The corrosion inhibiting mechanism of Vietnam orange peel essential oil (OPEO) for mild steel in 1 N HCl solution was investigated elaborately. Corrosion inhibition ability of OPEO was characterized by electrochemical polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and weight loss method. In the corrosive solution, OPEO worked as a mixed inhibitor and the inhibition efficiency of OPEO increased with the increase of its concentration. High inhibition efficiencies over 90% were achieved for the concentration of 3 - 4 g/L OPEO, comparable to that of 3.5 g/L urotropine (URO), a commercial corrosion inhibitor for acid media used in industry. By using adsorption isotherm models (Langmuir, Temkin and Frumkin), thermodynamic parameters of adsorption were calculated. The obtained results indicated physical adsorption mechanism of OPEO on the steel surface. The components responsible for the corrosion inhibition activity of OPEO were not only D-limonene, but also other compounds, which contain C=O, C=C, O-H, C-O-C, -C=CH and C-H bonding groups in the molecules.

Recently a fuel oil of the diesel engine of the marine ship is being changed with heavy oil of low quality as the oil price is higher more and more. Therefore the wear and corrosion in all parts of the engine such as cylinder liner, piston crown, spindle and seat ring of exhaust valves are predominantly increased. In particular the degree of wear and corrosion of piston crown is more seriously compared to the other parts of the engine due to operating in severe environment such as the high temperature of exhaust gas and repeating impact. Thus the repair weldment of the piston crown is a unique method to prolong the its life in a economical point of view. In this case, filler metals having a high corrosion and wear resistance such as stellite 6, Inconel 625 and Inconel 718 are mainly being used for repair welding. However it has been often happened that piston crown on the ship,s job site is being actually inevitably welded with mild filler metals. Therefore in this study, filler metals such as E4301, E4313 and E4316 were welded at SS401 steel as the base metal, and corrosion property of their weld metals in the case of post weld heat treatment or not was investigated with some electrochemical methods such as measurement of corrosion potential, cathodic and anodic polarization curves, cyclic voltammogram and polarization resistance etc. in 0.1% $H_2SO_4$ solution. Corrosion resistance of the weld metal of E4301 was better than the other weld metals in the case of no heat treatment, however, its resistance was considerably decreased with post weld heat treatment(annealing:$625^{\circ}C$, 2 hr) compared to other weld metals. The weld metals of E4313 and E4316 showed a relatively good corrosion resistance by post weld heat treatment.

$WC-Ti_{1}$ -xA $l_{x}$ N multilayered coatings are performed by their periodically repeated structures of lamellae of WC-Ti/$WC-Ti_{1}$ -xA $l_{x}$ Nmaterials. The $WC-Ti_{1}$ -xA $l_{x}$ N coatings with variable Al content were deposited onto AISI D2 steel by cathodic arc deposition (CAD) method. The electrochemical behavior of multilayered $WC-Ti_{1}$ -xA $l_{x}$ N coatings with different phases (WC- Ti$0.6/Al_{0.4}$ N, $WC-Ti_{0.53}$$Al_{0.47}$N, $WC-Ti_{0.5}$ $Al_{0.5}$ N and $WC-Ti_{ 0.43}$$Al_{0.57}$ N) was investigated in deaerated 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature. The corrosion behaviors for the multilayered coatings were investigated by electrochemical techniques (potentiodynamic polarization) and surface analyses (X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES)). In the petentiodynamic polarization test, the corrosion current density of $WC-Ti_{0.5}$$Al_{0.5}$N was lower than others.

본 연구는 Cr-Mo-V강의 다양한 분극특성들을 이용하여 비파괴적으로 재질열화를 평가하는 전기화학적 기법에 대해서 서술한 것이다. 사용된 전기화학적 기법은 스테인레스강의 열 이력에 의해 주로 야기되는 강화원소 결핍 영역에서의 예민화 그리고 부식속도를 평가하기 위해 널리 사용되는 양극분극 시험법이다. 재질열화 평가는 $10{\times}10{\times}0.5mm$ 크기의 시험편을 사용하는 미소역학 시험법으로 잘 알려진 SP시험에 의해 수행되었다. $630^{\circ}C$에서 1,000hrs 시효된 재료가 가장 높은 재질 열화도 ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP}$을 보였으나, 2,000hrs 그리고, 3,000hrs 시효된 재료는 시효 시간이 증가함에 따라 ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP}$의 감소를 보였다. 전류밀도의 차 $({\Delta}I_{FP},\;{\Delta}I_{SP})$가 1,000hrs 시효시간까지는 증가하였고, 그 이후의 시효시간에서는 시효시간의 증가와 더불어 감소됨이 관찰되었다. 이 같은 결과는 시효재료에 대한 경도의 거동과 일치하였다. 덧붙여, ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{sp}$는 ${\Delta}I_{FP}$ 및 ${\Delta}I_{SP}$와 같은 전기화학적 분극특성들과 좋은 상관관계를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

연료전지 운전 중에 스택(stack) 분리판 접착부위나 다른 경로로 부동액이 누설될 경우에는 화학적 반응에 영향을 주어 성능의 저하가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 부동액이 누설되었을 경우의 성능 거동을 관찰하는 실험을 수행하였다. $400mA/cm^2$ 전류밀도 조건에서 마이크로 펌프를 이용하여 부동액을 주입하였으며 상대습도 100%/100%와 수소와 공기의 양론비는 1.5/2.0으로 고정하여 실험을 수행하였다. 3 cell stack을 이용하여 부동액을 주입한 후 정전류 회복 실험을 수행한 결과 cathode측에 부동액을 주입하였을 경우에는 성능이 회복되었고 anode측에 부동액을 주입하였을 경우에는 성능이 회복되기 어려운 것으로 나타났다. Anode측이 회복되지 못하는 이유로는 ethylene glycol의 산화반응에서 발생하는 불순물에 의한 피독 현상과 GDL과 3상 계면에 ethylene glycol이 물리적으로 흡착하였을 경우 반응에 필요한 연료 공급의 방해로 인한 성능 저하를 예상할 수 있다. 성능 저하에 영향을 주는 두 가지 변수를 확인하는 실험을 수행하였다. 회복 실험은 anode측에 water pump를 이용하여 질소 기체와 물을 동시에 공급하는 방법으로 실험을 수행하였고, 1시간 간격으로 성능 회복 유무를 확인하였다. 성능 평가는 polarization curve, cyclic voltammetry(CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)를 사용하였으며, 정량분석은 gas chromatography를 이용하여 분석하였다. 부동액 주입 후 성능은 크게 저하되었고 정전류 회복 실험에서도 성능 회복은 미미하게 나타났다. 이 후 물 주입회복 실험을 수행하였고 회복 실험을 수행한 2시간 이후에는 93% 이상의 회복을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The extent of materials deterioration can be evaluated accurately by mechanical test such as impact test or creep test. But it is almost impossible to extract a large test specimen from in-service components. Thus material degradation evaluation by non-destructive method is earnestly required. In this paper, the material degradation for virgin and several aged materials of a Cr-Mo-V steel, which is an candidated as structural material of the turbine casing components for electric power plant, is nondestructively evaluated by reactivation polarization testing method. And, the results obtained from the test are compared with those in small punch(SP) tests recommended as a semi-nondestructive testing method using miniaturized specimen. In contrast to the aged materials up to 1,000hrs which exhibit the degradation behaviors with increased ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP}$, the improvement of mechanical property can be observed on the 2,000hrs and 3,000hrs aged materials. This is because of the softening of material due to the carbide precipitation, the increase of ferritic structures and the recovery of dislocation microstructure by long-time heat treatment. The reactivation rates($I_R/I_{Crit},\;Q_R/Q_{Crit}$) calculated by reactivation current densityt ($I_R$) and charge($Q_R$) in the polarization curves exhibit a good correlation with ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP}$ behaviors.

Electroplating is a widely used surface treatment method in the manufacturing process of electronic parts and uniformity of the electrodeposition thickness is very crucial for these applications. Since many variables including fluid flow influence the uniformity of the film, it is difficult to conduct efficient research only by experiments. So many studies using simulation have been carried out. However, the most popular simulation technique, which calculates secondary current distribution, has a limitation on the considering the effects of fluid flow on the deposition behavior. And modified method, which is calculating a tertiary current distribution, is limited to a two-dimensional study of simple shapes because of the massive computational load. In the present study, we propose a new electroplating simulation method that can be applied to complex shapes considering the effect of flow. This new model calculates the electroplating process with three steps. First, the thickness of boundary layers on the surface of the cathode plane and velocity magnitudes at the positions are calculated from the simulation of fluid flow. Next, polarization curves of different velocities are obtained by calculations or experiments. Finally, both results are incorporated into the electroplating simulation program as boundary conditions at the cathode plane. The results of the model showed good agreements with the experimental results, and the effects of fluid flow of electrolytes on the uniformity of deposition thickness was quantitatively predicted.

LSM is widely used as a cathode material in SOFC, because of its high electrochemical activity, good stability and compatibility with YSZ electrolyte at high temperature. However, LSM in traditional cathode materials will not generate a satisfactory performance at intermediate temperature. In order to reduce the polarization resistance of cell with the operating temperature of SOFC system, the cathode material of LSCF is one of the most suitable electrode materials because of its high mixed ionic and electronic conductivity. In this report, cathode material, $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_3$ powder for intermediate temperature SOFC was synthesized by Pechini method using the starting materials such as nitrate of La, Sr, Co and Fe including ethylene glycol, etc. As a result, the synthesized powder that calcined above $700^{\circ}C$ exhibits successfully perovskite structure, indicating phase-pure of LSCF. Moreover, the particle size, surface area, crystal structure and morphology of the synthesized oxide powders were characterized by SEM, XRD, and BET, etc. In order to evaluate the electrochemical performance for the synthesized powder, slury mixture using the synthesized cathode material was coated by screen-printing process on the anode-supported electrolyte which was prepared by a tape casting method and co-sintering. Finally, electrochemical studies of the SOFC unit cell, including measurements such as power density and impedance, were performed.
