Invar is a compound metal of Fe-Ni system contained 36.5% Ni. The characteristic of invar is that the coefficient of thermal expansion is $1.0{\times}10^{-6}cm/^{\circ}C$. It is approximately 10 times smaller than series of steel. Because of this low thermal expansion characteristic of Invar, it is used to shadow mask of display device such as UHDTV or OLED TV. In this study, pulse current from pulse generator instead of DC current is used to overcome the disadvantages of the conventional electrochemical machining. Pulsed current with different duty factor in PECM affect the precise geometry. Pulse electrochemical machining is conducted to machine the micro hole to the invar sheet with different duty factor. The machined shape and overcut of invar sheet with different duty factor is observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

The Li-air battery is a promising candidate for the most energy-dense electrochemical power source because it has 5 to 10 times greater energy storage capacity than that of Li-ion batteries. However, the Li-air cell performance falls short of the theoretical estimate, primarily because the discharge terminates well before the pore volume of the air electrode is completely filled with lithium oxides. Therefore, the structure of carbon used in the air electrode is a critical factor that affects the performance of Li-air batteries. In a previous study, we reported a new class of carbon nanomaterial, named carbon nanoballs (CNBs), consisting of highly mesoporous spheres. Structural characterization revealed that the synthesized CNBs have excellent a meso-macro hierarchical pore structure, with an average diameter greater than 10 nm and a total pore volume more than $1.00cm^3g^{-1}$. In this study, CNBs are applied in an actual Li-air battery to evaluate the electrochemical performance. The formation mechanism and electrochemical performance of the CNBs are discussed in detail.

The aim of this study was to investigate characteristics of formation of mixed oxidants and some aspects of the performance of electrochemical process as an alternative disinfection strategy for water purification. The study of electrochemical process has shown free chlorine to be produced, but smaller amounts of stronger oxidants, such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide and OH radicals, were also generated. The formation of ozone and hydrogen peroxide increased with increasing electric conductivity, but was limited at conductivities greater than 0.6 mS/cm. Also, formation of OH radical was enhanced as electric conductivity was increased to 0.9 mS/cm and The stead-state concentrations of OH radical were calculated at $1.1{\sim}6.4{\times}10^{-14}M$. Using E. coti, inactivation kinetic studies were performed. With the exception of free chlorine, the role of mixed oxidants, especially OH radical, was investigated for enhancement of the inactivation rate.

Many surface protection methods have been developed to apply for constructional steels used under severe corrosive environment. Thermal spray coating has been known to be an attractive technique due to its relatively high coating speed. Furthermore high corrosion resistance of coated film with thermal spray is required to expand its application. Four types of coated films(DFT:300 um) such as pure zinc, pure aluminum and two Al-Zn alloy (Al:Zn=85:15 and Al:Zn=95:5) onto the carbon steel (SS401) were prepared with arc spray, and the corrosion behavior of their samples were evaluated by electrochemical method in this study. Pure aluminum sample showed high corrosion resistance behavior exposed to sea water solution and pure zinc and alloy (Al:Zn=95:5) samples followed pure aluminum sample. The other alloy(Al:Zn=85:15) so called galvalume coated onto the carbon steel ranks the 4th corrosion resistance in this study. The results of porosity ratio of those samples by observation are well matched with the electrochemical data.

This paper was studied on the electrochemical corrosion characteristics of weld zone for refrigerating and heating systems pipe. Austenitic stainless steel is widely applied to various fields of industry, because it is good to corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. But STS 304 is reliable to sensitization by heat cycle on welding. Therefore, in this study, electrochemical polarization test of STS 304 steel pipe manufactured by arc welding in tap water was carried out. And then polarization resistance behavior, uniform and local corrosion behaviors of base metal(BM), weld metal(WM) and heat affected zone(HAZ) for STS 304 pipe were investigated. The corrosion current density of STS 304 steel pipe is high in order of BM(153nA/cm2) < WM(614nA/cm2) < HAZ ($1.675{\mu}A/cm2$). The pitting potential of HAZ(238mV/SCE) for STS 304 is lower than BM(1206mV/SCE) and WM(369mV/SCE). Therefore, the local corrosion like pitting corrosion, galvanic corrosion and crevice corrosion of HAZ for STS 304 is more sensitive than BM and WM.

The performance and inhibitory action of the aqueous extract of Cyperus Conglomeratus's leaves against corrosion of XC70 steel in a 1M HCl acid medium are studied by the determination of the weight loss, the potentiodynamic polarization curves analysis, and electrochemical impedance measurements (electrochemical techniques). The corrosion inhibitory efficiency of XC70 steel increases with the increasing concentration of the green inhibitor, however, the corrosion rate of the steel decreases. Weight loss measurements show that the maximum percentage corrosion inhibition efficiency is approximately 61.86%, while the analysis of the mixed character polarization curves shows that the inhibitor could achieve an inhibition efficiency of 86.96%. The electrochemical impedance study confirmed that the value of the charge transfer resistance (R_ct) increases and the value of the double layer capacity (C_dl) decreases with increasing concentration of the aqueous extract of Cyperus Conglomeratus's leaves, thus increasing the inhibition efficiency. The study showed that this aqueous extract acts by adsorption on the metal surface; this adsorption follows the Langmuir isotherm. This research work showed that Cyperus Conglomeratus leaves extract acts as an effective and eco-friendly inhibitor on mild steel in an acid medium.

Ti alloys are used in a wide range of applications, especially for aviation and medical purposes, because of their high specific strength and excellent corrosion properties. When subjected to various manufacturing processes, one of the most popular Ti alloys, Ti-6Al-4V, exhibits a variety of microstructural and mechanical properties that makes it an attractive lightweight metal. The purpose of this study was to analyze the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti alloy wires. Subsequently, the microstructure and electrochemical behavior of Ti alloy bolts produced from these wires were analyzed. The Ti alloy wires are manufactured with different diameters (6.22, 7.81 mm alloys), and their microstructures are measured using electron backscatter diffraction. Recrystallization was observed to occur significantly in the 7.81 alloy than in the 6.81 alloy, and the strain distribution of 7.81 alloy is seen to be likely more uniform than 6.22 alloy. Ti alloy bolt was then forged under moderate temperature by using the 7.81 alloy. Results of the electrochemical analysis indicate that the Ti alloy bolt has excellent corrosion resistance.

For the study on the ion exchange of nickel hexacyanoferrate(NiHCNFe) electrode with the several cations, the film of hexacyanoferrate was prepared on the bare nickel surface by the electrochemical and chemical methods in the solution composed with 5mM K3Fe(CN)6 and 100mM KNO3. To compare the capability of the ion exchange of NiHCNFe film electrode, the repeated cyclic voltammograms were measured in the 0.5M cation nitrate solutions at $25^{\circ}C$ and pH7. It was found that the capacity of the electrochemically derivatized NiHCNFe reduced in the rate of 0.5~0.7%/cycle and was nearly exhausted at the 150th potential cycle. Better result was obtained from that the capacity loss of the chemically assembled NiHCNFe was less than 0.02%/cycle for 5,000cycles. Furthermore, the residual capacity was more than 30% at the 5,000th cycle.
