Components of zinc-air battery and their problems are explained. Energy density of zinc air battery is superior to other commercial ones including Li-ion batteries. Cycle life of the zinc air batteries is poor because of irreversible redox reactions on both electrodes. In order to improve the performance of the zinc air battery, catalysts, passivation, and the new structure of electrodes should be developed to optimize several reactions in an electrode. Multidisciplinary efforts, such as mechanics, corrosion science, composite materials are necessary from the beginning of the research to obtain a meaningful product.

Although there are various factors that threaten the security of ships, one of the most harmful is corrosion. It is not easy to find corroding areas and the status of corrosion, even though corrosion causes serious problems such as submergence and marine pollution as a result of leaking oil and polluted water. To monitor the corrosion of ships, non-destructive inspection, weight loss coupons, electrical resistance, linear polarization resistance, zero resistance ammeter, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have been developed. However, these methods require much time to detect corrosion, and most are not appropriate for real time monitoring. Coating, sacrificial anode, and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) methods have been developed to control corrosion. The ICCP and sacrificial anode methods are the most popular ways to prevent ship corrosion. However, ICCP is only appropriate for the outside of a ship and cannot be used for complex structures such as ballast tanks because these are composed of many separate chambers. Sacrificial anodes have to be replaced periodically. This paper proposes an integrated corrosion monitoring and control system (ICMCS) that can detect corrosion in real time and is appropriate for complex structures such as ballast tanks. Because the system uses titanium for an anode, exhausted anodes do not need to be replaced.

해양구조물은 점점 대형화되어 가고 있는 추세에 있으며 또한 이들 구조물의 대형화에 따른 구조물의 보수, 유지관리가 매우 중요한 사안으로 등장하게 되었다. 뿐만 아니라, 이러한 구조물 등이 손상또는 파괴되었을 경우는 그에 따른 인적, 경제적 손실 또한 막대할 것으로 사료되며 이러한 구조물의 파괴사례중 상당 부분이 용접부의 부식문제 및 수소취화와 관련된 사고인것으로 보고되고 있다. 한편 용접은 급속가열, 급속냉각의 공적으로 인한 경도와 열적, 조직적 변화를 일으켜 용접부 각 미세부위별 전위차가 발생하게 되며, 이로 인해 갈바낙부실을 일으키는 것으로 보고 있다. 그리고 갈바닉 부식에 의한 용접부의 부식성을 억제하기 위해 용접후열처리(post weld heat treatment PWHT)를 시행하여 내식성을 향상시키는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서는 고장력강인 RE36강 시험편을 전기화학적 측면에서 최적의 용접후열처리 온도를 규명하였으며, 용접방법(FCAW, SMAW), 용접후 열처리 유무에 따른 용접부위의 저변형을 인장실험을 통한 기계적 특성, 전기화학적 특성 및 수소취화 감수성을 등을 규명하였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과는 해양구조물 선박의 설계시공시에 용접부 주위의 기계적. 전기화학적 특성 평가 및 수소취화 방지대책에 좋은 참고자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

Although final water of domestic water treatment plants almost contains highly corrosive characteristics, the countermeasures for eliminating internal corrosion of pipeline system have not been conducted yet by controlling water quality in plants. The technologies of internal corrosion control are to control water quality parameters(pH, Alkalinity, and Calcium Hardness etc.) and to use corrosion inhibitor. Under the conditions of domestic water treatment, first of all, the technologies of adjusting water quality parameters has to be considered. Otherwise, The technology of using corrosion inhibitor is favorably thought to be applied with the technology of adjusting water quality parameters in accordance with the result of availability for water treatment process. Since the technology of adjusting water quality parameter influences on other water treatment processes, the guideline of water quality management to be apt for water quality characteristic is required to be estabilished. While the selection of proper chemicals and technologies is dependent upon the raw water characteristics and water treatment process, typically, the technology of $Ca(OH)_2$ & $CO_2$ additions is considered more effective than other technologies in order to adjust pH and Alkalinity, increase $Ca^{2+}$ and form $CaCO_3$ film

알루미늄 코팅막은 부식환경으로부터 강판을 보호하는 데에 자주 사용된다. 그러나 이 코팅막은 때때로 사용조건에 따라 제한을 받는다. 아무리 강판상에 치밀한 양질막을 코팅시켰다 할지라도, 사용중 이 피막이 손상을 받아서 강판이 노출되는 경우는 강판과의 갈바닉(Galvanic)작용으로 급격한 부식을 일으킨다. 본 연구는 내식성 개선을 목적으로 해서, 고밀착성의 코팅막을 제공하는 비평형프라즈마 프로세스인 이온프레이팅법에 의해 냉간압연강판상에 Al-Mg합금 코팅막을 제작했다. 제작된 막들은 우선, EMPA측정에 의해 원소조성분석을 한 후, 상구조분석 및 표.단면의 몰포로지(Molphology)를 X선 회절 및 주사형 전자현미경(SEM)에 의해 관찰했다. 또한, 이들막은 탈기시킨 3%NaCl용액중 양극분극 측정을 통해서 내식특성에 대한 평가를 행했다. 이들의 결과에 의하면, 알루미늄과 마그네슘의 조성비에 따라 주상, 미결정 및 아몰포스(Amorphous)조직을 보이는 금속간화합물이나 고용체의 Al-Mg박막이 나타났다. 이들 Al-Mg합금 코팅막은 강판과의 갈바닉 부식작용에 대한 방지 및 부동태 피막의 형성을 촉진하는 등의 좋은 내식성을 나타냈다.

구동형 부품(Actuated component)중의 하나인 LeadScrew는 이송장치를 구성하는 핵심 부품으로 소재로는 탄소강, 합금강, 스테인레스강 등이 주로 이용된다. 다양한 IT기기의 정밀 이송 및 고속 구동에 사용되며, 제품의 성능을 결정하는 중요 핵심 부품으로 사용되고 있다. IT기기용 구동 요소 부품은 정밀 가공성의 제약으로 내식성이 우수한 스테인레스강 소재보다는 일반적으로 소재비가 저렴하고 가공성이 우수한 탄소강 소재를 사용하게 되며, 위 소재를 사용하면 대기중의 수분등에 의한 부식환경에서 쉽게 부식되어 부식방지를 위한 표면처리 기술개발이 필요하다.또한, 구동형 부품은 부품 상호간의 심한 마찰 등과 같은 가혹한 조건에 노출되어, 부품의 내마모성 및 표면 경도등을 향상시켜 부품의 수명을 연장하고자 한다. 그러기 위해 선 표면경도, 내마모성, 내식성 등의 다양한 기능이 요구되며, 성능을 만족시키기 위해서 열표면처리 공정을 확인하고자 한다.본 연구에서는 냉간압조용 강선인 SWCH계열 표면에 PECVD 장치로 플라즈마 질화공정을 이용하여 동일조건(압력, Gas flow, Power)하에서 $500{\sim}550^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위 내에서 30~300 min의 시간 조건으로 실험을 진행하였다. 위 시험편으로 XRD를 통해 각 플라즈마 질화 공정 조건에 따른 상 변화를 확인하였고, 염수분무테스트를 통해 내식성을 확인하였다. 표면경도 및 단면경도를 통한 실용질화층을 확인하고, 마모테스트를 통하여 마찰계수를 확인하여 표면경도, 내마모성, 내식성을 충족하는 공정에 대한 실험을 진행하였다.

This paper was studied on the characteristics of galvanic corrosion and its protection on heat exchanger tube plate in the sea water. In this paper, behavior of pitting corrosion of Ni-al bronze connected with Ti tube was measured af flow velocity of 0 m/s and 2.4 m/s. To protect galvanic corrosion, the protection characteristics of Ni-Al bronze connected with Ti tube by Zn-base alloys galvanic anode and hexagonal nylon insert was investigated. Main results obtained asre al follows: 1) The galvanic corrosion of Ni-Al bronze connected with Ti-tube is more active than single Ni-al bronze. 2) As the circuit resistance increase under the cathodic protection employing Zn-base alloys galvanic anode, Ni-al bronze connected with Ti tube is cathodically unpolarized. 3) The corrosion of Ni-Al bronze connected with Ti tube by nylon insert controls approximately 73% than not nylon insert.

Sodium nitrite is widely used as one of the popular corrosion inhibitors for the protection of ferrous metal in closed cooling water system, such as a diesel engine and a chiller. The optimum treatment conditions are studied through laboratory tests using linear polarization resistance (LPR) technique. Corrosion rate of the carbon steel electrode could be maintained less than $2.5{\times}10^{-3}$ mmpy in the test condition of 500 ppm as ${NO_2}^-$, 200 ppm as $Cl^-$, $70^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.8. The pH control is confirmed not to be an important factor in the protection of carbon steel by sodium nitrite inhibitor. The addition of tolyltriazole was needed for the protection of the copper alloy in the sodium nitrite treatment system.

Recently, The corrosions of reinforced concrete structures are severe problems of economical social effects. PE-coated bars protecting from corrosion and enhancing durability of reinforced concrete structures are testified to evaluate structural properties. Tests are verified by comparative bending tests of the three type materials of epoxy coating, without coating and pe-coating. Load-deflection relations ate superior in pe-coated bar than any other materials(bare bar and epoxy bar). These are proved bonding properties enhancement by using cement powder.
