  • Taiwan has a typical marine climate featuring perennial high-temperature and dampness. This climate, together with the emission of various industrial corrosive waste gases in recent years, contributes a lot to the corrosion of metal materials. In this study, samples of carbon steel exposed to various atmospheres in Taiwan were analyzed to investigate the impacts of atmospheric factors on carbon steel corrosion. Carbon steel samples were collected from 87 experimental stations between 2009 and 2012. Statistical analysis was employed to investigate the correlations between the carbon steel corrosion situations and the atmospheric factors such as concentrations of sulfur dioxide or chloride, exposure time, rainfall, etc. The results indicate that for samples from industrial areas, the sulfur dioxide concentration and exposure time during fall and winter are significantly correlated to the condition of the carbon steel corrosion. However, for samples from coastal zones, the significant correlated factors are chloride concentration and wetting time during winter. The results of this study are useful for the development of carbon steel corrosion prediction models.

  • 역삼투식 해수담수화 (Sea Water Reverse Osmosis, SWRO) 공정에 의한 생산수는 pH가 낮고, 해수 내 존재하는 경도성분인 Ca, Mg 이온이 대부분 제거되기 때문에 상대적으로 매우 강한 부식성을 지니고 있다. 이를 음용수 및 공업용수로 이용 시 설비 및 배관계통에 심각한 부식문제를 유발할 수 있으며, 이를 방지하기 위한 처리공정과 부식성 제어 기술의 지속적인 개발이 요구되는 실정이다. SWRO 1단으로 처리 시 생산수의 전기전도도는 $150{\mu}S/cm$ 정도의 범위를 보이며, 2단 SWRO 과정을 거칠 시 전기전도도는 $100{\mu}S/cm$ 이하의 범위를 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 SWRO 2단 처리수를 가정한 $20{\mu}S/cm{\sim}25{\mu}S/cm$ 범위의 전기전도도를 지닌 물을 실험 원수로 사용하여, 기존 방식제의 성분과 생산수의 특성을 고려한 효율적인 알칼리성 수처리제를 적용하고 그에 대한 부식성 제어 연구를 수행하였다. SWRO 생산수를 대상으로 부식방지기술을 개발하기 위해서는 부식제어와 관련된 수질 인자인 pH, 칼슘경도, 알칼리도의 조절과 LSI(Langelier Saturation Index)를 설정하는 것이 무엇보다도 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 해수담수화 공정의 생산수를 음용수 및 공업용수로 이용하기 위한 목표 수질을 pH 7.5~7.8, LSI 0 이상, 부가적으로 전기전도도는 $250{\mu}S/cm$ 이하로 설정하였으며, 연구목표 수질을 달성할 수 있는 부식억제제 및 알칼리성 수처리제의 적용을 통해 목표 수질에 대한 설정 근거를 마련하고자 하였다.

  • Due to tightened environmental regulations on halogen type flame retardants, the portions of those based on phosphorous compounds that are non-halogen type is rising. When producing functional film, the physical and thermal properties become distinctly different depending on the amount of Red-phosphorus(RP) addition which causes flame resistance. The physical properties of resin fall in big scale when too much flame retardants are added, and it is hard to be applied to functional films such as shrink or anticorrosive film. The purpose of this research is to study the effects on mechanical, physical, and other properties of RP-LDPE films by changing the RP-MB contents. The LDPE film used for this study was produced through blow-type injection molding. The flame resistance was VTM-0, and the tear resistance showed inverse trends of MD and TD. Contraction percentage showed no relationship with the amount of RP content, but the anti-corrosive property showed 0.05 % better result than the national anti-corrosion shrink film reliability standard.

  • Corrosion of metallic materials occurs by the reaction with corrosive environment such as atmosphere, marine, soil, urban, high temperature etc. In general, reduction of thickness and cracking and degradation are resulted from corrosion. Corrosion in all industrial facilities and infrastructure causes large economic losses as well as a large number of accidents. Economic loss by corrosion has been reported to be nearly 1-6% of GNP or GDP. In order to reduce corrosion damage of industrial facilities, corrosion map as well as a systematic investigation of the loss of corrosion in each industrial sector is needed. The Corrosion Science Society of Korea in collaboration with 15 universities and institutes has started to survey on the cost of corrosion and corrosion map of Korea since 2005. This work presents the results of the survey on cost of corrosion by Uhlig, Hoar, and input-output methods, and the evaluation of atmospheric corrosion rate of carbon steel, weathering steel, galvanized steel, copper, and aluminum in Korea. The total corrosion cost was estimated in terms of the percentage of the GDP of industry sectors and the total GDP of Korea. According to the result of Input/output method, corrosion cost of Korea was calculated as 2.9% to GDP (2005). Time of wetness was shown to be categories 3 to 4 in all exposure areas. A definite seasonal difference was observed in Korea. In summer and fall, time of wetness was higher than in other seasons. Because of short exposure period (12 months), significant corrosion trends depending upon materials and exposure corrosion environments were not revealed even though increased mass loss and decreased corrosion rate by exposure time.
