The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of acid fog on the rust formation behavior of weathering steel (SMA50) which is used in uncoated bridges. Weathering steel didn't form the passive film under the environment of acid fog(pH5,6), whereas the environment of distilled water formed the protective oxide film. Therefore, the construction of weathering steel under the environment extremely exposed to SOx and NOx which are the main compositions of acid fog is not adequate. Fatigue limits of weathering steel under acid fog environment are remarkably decreased as compared with environment of distilled water. The corrosive constituents in acid fog has piled up the corrosion products on specimen surface and generated the corrosion pits. Because of the high stress concentration arising at this corrosion pit, relatively low fatigue limits were obtained for acid fog specimens.

This paper considers corrosion problems in the bolt connection of weathering steel box girder bridge using the external electric type corrosion resistance method which resisted to local corrosion in coated steel surface with contacted air. The weathering steel was created a rust itself in the passive state. but a coated box girder type was easily dew form could be made galvanic cell that accelerated corrosion. so that it was ruled by protection coat with some paint. Therefore, it needed that can be applied the external electric type corrosion resistance method in coated surface. As a result of the test of polarization amount had measured that the weathering steel was higher currents than the general steel by about $5\~10\%$. Therefore. an external electric type corrosion resistance method can be used to protect local corrosion in the coated bolt connection of weathering steel box girders effectively.

내후성강은 자연대기환경에 대하여 무도장 상태로 사용되고, 강재표면에 도막의 역할을 하는 밀실한 녹층은 자연환경에 의해 수년간 에 걸쳐 형성되며, 그 녹 층으로 강재의 부식 진행을 억제한다. 내후성강의 녹상태는 부식환경에 의존한다. 내후성강의 유지관리측면에서 녹상태가 어느정도 인가를 판단하는 것은 중요하다. 따라서, 국내에 있는 건축용 내후성 외장재의 외관조사결과를 바탕으로, 다변량해석에 의한 부식량(녹의 상태)과 외장재 주변환경과의 상관을 분석하고자 한다. 본 논문에서, 외장재의 지리적 데이터, 기상데이터를 이용한 다변량 분석이 수행되었고, 부식 량과 환경요인에 대한 예측식이 제안되었다. 부가적으로, 제안된 부식량 예측식을 이용하여 기호지역(서울, 경기 및 충청)에 적용한 건축용 내후성강 외장재의 부식량 추이를 평가하였다.

Steel is generally not corrosion resistant to water with formation of non protective rusts on its surface. Rusts are composed of iron oxides such as $Fe_3O_4$, $\alpha-$, $\beta-$, $\gamma-$and ${\delta}-FeOOH$. However, steel, particularly weathering steel containing small amounts of Cu, Ni and Cr etc., shows good corrosion resistance against rural, industrial or marine environment. Its corrosion rate is exceedingly small as compared with that of carbon steel. According to the exposure test results undertaken in outdoor environments, the atmospheric corrosion rate for weathering steel is only 1 mm for a century. Atmospheric corrosion for steels proceeds under alternate dry and wet conditions. Dry condition is encountered on steel surface on fine or cloudy days, and wet condition is on rainy or snowy days. The reason why weathering steel shows superior atmospheric corrosion resistance is due to formation of corrosion protective rusts on its surface under very thin water layer. The protective rusts are usually composed of two layer rusts; the upper layer is ${\gamma}-FeOOH$ termed as lepidocrocite, and inner layer is nano-particle ${\alpha}-FeOOH$ termed as goethite. This paper is aimed at elucidating the atmospheric corrosion mechanism for steel in comparison with corrosion in bulky water environment by use of empirical data.The summary is as follows: 1. No corrosion protective rusts are formed on steel in bulky water. 2. Atmospheric corrosion for steel is the corrosion under wetting and drying conditions. Corrosion and passivation occur alternately on steel surface. Steel, particularly weathering steel with small amounts of alloying elements such as Cu, Ni and Cr etc. enhances forming corrosion protective rusts by passivation.

The stress corrosion cracking(SCC) and hydrogen embrittlement cracking(HEC) characteristics of a weathering steel weldment were investigated in aerated acid-chloride solution. The electrochemical properties of weldment were investigated by polarization test and galvanic corrosion test. Weathering steel did not show passive behavior in the acid-chloride solution. Galvanic corrosion between the weld metal and the base metal was not observed because the base metal was anodic to the weld metal. The slow-strain-rate tests(SSRT0 were conducted at a constant strain rate o 7.87×{TEX}$10^{-7}${/TEX}/s at corrosion potential, and at potentiostatically controlled anodic and cathodic potentials. The weldment of weathering steel was susceptible to both anodic dissolution SCC and hydrogen evolution HEC.

Basic design concept of the future steel structure requires environmental compatibility and maintenance free capability to minimize economic burdens. Recent trends in alloy design for advanced weathering steel include addition of various alloying elements which can enhance formation of stable and protective rust layer even in polluted urban and/or high $Cl^{-}$ environment. The effects of Ca, Ni, W, and Mo addition on the corrosion property of Ca-modified weathering steel were evaluated through a series of electrochemical tests (pH measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy: EIS) and structural analysis on rust layer formed on the steel surface. Ca-containing inclusions of Ca-Al-Mn-O-S compound are formed if the amount of Ca addition is over 25 ppm. Steels with higher Ca content results in higher pH value for condensed water film formed on the steel surface, however, addition of Ni, W, and Mo does not affect pH value of the thin water film. The steels containing a high amount of Ca, Ni, W and Mo showed a dense and compact rust layer with enhanced amount of ${\alpha}-FeOOH$. Addition of Ni, W and Mo in Ca-modified weathering steel shows anion-selectivity and contributes to lower the permeability of $Cl^{-}$ ions. Effect of each alloying element on the formation of protective rust layer will be discussed in detail with respect to corrosion resistance.

Corrosion of carbon and weathering steels were evaluated under 3 environmental exposures in Thailand (urban, rural and marine) for a year. The seasonal study was designed to determine different corrosion mechanisms by 6 months of dry season and 6 months of rainy season in a year. The sheltered exposure racks were used to determine the washing effect of min. At each site, climatic and pollutants analyses were carried out. The present study showed that the difference in corrosion rates of carbon and weathering steels was not so distinguished in both rural (AIT) and urban (TISTR) environments. The corrosion rate of weathering steel was somewhat lower than that of carbon steel and the decreasing tendency of corrosion rate with time was slightly higher for weathering steel than for carbon steel. In marine (Rayong) environment, the corrosion rate was higher and the effect of wet and dry seasons was observed. The corrosion rate in 6 dry months was higher for direct exposure than for sheltered exposure. However, in 6 rainy months. the corrosion rate of sheltered exposure was higher than that of direct exposure. In direct exposure for I year, that is, the first 6 dry months and the next 6 rainy months, the corrosion rate decreased with time. but in sheltered exposure, the corrosion rate did not decrease with time. instead, increased in the next 6 rainy months. This indicated that the protect ive layer formed in the first 6 dry months could be destroyed by high deposition of chloride to r sheltered exposure in the next 6 rainy months; whereas the rust layer for direct exposure could be kept sound due to washing effect in rainy season, even though the deposition rate of chloride was almost the same for direct and sheltered exposures. In marine environment, the weathering steel showed higher corrosion resistance than carbon steel but its corrosion rate was higher than those in other environments.

옥외 강구조물의 중요 소재인 무도장 내후성강의 장기 내식성을 평가하기 위해 우선 9년 이상 산업대기와 전원대기에 폭로된 본 강판 및 비교재 일반강판 시편의 천향면에 대해 중성의 인공우수에 침적시켜 전기화학적 부식전위, 임피던스 및 동전위 양분극 곡선으로 측정 및 그 결과를 고찰하였다. 산업대기 및 전원대기에 천향면으로 폭로된 내후성강 표면에는 부동태적인 안정화 녹층이 발달하였으며, 산업대기 폭로 표면의 인공우수에서의 부식속도는 $3{{\mu}m}/y$로 측정되어 우수한 내후내식 녹층으로 덮혀 있었다. 지속적으로 인공우수에 침적시키면 모든 시편 녹층은 점진적으로 열화되어 모재 철분의 양극산화용해 율속의 부식으로 진전됨을 나타내었다. 내후성 합금성분은 이런 부식의 진전을 지연시키고 있었다. 장기 내식성을 잘 평가하기 위해서는 9년보다 훨씬 장기간 대기폭로된 강재표면과 해당 대기 응축수 모사 수용액을 이용한 전기화학적 측정이 필요하다. 특히 본 측정방법들은 강재 표면의 원하는 부위와 폭로시간대에 거의 비파괴적으로 부식상황과 녹층의 상태와 정량적인 부식속도를 직접 바로 측정할 수 있게 하므로 강재를 사용한 교량, 탑, 건축물 등의 강구조물의 표면에 전기화학적 cell을 구성하고 이동측정기를 사용하면 강구조물의 내후 내식성을 현장즉시 측정 및 평가를 효과적으로 가능하게 할 수 있다.
