Effects of PbO on the repassivation kinetics and characteristics of passive film of Alloy 690 were examined to elucidate the influences of PbO on the SCC resistance of that alloy. The repassivation kinetics of the alloy was analyzed in terms of the current density flowing from the scratch, i(t), as a function of the charge density that has flowed from the scratch, q(t). Repassivation on the scratched surface of the alloy occurred in two kinetically different processes; passive film initially nucleated and grew according to the place exchange model in which log i(t) is linearly proportional to q(t), and then grew according to the high field ion conduction model in which log i(t) is linearly proportional to 1/q(t) with a slope of cBV. The cBV is found to be a parameter representing repassivation rate and hence SCC susceptibility of the alloy. The lower the value of cBV, the faster the repassivation rate and the higher the SCC resistance of an alloy. Addition of PbO to pH 4 and 10 solutions increased the value of cBV of alloy 690, reflecting slower repassivation rate than without PbO. The change in the value of cBV was grater in pH 10 than in pH 4. The increase in SCC susceptibility of alloy 690 with the addition of PbO to solution was presumably due to the Cr-depletion in the outer parts of passive film of the alloy with an incorporation of Pb compounds in the film, which was revealed by Mott-Schottky, AES and XPS analyses.

Crevice corrosion is the accelerated attack occurred in the occluded cell under a crevice on the metal surface. Crevice corrosion behaviors of nickel-based alloys such as Alloy 600 and Alloy 690 were investigated in acidic solution with different chloride ion concentrations. Tests were carried out using the specially designed crevice cell with a very narrow Luggin capillary assembly to measure the potential inside the crevice. It is believed that crevice corrosion in active/passive system like nickel-based alloys has much to do with the properties of passive film and its repassivation characteristics, investigated by the capacitance measurement and by the abrading electrode technique, respectively. An attempt was made to elucidate the relationship between crevice corrosion behaviors, properties of passive film and its repassivation kinetics. Results showed that repassivation rate parameter $n1{\leq}0.6$ and/or $n2{\leq}0.5$ indicated the possible occurrence of crevice corrosion.

마멸전극기법과 교류 임피던스법으로 스테인리스강의 합금원소, Cr, Mo, N가 합금의 재부동태 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Fe-Cr, Fe-Cr-Mo, 304, 304LN, 316, 316LN등의 스테인리스강을 시편으로 사용하였으며 각 합금의 부동태 피막의 전기화학적 특성은 in-situ시험 기법인 d.c와 a.c전기화학적 기법을 각각 이용하였다 스테인리스강이 국부부식에 대하여 강한 저항성을 가지려면 부식 환경에서도 치밀한 부동태 피막을 유지해야 하고 피막의 파괴가 발생하더라도 재부동태 속도가 빨라야 하기 때문에 합금원소가 시간에 따른 재부동태 전류밀도와 재부동태 속도에 미치는 영향을 마멸 전극 시험법과 교류 임피던스 시험법으로 알아보았다. 부동태 피막의 안정성, 재부동태 속도 그리고 합금원소 사이의 관계를 규명하기 위하여 실험결과를 분석하였다.

KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has developed a repassivation rate test system which can be operated at $300^{\circ}C$. It consists of an autoclave, three electrodes for an electrochemical test and a diamond scratch tip. All the electrodes are electrically insulated from the autoclave by using high temperature fittings. Reproducible repassivation curves of alloy 600 at 300 C were obtained. Repassivation rate of alloy 600 at pH 13 was slower than that of pH 10. Stress corrosion cracking test was carried as a function of the pH at a high temperature. At pH 10, alloy 600 showed a severe stress corrosion cracking(SCC), whereas it did not show a SCC at pH 7. From the viewpoint of a relationship between the current density and the charge density, a big difference was observed in the two solutions; the slope of pH 13 was steeper than that of pH 10. So the stress corrosion susceptibility at pH 13 seems to be higher than that of pH 10. The system would be a good tool to evaluate the SCC susceptibility of alloy 600 at a high temperature.

The capacity of passive metal to repassivate after film damage determines the development of local corrosion and the resistance to corrosion failures. In this work, the repassivation kinetics of 316L stainless steel (316L SS) was investigated in borate buffer solution (pH 9.1) using a novel abrading electrode technique. The repassivation kinetics was analyzed in terms of the current density flowing from freshly bare 316L SS surface as measured by a potentiostatic method. During the early phase of decay (t < 2 s), according to the Avrami kinetics-based film growth model, the transient current was separated into anodic dissolution ($i_{diss}$) and film formation ($i_{film}$) components and analyzed individually. The film reformation rate and thickness were compared according to applied potential. Anodic dissolution initially dominated the repassivation for a short time, and the amount of dissolution increased with increasing applied potential in the passive region. Film growth at higher potentials occurred more rapidly compared to at lower potentials. Increasing the applied potential from 0 $V_{SCE}$ to 0.8 $V_{SCE}$ resulted in a thicker passive film (0.12 to 0.52 nm). If the oxide monolayer covered the entire bare surface (${\theta}=1$), the electric field strength through the thin passive film reached $1.6{\times}10^7V/cm$.

탈기된 0.1 M $Na_2SO_4$ 수용액에서 Fe-Cr강의 재부동태 특성을 Cr함량, 인가전위 그리고 염소이온의 농도를 변화시키면서 관찰하였다. 염소이온이 없는 경우 재부동태 속도를 나타내는 식 log i=k-n log t에서 -n값은 Cr함량에 관계없이 -1에 수렴하였으나 Cr함량이 증가할수록 재부동태 전류밀도는 낮아졌다. A. C. impedance spectroscopy측정 결과, Cr 함량과 인가전위가 증가할수록 형성된 재부동태 피막의 charge transfer resistance$(R_{ct})$ 값은 상승하였다. 또한 재부동태 동안 흐르는 전류밀도를 Faraday식을 이용하여 피막의 두께를 계산해보면 Cr함량이 증가할수록 얇은 부동태 피막이 형성된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 염소이온이 존재하는 경우, 염소이온이 Fe-Cr강의 재부동태를 방해하는 효과는 인가전위가 증가할수록 상승하였다.

The surface characteristics of nitrogen ion implanted iron aluminides were investigated using various electrochemical methods in $H_2$$SO_4$+KSCN and HCl solutions. Nitrogen ion implantation was performed with doses of $3.0$\times$10^{17}$ /ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an energy of 150keV. Nitrogen ion implanted iron aluminides increased the corrosion potential and significantly decreased grain boundary activation, the active current density, and passive current density. Nitrogen implanted iron aluminides with Mo increased the corrosion, pitting potential, repassivation potential and │$E_{pit}$-$E_{corr}$│ value. Whereas, implanted iron aluminides containing boron reduced the pitting and repassivation potential in comparison with nitrogen implanted iron aluminides with Cr and Mo.o.

High nitrogen-bearing stainless steel (HNS) containing more than Imass% N was successfully created by means of pressurized electro-slag remelting (P-ESR) without the addition of manganese. Excellent localized corrosion resistant properties of the HNS were confirmed in terms of pitting and crevice corrosion in artificial seawater. The repassivation kinetics proved higher repassivation rate for HNS.

Additively manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V alloys exhibit a dominant acicular martensite phase (α'), which is characterized by an unstable energy state and highly localized corrosion susceptibility. Electrochemical critical localized corrosion temperature (E-CLCT, ISO 22910: 2020) and electrochemical critical localized corrosion potential (E-CLCP, ISO AWI 4631: 2021) were measured to analyze the localized corrosion resistance of the AM Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Although E-CLCP was measured under mild corrosive conditions such as human body, the validity of evaluating localized corrosion resistance of AM titanium alloys was demonstrated by comparison with E-CLCT. However, the mechanisms of resistance to localized corrosion on the as-received and heat-treated AM Ti-6Al-4V alloys under E-CLCT and E-CLCP differ at various temperatures because of differences in properties under localized corrosion and repassivation. The E-CLCT is mainly measured for initiation of localized corrosion on the AM titanium alloys based on temperature, whereas the E-CLCP yields repassivation potential of re-generated passive films of AM titanium alloys after breaking down.
