Two kinds of welding methods were carried out for 22APU stainless steel, one is a Laser welding and the other is the TIG welding. In this case, difference of corrosion characteristics of welded zone with two welding methods mentioned above was investigated with electrochemical methods such as measurement of corrosion potential, polarization curves and cyclic voltammogram etc.. Vickers hardness of all welded zone (WM:Weld Metal, HAZ:Heat Affected Zone, BM:Base Metal)in the case of Laser welding showed a relatively higher value than those of TIG welding. Futhermore their corrosion current density in all welding zone were also observed with a lower value compared to TIG welding. In particular corrosion current density of BM regardless of welding method indicated the lowest value than those of other welding zone. Intergranular corrosion was not observed at the corroded surface of all welding zone in the case of Laser welding, however it was observed at WM and HAZ with TIG welding, which is suggested that chromiun depletion due to forming of chromium carbide appears to WM and HAZ which is in the range of sensitization temperature. Therefore their zone can easily be corroded with more active anode. Consequently we can see that corrosion resistance of all welding zone of 22APU stainless steel can apparently be improved by using of Laser welding.

최근 경량화, 리사이클성, 기기의 소형화, 내환경성 등의 이점을 가지고 있는 알루미늄 합금이 여러 분야서 재인식 되고 있다. 그러나 이런 알루미늄 합금이 부식 환경에 노출 될 경우 음력부식균열이 발생할 수 있게 된다. 이러한 음력부식균열의 발생은 알루미늄의 기계적 특성에 안 좋은 영향을 미치므로 제품의 품질저하, 수명 단축, 효율저하, 재해발생 등 직간접적으로 광범위한 피해를 입게 되기에 부식에 대한 많은 연구가 진행이 되고 있다. 이 중에 고비강도용 알루미늄 압출소재인 Al 6xxx계 합금의 열처리 및 조성 변화에 따른 음력부식 균열의 거동에 대해 연구하였다. 응력부식균열 시험은 SSRT시험으로 많이 하고 있는데, 이 시험은 인장시편을 부식 환경 하에 노출하면서 천천히 일정한 변형속도로 당기는 시험이다. 본 연구에서는 Strain rate를 ${10^{-6}}s^{-1}$ 부식용액은 1M-NaCl + 0.6M-$Na_{2}SO_{4}$ + 0.3%-$H_{2}O_{2}$을 사용하여 시험을 하였다. 그러나 시험에 대한 분석은 Tafel polarization curve, SEM, OMS를 이용하였다.

There are many surface protection methods for numerous steel structures being used under severely corrosive environment, one of them, metallizing(thermal spray) is a available protection method which is comparatively and recently developed for surrface protection of various steel structures. However coating film obtained by spraying is to be needed increasingly more good corrosion resistance due to accelerating of environmental contamination. In this study, coating films(DFT:$200{\mu}m$) are performed with arc spray by wire metal and their types of films are pure zinc, pure aluminum, alloy film(Al:Zn=85:15) and alloy film(Al:Zn=95:5). And corrosion resistance of their films was investigated with electrochemical methods in seawater solution. Pure aluminum film showed a relatively somewhat good corrosion resistance compared to among those of other films and alloy films also showed a good corrosion resistance compared to pure zinc film. Especially it was observed that pure aluminum film showed a comparatively good corrosion resistance than that of alloy film named as galvarium spray(Al:Zn=85:15) in seawater solution. Morphology of corroded surface of pure zinc film appeared the pattern like intergranlar corrosion, however films of pure aluminum and alloy metal showed a general corrosion pattern.
