The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of $Ca(OH)_2$ and $CO_2$ additions on the corrosion of metal coupons(ductile iron, galvanized steel, copper and stainless steel). Corrosion rate and released metal ion concentration of ductile iron and galvanized steel decreased by adjusting alkalinity, calcium hardness and pH with $Ca(OH)_2$ & $CO_2$ additions on copper and stainless steel were less than those on ductile iron and galvanized steel. When ductile iron coupon was exposed to water treated with Ca(OH)$_2$&$CO_2$, additions, the main components of corrosion product formed on its surface were $CaCO_3$ and $Fe_2 O_3 or Fe_2 O_4$ which often reduce the corrosion rate by prohibiting oxygen transport to the metal surface.

Corrosion has been around for all of recorded history. Cathodic protection is the electrical solution to the corrosion problem. Corrosion is not exactly a new topic. It has been around since the beginning of time. Corrosion is simply the loss of material resulting from current leaving a metal, following through a medium, and returning to the metal at a different point. Corrosion takes many forms and has various names, such as oxidation, rust, chemical, and bacteria action. Regardless of the agent, all corrosion is the result of electrical current flow. Various methods are used to treat corrosion or to try to prevent ti. Some of these include chemical treatment. coatings, and electrical current. Especially, proper impressed current can stop corrosive action on the protected surface. In this article, we introduce the Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) Control and monitoring system developed by ourselves. The ICCP system is composed of a power supply, anode, reference electrode and controller. The main issue is to control the current flow on the desired value such that it is possible to force a metal to be more negative(cathodic) than the natural state. From the this process, we can achieve the cathodic protection. Of course, in the developed system, the necessary functions are possessed, such as remote control, monitoring of system fault detection etc. Some experimental results show the system performance and usefulness.

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) was suspected in a corrosion failure of cooling system of stainless piping welded joint, carrying marine water. Marine water which is used for cooling water in a plant was transferred to the laboratory and used for experiment. In the first experiment, weld metal samples were exposed to the test solution for 56 days (marine water and sterilized marine water (control)). Surface condition of experimental coupons was observed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). In another experiment, free corrosion potential of these material was monitored for 56 days. Pitting corrosion was found in the coupons exposed to marine water. Free corrosion potential ennoblement was found to be significant compared to control. It was suspected that this corrosion case was MIC. In the second experiment, coupons were exposed to diluted nutrient medium containing single culture of microbes isolated from the MIC causing marine water sample used for the first experiment. After exposure test, surface condition of experimental coupon was observed using SEM. Pitting corrosion was found in coupons exposed to some of the isolates. The results indicate that they contribute to the corrosive effect of the SUS316L welds.

This paper reports the results of an experimental program involving several small-scale columns which were constructed to simulate corrosion damage in the field using two accelerated corrosion techniques namely, constant voltage and constant current. A total of six columns were cast for this experiment. For one pair of regular RC columns, corrosion was accelerated using constant voltage and for another pair, corrosion was accelerated using constant current. The remaining pair of regular RC columns was used as control. In the experiment, all the columns were subjected to cyclic wetting and drying using sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The currents were monitored on an hourly interval and cracks were visually checked throughout the test program. After the specimens had suffered sufficient percentage steel loss, all the columns including the control were tested to failure in compression. The test results generated show that accelerated corrosion using impressed constant current produces more corrosion damage than that using constant voltage. The results suggest that the constant current approach can be better used to simulate corrosion damage of reinforced concrete structures and to assess the effectiveness of various materials, repair strategies and admixtures to resist corrosion damage.

This investigation is to make comparative evaluation of the corrosion inhibiting effects of quinoline, oxine and 7-nitroso 8-hydroxy quinoline (7NHQ). In case of quinoline, and oxine, since the N atom in them functions as cation, the process involved is assumed to be cathode control. On the other hand 7-NHQ was found to form a stable chelate compound with $Fe^{++}$ ion in acidic solution and shows as anode control predominantly. After plotting polarization curves, Tafel parameters were calculated in each solution involving the inhibitors, at the same time corrosion inhibiting effects were separately measured and compared from data of both corrosion current and analytical method.

Recently, with theraped advancement in th oceanology such an ocean-going vessel and oceanic structures, there is a need to study the cavitation erosion-corrosion control of pump impeller, the partial element of ocean machinery, for more effective operation. Especially, the cathodic protection (impressed current method & Al-sacrificial anode method) was applied to sea water, and Cu-alloy material mixed Zn & Al was used as a control method of cavitation erosion-corrosion.

Recently, with rapid development in marine and shipbuilding industries such as marine structures, ships and chemical plants for ship, there occurs much interest in the study on corrosion characteristics played an important role in mechanical design. This paper was studies on the corrosion characteristics of chromium plating in the marine environment. Under the various specific resistance, the electrochemical polarization test of chromium plating was carried out. And thus corrosion potential, polarization resistance, corrosion current density, control efficiency of corrosion and polarization control behavior of chromium plating are investigated. The main results are as the followed : 1. The polarization resistance of Cr plating and Ni become higher than that of base metal, also and these material become low with decrease of the specific resistance. 2. As the specific resistance decreases, the corrosion current density of Cr and Ni plating is lower than that of base metal. 3. The corrosion reaction of Cr plating, Ni plating and base metal vs. specific resistance is cathodic control.
