아크법(Filtered Vacuum Arc :FVA)에 의해 증착된 비정질 다이아몬드 박막은 기계적, 광학적 특성이 매우 우수하여 많은 연구자들의 관심의 대상이 되어 왔다. 그러나 아크의 불안정성은 자장 여과 아크 소스의 연속적인 운전을 제한하고, 결과적으로 낮은 생산성을 가져왔다. 본 연구에서는 음극의 형태 및 음극 부근에서의 자기장의 구조를 음극 부식 거동의 관점에서 수치모사 및 실험을 통해서 조사하였다. 소스 전자석과 인출 전자석의 자극 방향이 평행하게 된 구조에서 (magnetic mirror configuration), 음극 후면에 반대 방향의 자극을 가지는 영구자석을 돔으로서 아크 불안정성을 억제할 수 있었다. 또한 소스 전자석에 진동하는 전류를 인가함으로써 아크 스팟의 운동 면적을 효과적으로 확장할 수 있었다. 시간 변화에 따른 빔 전류의 변화로부터 테이프형 음극이 우물형 음극에 비하여 더 안정하다는 것을 확인하였다. 진동하는 소스 전자석의 전류와 직경 80mm의 테이퍼형 음극을 사용하여, 아크 전류 60A에서 약 2000분 동안 사용하였으며, 이때 부식된 부피는 사용 가능한 음극 부피의 약 90%였다. 그리고 약 350mA의 안정한 빔 전류를 현재의 조건에서 얻었다.

After etching Al-Cu alloy films using $SiCl_4/Cl_2/He/CHF_3$ plasma, a corrosion phenomenon on the metal surface has been studied with XPS(X-ray pheotoelectron spectroscopy) and SEM (Scanning electron microscopy). In Al-Cu alloy system, the corrosion occurs rapidly on the etched surface by residual chlorine atoms. To prevent the corrosion, $CHF_3$ plasma treatment subsequent to the etch has been carried put. A passivation layer is formed by fluorine-related compounds on the etched Al-Cu surface after $CHF_3$ treatment, and the layer suppresses effectively the corrosion on the surface as the $CHF_3$treatment in the pressure of 300m Torr.

In this study, the optimum amount of hybrid inhibitors i.e. L-Arginine (LA) and sodium phosphate tribasic dodecahydrate (SP), applied for carbon steel rebar in simulated pore concrete (SCP) solution contaminated with 3.5 wt.% NaCl, was discovered. The corrosion inhibition performance of hybrid inhibitors was investigated by open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization. The highest corrosion inhibition efficiency was found as 99.52% corresponding to 2% LA and 0.25% SP after 210 h exposure. Anodic type inhibition action was confirmed by potentiodynamic polarization study. Surface studies including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to figure out the surface morphology of the steel rebar treated with hybrid inhibitors in order to collaborate with electrochemical studies.

해양구조물은 점점 대형화되어 가고 있는 추세에 있으며 또한 이들 구조물의 대형화에 따른 구조물의 보수, 유지관리가 매우 중요한 사안으로 등장하게 되었다. 뿐만 아니라, 이러한 구조물 등이 손상또는 파괴되었을 경우는 그에 따른 인적, 경제적 손실 또한 막대할 것으로 사료되며 이러한 구조물의 파괴사례중 상당 부분이 용접부의 부식문제 및 수소취화와 관련된 사고인것으로 보고되고 있다. 한편 용접은 급속가열, 급속냉각의 공적으로 인한 경도와 열적, 조직적 변화를 일으켜 용접부 각 미세부위별 전위차가 발생하게 되며, 이로 인해 갈바낙부실을 일으키는 것으로 보고 있다. 그리고 갈바닉 부식에 의한 용접부의 부식성을 억제하기 위해 용접후열처리(post weld heat treatment PWHT)를 시행하여 내식성을 향상시키는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서는 고장력강인 RE36강 시험편을 전기화학적 측면에서 최적의 용접후열처리 온도를 규명하였으며, 용접방법(FCAW, SMAW), 용접후 열처리 유무에 따른 용접부위의 저변형을 인장실험을 통한 기계적 특성, 전기화학적 특성 및 수소취화 감수성을 등을 규명하였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과는 해양구조물 선박의 설계시공시에 용접부 주위의 기계적. 전기화학적 특성 평가 및 수소취화 방지대책에 좋은 참고자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, the current-voltage curves for stainless steel in the triethanolamine(TEA) solution was measured using the conventional three electrodes of cyclic voltammetry. Stainless steel as working electrode, Ag/AgCl electrode as reference electrode and Pt wire as counter electrode were used respectively. As a result, the C-V characteristics of stainless steel were to be for an irreversible process due to the oxidation current from cyclic voltammogram, using triethanolamine solutions. Effective diffusivity of corrosion inhibitors was decreased with increasing concentration. And the concentration of 0.5 N $NaClO_4$, $2.5{\times}10^{-3}M$ TEA solution when the corrosion inhibition effect is most great, and 1.5 N $NaClO_4$, $1.0{\times}10^{-3}M$ TEA solution, the lowest corrosion inhibition effect.

The tap water used in Seoul was found to be corrosive. Its corrosivity was effectively reduced by that the additions of alkali agent such as NaOH, $Ca(OH)_2$ and corrosion inhibitor such as $H_3PO_4$. For the corrosion test, carbon steel pipe 50 m long was exposed to the drinking water produced by a pilot plant at $36.5^{\circ}C$, similar to the existing process where it takes about 20 minutes to reduce the initial chlorine content of 0.5 mg/L to 0.05 mg/L. $CO_2$ and $Ca(OH)_2$ was added not only to control the Langelier index (LI) above -1.0 and but also, to increase the duration time of residual chlorine by about 6 times. The persistence effect of residual chlorine was in the order of $H_3PO_4$ > $Ca(OH)_2$ > NaOH. Measurements of weight loss showed that corrosion inhibition was effective in order of $Ca(OH)_2$ > $H_3PO_4$ > NaOH > no addition, where the concentrations of $Ca(OH)_2$ and phosphate were 5 ~ 10 mg/L (as $Ca^{2+}$) and 1 mg/L (as $PO{_4}^{3-}$), respectively.

The corrosion of steel in concrete is significant in marine environment. Marine bridges are readily deteriorated due to the exposure to marine environment. Salt damage is one of the most detrimental causes to concrete bridges and port structures. Especially, the splash and tidal zones around water line are comparatively important in terms of safety and life-time point of view. During the last several decades, cathodic protection (cp) has been commonly accepted as an effective technique for corrosion control in concrete structures. Zn-mesh sacrificial anode has been recently developed and started to apply to the bridge column cp in marine condition. The detailed parameters regarding Zn-mesh cp technique, however, have not well understood. This study is to investigate how much Zn-mesh cp influences along the concrete column at elevated temperature. About 100cm column specimens with eight of 10cm segment rebars have been used to measure the variation of cp potential with the distance from Zn-mesh anode at both 10$^{\circ}$C and 40$^{\circ}$C in natural seawater. The cp potential change and current diminishment along the column specimens have been discussed for the optimum design of cp by Zn-mesh sacrificial anode
