In this study, fundamental properties of mortar with the variation of dosage of anti-rust agent has been tested to evaluate the effect of the anti-rust agent. Dosage of anti-rust agent was fixed as 0,3,6,9%, respectively. The variation of the flow, compressive strength and diffusion speed of chloride ion has been tested to evaluate the effect of the anti-rust agent. Results showed that flow has been smally increased. For the compressive strength, compressive strength increased with the increase of dosage of agent. For the diffusion speed of chloride, the speed decreased with the increase of dosage of the anti-rust agent. For the overall consideration, it could be identified that when the dosage of anti-rust agent was fixed as 3-6%, the mortar showed the optimum performances.

Celite with enormous pore space inside can hold small molecules and can be well blended with polyethylene (PE) to make a Celite-PE film. Two types of Celite-PE film were prepared, one with Celite surface-treated with surfactant to reduce the hydrophilicity and another with plain Celite. The anti-rust chemical such as dicyclohexylamine, dicyclohexylamine nitrite, or diisopropylamine was allowed to permeate into celite pore in the film, and slowly evaporated to protect the packaged steel material from the rust for a long period of time. The chemical concentration in the different packaging film bags was analyzed by a gas chromatography for a month, and the anti-rust effect on iron labware was compared for a six month period. The Celite film was superior to PE film in anti-rust effect and the long-term anti-rust chemical evaporation.

The atmospheric corrosion performance of Al-alloying, Si-alloying and Al-Si-alloying steel were studied by wet/dry cyclic corrosion tests (CCT) at $30^{\circ}C$ and 60% relative humidity (RH). The corrosion electrolyte used for CCT was 0.052 wt% $NaHSO_{3}$ (pH~4) solution. The result of gravimetry demonstrated that Al-Si-bearing steels showed lower corrosion resistance than other rusted steels. But the rusted 0.7%Si-alloying steel showed a better corrosion resistance than rusted mild steel. Polarization curves demonstrated that Al-/Si-alloying and Al-Si-alloying improved the rest potential of steel at the initial stage; and accelerated the cathodic reduction and anodic dissolution after a rust layer formed on the surfaces of steels. XRD results showed that Al-Si-alloying decreased the volume fraction of $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ and $\alpha-FeOOH$. The recycle of acid accelerated the corrosion of steel at the initial stage. After the rust layer formed on the steel, the leak of rust destabilized the rust layer due to the dissolution of compound containing Al (such as $FeAl_{2}O_{4}$, $(Fe,\;Si)_{2}(Fe,\;Al)O_{4}$). Al-Si-alloying is hence not suitable for improving the anti-corrosion resistance of steel in industrial atmosphere.

Modern artworks are constructed using a variety of materials and techniques. Sculptures, which predominantly consist of metals, usually have different shapes and consist of different material mixtures. The structural and material properties of these sculptures are often controlled by conservation treatment methods. However, the application of existing treatment methods is challenging at times, indicating that more diverse treatment materials and techniques are necessary. Therefore, in this study, a treatment method that employs volatile corrosion inhibitor(VCI) powder, rather than an anti-corrosion solution, for the conservation and management of metal artworks was used. VCI powder and VCI films containing VCI powder were used, and the results obtained confirmed that both of them showed anti-corrosion effect. Only a slight change in the chromaticity of metal samples was observed, and compared to the untreated samples, the application of the VCI powder resulted in a decrease in the rate of corrosion by half. Moreover, VCI film tests revealed that comparing to the untreated or polyethylene film-treated samples, VCI film treatment resulted in a decrease in the occurrence of corrosion compounds. The contact angle, surface energy, and surface electrical resistance were measured, and the evaluation of these surface properties established the anti-corrosion effect of VCI. Additionally, direct application of VCI and VCI films on actual sculptures further confirmed the anti-corrosion effect of VCI.
