세계 각국은 산업 고도화에 따라 해수환경에 내식성, 내마모성을 갖는 재료에 대한 수요가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 특히 표면이 미려하고 내식성이 강한 스테인리스강은 선박, 해양 플랜트 및 조류발전 등 다양한 산업분야에 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 해양환경에서 $Cl^-$ 이온에 의한 부식 손상과 고속회전에 따라 캐비테이션 손상이 발생하기 쉽다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 해수 내 빠른 유속 환경에 사용되는 304 스테인리스강에 대해 캐비테이션 침식-부식실험을 실시하여 외부 조건이 스테인리스강의 내식성에 미치는 영향을 종합 분석하였다. 캐비테이션이 발생된 조건에서 워터캐비테이션 피닝효과에 의한 시험편 내에 압축잔류응력 형성으로 높은 경도를 나타냈으나, 물리적 충격으로 인한 산화피막 파괴로 동전위 분극 실험에서는 높은 전류밀도를 나타냈다. 따라서 해수 내 캐비테이션에 대한 저항성을 향상시키기 위해서는 전기화학적 특성뿐만 아니라 기계적 특성도 복합적으로 고려한 재료의 선택이 필요하다.

Cu alloy is widely used for marine applications due to its excellent ductility and high resistance for corrosion as wells as cavitation. However, long term exposure of the material to marine environments may result in damages caused by cavitation and corrosion. Water cavitation peening has been introduced in order to improve resistance of Cu alloy to corrosion and cavitation. The technology induces compressive residual stress onto the surface, and thus enhances the fatigue strength and life. In this study, the characteristics of the material were investigated by using water cavitaiton peening technique, and results showed that 2 minutes of water cavitation peening indicated the considerable improvement in hardness. On the other hand, over 10 minutes of water cavitation peening accelerated damages to the surface. In the case of ALBC3, water cavitation peening in the range of 2 to 10 minutes has shown the excellent durability and corrosion resistance while minimizing surface damages.

The cavity formed by the ultrasonic generation in the fluid with the application of water cavitation peening collides into the metal surface. At this time, the surface modification effect such as the work hardening presents by the compressive residual stress formed due to the localized plastic deformation. In this investigation, the water cavitation peening technology in the distilled water with the lapse of time was applied to 5052-O aluminum alloy for aluminum ship of a high value. So, the optimum water cavitation peening time on the effect for surface hardening and anti-corrosion property was investigated. Consequently, the water cavitatin peening time on excellent hardness and corrosion resistance characteristic presented 3.5 min. and 5.0 min, respectively. The surface hardness in the optimum water cavitation peening time was improved approximately 45% compared to the non-WCPed condition. In addition, corrosion current density was decreased.
