매설배관의 부식위험성을 최소화하고 음극방식의 효율극대화를 위해 다양한 비굴착 간접검사기법들이 수십년 전부터 이용되고 있으며, 미국에서는 굴착을 통한 매설배관 외면부식 직접평가법을 CFR 코드에서 규정하고 있다. 국내의 경우에는 도시가스사업법 관련 4개의 기준(KGS Code)에서 배관의 손상여부를 측정할 수 있는 장비를 이용하여 배관의 상태를 점검, 측정하고 이상부위에 대하여 누출검사를 한 경우 매설배관의 기밀시험을 한 것으로 보고 있을 뿐 배관외면부식 직접평가에 대한 규정은 없다. 본 논문에서는 미국, 영국 등 국외의 매설배관 건전성 관리 기준 및 방법을 조사하고, 국내의 매설배관 방식관리 실태 및 피복손상탐지 장치 이용실태 등을 조사한 후 국내 실정에 맞는 매설배관 외면부식 직접평가법을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 매설배관 외면부식 직접 평가법은 국내에서 중압배관의 정밀안전진단 제도를 도입하는데 기초 자료로 활용되었다.

본 논문은 부식 배관의 파손 가능성에 대해 확률론적 분석방법을 설명하고, 이를 단순화하여 계산할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 부식 배관의 파손은 운전압력이 부식 배관의 잔존강도를 초과할 때 발생하는데 이를 한계상태 함수로 설정하여 분석하면 부식이 진행됨에 따른 누출확률에 대한 불확실성을 예측할 수 있다. 이 한계상태 함수는 해석해가 존재하지 않으므로 전통적으로 불확실성을 예측하기 위해 Monete-Carlo Simulation (MCS)을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 한계상태 함수의 해가 하나만 존재한다는 점에 착안하여 그 해를 수치적으로 찾는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 MCS를 이용한 결과와 비교할 때 오차가 적으면서도 매우 빠르게 계산할 수 있어 효율적인 방법이라 판단된다.

This paper presents the effect of external corrosion, material properties, operation condition and design thickness in pipeline on failure prediction using a failure probability model. The predicted failure assessment for the simulated corrosion defects discovered in corroded pipeline is compared with that determined by ANSI/ASME B31G code and a modified B31G method. The effects of environmental, operational, and random design variables such as defect depth, pipe diameter, defect length, fluid pressure, corrosion rate, material yield stress and pipe thickness on the failure probability are systematically studied using a failure probability model for the corrosion pipeline.

The electrochemical behaviors of various metals with and without diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coating in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution were investigated. The effect of hydrodynamic conditions was focused by employing a rotating disc electrode (RDE). The experimental results showed that each bare metal had a more positive corrosion potential and a higher corrosion rate due to enhanced oxygen transport at the higher rotating speed of the RDE. DLC coating caused a substantial increase in the corrosion resistance of all metals studied. However, localized corrosion was still found in the DLC-coated metal at sites where deposition defects existed. Surface morphology examination was performed after the electrochemical test to confirm the roles of hydrodynamic conditions and DLC coating.

We present the shape determination method of 3-D reinforcement corrosion based on observed temperature on concrete surface. The non-destructive testing for reinforcement corrosion in concrete using a heat image on concrete surface have been proposed by Oshita. The position of the reinforcement of corrosion or the cavity can be found using that method. However, the size of those defects can not be precisely measured based on the heat image. We therefore proposed the numerical determination system of the shape for the reinforcement corrosion using the observed temperature on the concrete surface. The adjoint variable method is introduced to formulate the shape determination problem, and the finite element method is employed to simulate the heat transfer problem. Some numerical experiments and the examination for the number of the observation points are shown in this paper.

The objective of this study was to evaluate corrosion resistance of additive manufactured 316L stainless steel and alloy 625 powders widely used in corrosion resistance alloys of marine industry in comparison with cast alloys. Directed Energy Deposition (DED) method was used in this work for sample production. DED parameter adjustment was also studied for optimum manufacturing and for minimizing the influence of defects on corrosion property. Additive manufactured alloys showed lower corrosion resistance in seawater compared to cast alloys. The reason for the degradation of anti-corrosion property was speculated to be due to loss of microstructural integrity intrinsic to the additive manufacturing process. Application of heat treatment with various conditions after DED was attempted. The effect of heat treatments was analyzed with a microstructure study. It was found that 316L and alloy 625 produced by the DED process could recover their expected corrosion resistance when heat treated at 1200 ℃.

The high rate of corrosion of magnesium alloys makes it limited for industrial applications. Therefore, surface treatment is required to enhance their corrosion resistance. In our study, a chemical conversion coating for protecting the corrosion of the magnesium alloy, AZ31B, was prepared by using a phosphate-permanganate solution. The chemical conversion coating had a limited protection ability due to defects arising from cracks and pores in the coating layer. The sol-gel coating was prepared by using trimethoxymethylsilane (MTMS) and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as precursors, and aluminum acetyl acetonate as a ring opening agent. The corrosion protection properties of sol-gel and conversion coatings in 0.35wt% NaCl solution were measured by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization test. The EIS results indicated that the resistance of the chemical conversion coating with the sol-gel coating was significantly improved through the sol-gel sealed phosphate-permanganate conversion coating. The results of the potentiodynamic polarization test revealed that the sol-gel coating decreased the corrosion current density ($I_{corr}$). The SEM image showed that the sol-gel coating sealed conversion coating and improved corrosion protection.

Corrosion of the disk has been an ongoing concern for the manufacturers of hard disk drives. With the advent of magnetoresistive (MR) head, very low levels of corrosion and contamination become more critical since the raised defects and corrosion products on the disk surface-anything that heats the MR sensor due to the contact-can distort the output signal of the head. This phenomenon is called as thermal asperity. In this paper, the effect of corrosion as a form of Co migration on the occurrence of thermal asperity in MR drives was investigated. The corrosion test at high temperature (60$^{\circ}C$) and high relative humidity (80%) was emphasized in this study and the testing results at ambient condition were compared. The corrosion on the disks was characterized as the amount of Co ion migration using an ion chromatography (IC) and a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS). It is proved that corrosion on the disk surface after storage testing is closely correlated to the amount of Co ions migration from the magnetic layer to disk surfaces and higher Co migration causes more thermal asperities in the drive. In order to reduce Co migration, several methods such as burnishing process and structure of the carbon overcoat were investigated. It is found that the hydrogenated carbon overcoat shows the least Co migration among different types of overcoat layer. However, the most effective way to reduce Co migration is the application of Cr layer between the overcoat and the magnetic alloy layer.

Recently, with rapid increase of gas demand, there occurs much interest their security of safety in the gas storage tanks and pressure vessels etc. In order to solve the problems, the occurrence of corrosion fatigue crack and the propagation behavior must be investigated. Especially the occurrence of corrosion fatigue crack and the propagation behavior in the part which has concentrated stress or defects, must be studied more carefully. In this paper, the high-tensile steel of SPV 50 which is much used for building the LPG storage tanks was tested by the use of a plane bending corrosion fatigue tester under the various marine environments and in the air. These experiments were done to investigate the corrosion fatigue crack propagation behavior, the variation of aspect ratio for part through crack and electro-chemical characteristics of the metal. The main results obtained are as follows ; 1. Comparing the same surface crack length with the crack depth, the crack depth toward the thickness of specimen in air propagated faster than that in corrosion environment. 2. The aspect variation of the half elliptical crack can be estimated as following equation; b/a=i-jb/t where a : surface crack length, b : crack depth, t : specimen thickness, i,j : experimental constants but the slope j is decreased as specific resistance decreases. 3. As the specific resistance of corrosion environment decrease or the corrosion fatigue crack propagates, the corrosion potential become less noble.

This paper presents the effect of shape of external corrosion in pipeline on failure prediction by using numerical simulation. The numerical study for the pipeline failure analysis is based on the FEM(Finite Element Method) with an elastic-plastic and large-deformation analysis. The predicted failure stress assessed for the simulated corrosion defects having different corroded shapes along the pipeline axis are compared with those by methods specified in ANSl/ASME B31G code and a modified B31G code.
