Crevice corrosion is localized form of corrosion usually associated with a stagnant solution on the micro-environmental level. Such stagnant micro environments tend to occur in crevices (shielded areas) such as those formed under gaskets washers insulation material. fastener heads. surface deposits. disbonded coatings. threads. lap joints and clamps. Crevice corrosion is initiated by changes in located electrochemical reaction within the crevice such as a) depletion of inhibitor in the crevice b) depletion of oxygen in the crevice c) a shift to acid conditions in the crevice and d) build-up of aggressive ion species (e.g chloride) in the crevice. In this study. the mechanism of crevice corrosion for Type 430 stainless steel is investigated undercondition that the size of specimen is $15{\times}20\{times}3mm$, in 1N $H_2SO_4$ + 0.05N NaCl solution. and the artificial crevice gap size of 3 x 0.2 x 15 mm. Crevice corrosion is measured under applied potential -300mV(SCE) to the external surface. The obtained result of this study showed that 1) the induced time for initiation of crevice is 750 seconds. 2) potential of the crevice was about from -320mV to -399mV. which is lower than that of external surface potential of -300mV It is considered that potential drop in the crevice is one of mechanisms for the crevice corrosion

The aim of this study is to investigate the initiation and propagation of crevice corrosion for ferritic stainless steel in artificial crevice based on micro capillary tube method. The 430 stainless steel in artificial crevice is potentiostatically polarized in different sodium chloride solutions. Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarization data were measured in situ. The potentials in the crevice were measured by depth profile using the 0.04 mm diameter micro capillary tube inserted in the crevice. The potentials in the crevice ranged from -220 mV to -360 mV vs SCE from opening to bottom of crevice, which are lower than the external surface potential, -200 mV vs SCE. Such a potential drop induced the change of the metal surface state from passive to active. The surface of metal is located in passive state in -200 mV but the inner surface keeps active state below -220 mV, Thus these results show that the It drop mechanism in the crevice was more objective for evaluation and the method was easier to reproduce. Therefore the potential drop is one of the reasons for crevice corrosion by measuring the potentials in narrow crevice with a new micro measuring system.

본 연구는 전기화학적 실험측정으로 페라이트계 430스테인레스강 시험편에 인위적으로 틈을 형성시켰다. 부식용액은 IN $H_2SO_4+0.1N\;NaCl$ 전해액을 사용하였고, 각 시험편의 틈의 크기를 달리하였다. 전기화학적 평가방법은 -600mV/5CE에서 정방향으로 +1,200mV/SCE까지 주사속도 600mV/hr로 동전위 분극시험을 실시하여 부식전위, 부동태 전류밀도 등의 부식거동을 분석하였다. 그리고 정전위 분극시험을 실시하여 부동태 구간 전위 -200mV/SCE를 일정하게 인가 한 후, 틈내에 부동태 전류밀도와 틈부식 발생시간을 계측하였다 실험방법에 있어 Microcapillary tube(MCT)를 이용한 방법으로 틈내 각 지점의 전위를 틈 깊이에 따른 틈내부의 전위강하(IR Drop)에 주목하고, 575 430 스테인레스강 금속에 대한 분극특성과 연계하므로써 틈부식의 발생 원인을 '전위의 이동'의 관점에서 규명 하였다.

As the results of recent industrial development, many industrial plants and marine structures are exposed to severe corrosion environment than before. Especially, under the wet environment, crevice corrosion damage problems necessarily occur and encourage many interests to prevent them. In this study, the electrochemical polarization test was carried out to study characteristics of crevice corrosion for AISI 304 stainless steel in various solution temperatures. The results are as follows ; 1) as the solution temperature increased in IN $\textrm{H}_2\textrm{SO}_4$, the passive current density and critical current density were increased, whereas corrosion potential and break down potential were nearly constant, 2) as the solution temperature increased. the induced time for initiation of crevice corrosion was shortened. 3) The potential range in the crevice was -220mV/SCE to -380mV/SCE according to the distance from the crevice opening, which is lower than that of external surface of -200mV/SCE.

최근 양어 양식장은 증가하고 있으며 이러한 곳에 사용할 가열장치는 경울 수온 조절을 위해 사용된다. 해수 가열장치는 부식성이 높고 압력이 높은 곳에 사용하기 위하여 고강도와 내식성이 요구된다. 만약 저강도와 저내식성을 갖게 되면 결국 누설 또는 파손되어 해수오염을 일으킬 수 있다. 대부분의 부식은 정체된 액과 틈이 형성된 부위에서 부식의 발생이 일어난다. 이 연구에서는 430 스테인레스재를 크기 $15{\times}20{\times}3mmt$에 대하여 1N H2SO4 + 0.05N NaCl용액을 사용하여 틈부식을 시험하였다. 틈의 크기는 $0.24{\times}3{\times}15mmL$로 하였으며 외부에 300mV전위를 인가하였다. 실험 결과 틈 부식 유기 시간은 750초로 나타나고, 틈 전위 강화는 -320에서 -399mV로 나타나 부식의 주 원인이 전위강화 기구에 의해 발생하였다.

Materials of choice for offshore structures and the marine industry have been increasingly favoring materials that offer high strength-to-weight ratios. One of the most promising families of light-weight materials is titanium alloys, but these do have two potential Achilles' heels: (i) the passive film may not form or may be unstable in low oxygen environments, leading to rapid corrosion; and (ii) titanium is a strong hydride former, making it vulnerable to hydrogen embrittlement (cracking) at high temperatures in low oxygen environments. Unfortunately, such environments exist at deep sea well-heads; temperatures can exceed $120^{\circ}C$, and oxygen levels can drop below 1 ppm. The present study demonstrates the results of investigations into the corrosion behavior of a range of titanium alloys, including newly developed alloys containing rare earth additions for refined microstructure and added strength, in artificial seawater over the temperature range of $25^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$. Tests include potentiodynamic polarization, crevice corrosion, and U-bend stress corrosion cracking.
