Galvanic coupling between GECM(graphite epoxy composite material) and metallic materials can facilitate corrosion of metals and alloys because GECM is noble and electrically conductive. Galvanic corrosion is affected by many factors including metallic materials, area ratio, surface condition, and corrosivity. This work aims to evaluate the effect of area ratio on galvanic corrosion between GECM and several metals. In the case of glavanic coupling of carbon steel and Al to GECM, corrosion rate increased with increasing area ratio. Corrosion rate of sensitized STS 316S stainless steel decreased a little at an area ratio 1:1 but increased at an area ratio 30:1. It is considered to be due to that area ratio affects galvanic corrosion more in less corrosion resistant alloys. However, in case of STS 316 and Ti, galvanic coupling reduces corrosion rate by the formation of passive film.

The effect of pH on the corrosion characteristics in the dissimilar friction welded zone of IN713LC-SCM440 in the loaded torsional stress was studied. The corrosion experiment was performed for 120 hours on the specimens with five steps of pH. The surface corrosion pattern of the SCM440 area showed global corrosion and narrow pitting, which was caused by galvanic corrosion between friction welded IN713LC and SCM440, but corrosion did not proceeded from the IN713LC area. The average relative electrode potential gradually tends to decrease with the elapse of the immersion time in the acidity area. The average corrosion current also gradually tend to decrease The corrosion rate showed a larger value when the average relative electrode potential was higher and the average relative current was lower. The corrosion rate showed a larger value when the average relative electrode potential was higher in the acidity area, and it showed large when the average relative electrode potential was lower in the alkalinity area.

Under the long-term effect of corrosive environment, many cold-formed steel (CFS) structures have serious corrosion problems. Corrosion leads to the change of surface morphology and the loss of section thickness, which results in the change of instability mode and failure mechanism of CFS structure. This paper mainly investigates the elastic local buckling behavior of corroded CFS columns. The surface morphology scanning test was carried out for eight CFS columns accelerated corrosion by the outdoor periodic spray test. The thin shell finite element (FE) eigen-buckling analysis was also carried out to reveal the influence of corrosion surface characteristics, corrosion depth, corrosion location and corrosion area on the elastic local buckling behaviour of the plates with four simply supported edges. The accuracy of the proposed formulas for calculating the elastic local buckling stress of the corroded plates and columns was assessed through extensive parameter studies. The results indicated that for the plates considering corrosion surface characteristics, the maximum deformation area of local buckling was located at the plates with the minimum average section area. For the plates with localized corrosion, the main buckling shape of the plates changed from one half-wave to two half-wave with the increase in corrosion area length. The elastic local buckling stress decreased gradually with the increase in corrosion area width and length. In addition, the elastic local buckling stress decreased slowly when corrosion area thickness was relatively large, and then tends to accelerate with the reduction in corrosion area thickness. The distance from the corrosion area to the transverse and longitudinal centerline of the plate had little effect on the elastic local buckling stress. Finally, the calculation formula of the elastic local buckling stress of the corroded plates and CFS columns was proposed.

Titanium재료는 해수에서 좋은 내식성을 가지는 이유로 최근 원자력발전소 복수기에 사용되고 있다. 그러나, Ti이 tubesheet재 료인 Cu 합금에 접하고 이것이 water box 재료인 탄소강에 접하게될 경우 접촉금속에 심한 galvanic corrosion이 일어나게 된다. 전기화학적 실험에 의하면, 탄소강이 해수속에서 Ti나 Cu에 접할 때 탄소강의 부식속도는 증가할 것이며, Cu가 Ti에 해수중에서 장기간 접촉할 경우에는 Cu의 부식속도는 증가할 것으로 생각된다, 또한 표면적비, R$_1$(surface area of carbon steel/surface area of Ti).와 R$_2$(surface area of carbon steel/surface area of Cu)가 탄소강의 galvanic corrosion에 매우 중요하며. Water box 재료인 탄소강의 부식속도를 최소화하기 위해서는 이들 표면적비가 낮게 유지되어서는 안될 것이라고 생각된다 침지 galvanic 부식 시험결과 surface area of Fe/surface area of Al Brass값이 1일때 탄소강의 부식속도는 4.4mpy 이었으나 이 비가 $10^{-2}$ 일때는 570mpy이었다. 이렇게 연결된 galvanic시편에 Ti tube를 연결한 경우에는 이 비가 1일때 탄소강의 부식율이 4.4mpy에서 13mpy로 증가하였다. 이는 R$_1$가 R$_2$가 분극곡선에 복합적인 영향을 미치는것으로 설명할 수 있다.

In corrosion-sensitive area of exsisting unpainted weathering steel bridge with closed box girder structure. there are some serious local corrosion problems because of rain water or dew water which can not be solved by conventional maintenance method. These problems must be technically controled because of the influence on the safety of bridge. This study is the first stage of developing the economic corrosion control manual for these local corrosion problems. Through the injecting experiment of tar sealant into the crevice of mock-up equipment, it was proofed that the corrosive sealant can be useful to corrosion control at crevice of corrosion sensitive area.

This work studied the corrosion behavior of AZ31 Mg alloy galvanically coupled with Cu during immersion in 0.1 and 0.5 M NaCl solutions by in-situ observation and galvanic corrosion current measurement using a zero resistance ammeter. The corrosion behavior of AZ31 Mg alloy was also studied by salt spray test. The average galvanic corrosion density during 2 h immersion in 0.1 NaCl solution was found to decrease as an exponential function with increasing the surface area ratios between AZ31:Cu or with increasing the distance between AZ31 and Cu. The corrosion of electrodeposited Cu on AZ31 Mg alloy was concentrated at the area next to Cu (about 5 mm for immersion test and 2 mm for salt spray test) and pitting corrosion was accelerated at the area beyond the severely corroded area by the galvanic coupling effect.

Corrosion of metallic materials occurs by the reaction with corrosive environment. In general, corrosive environments are classified as atmospheric, marine, soil etc. and regardless of any corrosive environments, reduction of thickness and cracking and degradation are induced by corrosion. Among several corrosive environments, knowing the atmospheric corrosiveness of a region, city, or country is considered of ultimate importance for major industrialists and investors who require knowledge of the corrosive impact of the atmosphere on everyday materials such as carbon steel, weathering steel, zinc, copper, and aluminium. This is why the atmospheric corrosiveness map is needed. This paper dealt with corrosion properties between several waters in the region and carbon steel, weathering steel, galvanized steel, pure copper, and pure aluminium at the representative rural area of Korea - Andong.
