Anodization is an electrochemical process that electrochemically converts a metal surface into an oxide layer, resulting in enhanced corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and improved aesthetic appearance. Local anodization, also known as selective anodization, is a modified process that enables specific regions or patterns on the metal surface to undergo anodization instead of the entire surface. Several methods have been attempted to produce oxide layers via localized anodic oxidation, such as using a mask or pre-patterned substrate. However, these methods are often intricate, time-consuming, and costly. Conversely, the direct writing or patterning approach is a more straightforward and efficient way to fabricate the oxide layers. This review paper intends to enhance our comprehension of local anodization and its potential applications in various fields, including the development of nanotechnologies. The application of anodization is promising in surface engineering, where the anodic oxide layer serves as a protective coating for metals or modifies the surface properties of materials. Furthermore, anodic oxidation can create micro- and nano-scale patterns on metal surfaces. Overall, the development of efficient and cost-effective anodic oxidation methods is essential for the advancement of various industries and technologies.

The capacity of passive metal to repassivate after film damage determines the development of local corrosion and the resistance to corrosion failures. In this work, the repassivation kinetics of 316L stainless steel (316L SS) was investigated in borate buffer solution (pH 9.1) using a novel abrading electrode technique. The repassivation kinetics was analyzed in terms of the current density flowing from freshly bare 316L SS surface as measured by a potentiostatic method. During the early phase of decay (t < 2 s), according to the Avrami kinetics-based film growth model, the transient current was separated into anodic dissolution ($i_{diss}$) and film formation ($i_{film}$) components and analyzed individually. The film reformation rate and thickness were compared according to applied potential. Anodic dissolution initially dominated the repassivation for a short time, and the amount of dissolution increased with increasing applied potential in the passive region. Film growth at higher potentials occurred more rapidly compared to at lower potentials. Increasing the applied potential from 0 $V_{SCE}$ to 0.8 $V_{SCE}$ resulted in a thicker passive film (0.12 to 0.52 nm). If the oxide monolayer covered the entire bare surface (${\theta}=1$), the electric field strength through the thin passive film reached $1.6{\times}10^7V/cm$.

Local wall thinning and integrity degradation caused by several mechanisms, such as flow accelerated corrosion (FAC), cavitation, flashing and/or liquid drop impingements, are a main concern in carbon steel piping systems of nuclear power plant in terms of safety and operability. Thinned pipe management program (TPMP) had been developed and optimized to reduce the possibility of unplanned shutdown and/or power reduction due to pipe failure caused by wall thinning in the secondary side piping system. This program also consists of several technical elements such as prediction of wear rate for each component, prioritization of components for inspection, thickness measurement, calculation of actual wear and wear rate for each component. Decision making is associated with replacement or continuous service for thinned pipe components. Establishment of long-term strategy based on diagnosis of plant condition regarding overall wall thinning is also essential part of the program. Prediction models of wall thinning caused by FAC had been established for 24 operating nuclear plants. Long term strategies to manage the thinned pipe component were prepared and applied to each unit, which was reflecting plant specific design, operation, and inspection history, so that the structural integrity of piping system can be maintained. An alternative integrity assessment criterion and a computer program for thinned piping items were developed for the first time in the world, which was directly applicable to the secondary piping system of nuclear power plant. The thinned pipe management program is applied to all domestic nuclear power plants as a standard procedure form so that it contributes to preventing an accident caused by FAC.

본 연구는 PSC(Post Tensioned Concrete) 교량 및 사장교(Cable Stayed Bridge) 등에 많이 적용되는 강연선의 국부적 손상에 따른 응력 회복길이를 분석하였다. 강연선은 PC 강선(Prestressing Strand)을 여러 줄을 꼬은 강재이며, 재료의 특성상 준공후 지속적으로 손상이 발생하며 부식 등이 주요 손상원인이다. 이에 따른 손상에 따른 성능저하가 발생하지만, 구조적인 특성상 케이블 내부의 손상 정도 및 응력 변화 패턴을 파악하기 어렵다. 교량에 적용된 케이블의 경우 설치 형상에 따라 채수 등에 따라 부식에 취약한 부분이 발생하며, 이로 인해 국부적인 손상이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구는 교량 Post-Tensioning 또는 케이블 사장재에 주로 적용되는 강연선(7-Wire Strand)의 국부적 손상에 따른 성능저하 경향 및 응력 회복길이를 FEA 해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 향후 본 연구에서 구축하고자 하는 해석모델을 활용하여 PSC 교량 및 사장교 케이블 등의 안전성 평가 및 잔존수명 예측에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The continuous grading method of pyrophyllite particles was adopted to prepare the refractories for ladle. The optimum conditions of fabrication adjusting the binders, the amount of water, the forming pressure and the firing temperature were investigated. The various properties, such as strength, density, porosity, thermal shock, corrosion resistance to slag were measured and compared with properties of ladle bricks presently used at local steel plants. The specimen studied in the present investigation showed a rather superior properties to theconventional product available locally.

본 연구의 목적은 국부감육이 일어나고 있는 위치들을 분석하고, 그와 관련된 난류매개변수를 밝혀내는데 있다. 축소 제작된 배관계 티부분에서의 실험과 수치해석이 이루어졌으며, 실제로 배관계 부품내에서의 유동특성을 유추하기 위하여 그 결과들이 비교 검토되었다. 국부감육율과 난류 매개변수간의 상관관계를 결정하기 위하여 급수가열기 주 배관에서의 티 부품에 대한 수치해석이 수행되었고, 실제적인 국부감육 발생 위치를 찾아내기 위해 알칼리 금속염을 사용하여 감육 유로가시화 실험을 수행하였으며, 이를 기초로 한 난류매개 변수와 국부감육의 두께가 비교 분석되었다. 이러한 결과 값 비교를 통하여 얻어낸 바로는 기하학적 형태에 기인하는 배관 벽면에서의 박리로 인한 반경 방향 유속 Vr이 국부 감육 현상과 가장 연관성이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Failure assessment of steam generator tube are very important for the integrity of energy plants. In pipes of energy plants, sometimes, the local wall thinning may result from severe erosion-corrosion damage. Recently, the effects of local wall thinning on fracture strength and fracture behavior of piping system have been well studied. In this paper, the elasto-plastic analysis is performed by FE code ANSIS on steam generator tube with wall thinning. We evaluated the failure mode, fracture strength and fracture behavior from FE analysis. It was possible to predict the crack initiation point by estimating true fracture ductility under multi-axial stress conditions at the center of the thinned area.

The morphology and composition of anodic films, formed on aluminium at various current densities, in the range $1-100{\;}Am^{-2}$, in the molten bisulphate melt at different temperatures (418-498K), have been studied using transmission electron microscopy of ultramicrotomed film sections, and ion beam thinned films. The first sign of incipient breakdown revealed by transmission electron microscopy of stripped films, is always the appearance of dark regions about 1,000 nm in diameter, representing local overgrowth of the film. The breakdown mechanism is closely related to thermal effects, because temperature rises at regions representing local overgrowth in the stripped films were observed at voltages close to the breakdown voltage, likely arising through impact ionization.

본 논문에서는 생애주기동안 발생하는 부식이나 일평균교통량 및 중차량의 통행량와 같은 사용환경에 의존하는 강교의 생애신뢰성에 기초한 생애주기비용(Life-Cycle Cost: 이하 LCC) 최적설계 방법론을 제안하였다. 강교 최적설계를 위한 LCC는 초기비용, 생애주기 기대유지관리비용, 생애주기 기대직접복구비용과 인적 혹은 물적손실비용, 도로이용자비용, 그리고 사회-경제 손실비용을 포함하는 간접복구비용을 현재가치의 합으로 정식화하였다. 이러한 LCC비용항목 중에서 생애주기 복구비용의 산정을 위해서는 하중과 저항이력에 의존하는 누적손확률로부터 산정되는 연파손확률이 고려되어야한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 Nowak의 활하중 모델(1993)과 부식개시, 부식률, 그리고 재도장영향을 고려한 수정된 부식모델을 제안하였다. 이와같이 본 연구에서 제안된 LCC 최적설계 방법론은 3 경간연속(40m+50m+40m= 130m)의 실제 강박스거더교에 적용되었고, 사용환경에 대한 LCC의 효율성에 대해 비교 고찰하였다. 적용예를 통해 부식환경, 일평균교통량, 그리고 중차량의 통행량는 강교 LCC최적설계에 매우 중요한 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 이러한 교량의 사용환경인자들은 경우에 따라 LCC 최적설계에 대한 주요 변수로 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
