The purpose of this study was to observe characteristic properties through the polarization curves and SEM images from 4 different types of amalgam obtained by using the potentiostats (Princeton EG & G) & SEM (Jeol/35), and to investigate the degree of corrosion on the oxidation peak of the each phase of amalgam. After each amalgam alloy and Hg was triturated as the direction of the manufacturer by means of the mechanical amalgamator (Shofu Co.), the triturated mass was inserted into the cylindrical metal mold which was 12mm in diameter and 10.0mm in height and was condensed by using routine manner. The specimen was removed from the mold and stored at room temperature for about 24 hours. The standard surface preparation was routinely carried out. Anodic polarization measurement was employed to confirm the corrosion behaviour of the amalgams in a 0.9% saline solution (P.H: 6.8-7.0) at $37^{\circ}C$. The initial rest potential (corrosion potential) was determined after 30 minutes of immersion of specimen in electrolyte, and the potential scan was begun at the point of 100mV cathodic from the corrosion potential. The scan rate was 0.17mV/sec. in the study to observe the degree of corrosion of each phase. SEI and EPMA images on the determined oxidation peaks of each amalgam were observed. The results were as follows: 1. In the four anodic polarization curves, low copper amalgams have three oxidation peaks and high copper amalgams have two oxidation peaks, -270mV, +26mV and +179mV(SEC) in the low copper lathe cut, and -300mV, +39mV and +163mV(SEC) in the low copper spherical. -4mV and +154mV(SEC) in the Dispersalloy, and +17mV and +180mV(SEC) in the Tytin as high copper amalgams. 2. ${\gamma}_2$ phase in the low copper amalgam and ${\eta}$ phase in the high copper amalgam were the most corrodible phases and Ag-Cu eutectic in high copper amalgam was the most slowly corroded phase. 3. Low copper amalgam was more susceptible in corrosion than high copper amalgam.

용존수소와 과산화수소의 전기화학 거동을 백금 디스크 전극을 사용하여 정전위 분극법으로 $25^{\circ}C$와 $200^{\circ}C$붕산수용액에서 측정하였다. $25^{\circ}C$에서 용존수소의 산화반응은 전극표면에서의 전자전달속도에 의존하는 반응속도론적 지배반응이었다. 그러나 온도가 올라감에 따라 용존수소의 전기화학 거동은 반응속도론적 지배반응에서 확산지배반응으로 변하였다. 고온 용존수소 조건에서 한 가지 주목할 만한 사실은 물의 산화가 시작되는 직전 전위에서 용존수소의 산화반응이 급격히 줄어드는 특이한 전위영역이 관찰되었다는 점이다. 이 현상은 백금 전극표면에 수산화이온의 흡착에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 반면에 과산화수소의 경우. 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 확산계수로 인한 전류밀도의 증가를 제외하고는 온도에 따른 전극반응의 명백한 변화는 보이지 않았다.
