This study is on the corrosion of iron objects caused by sulfides in undersea environment. The corrosion state of objects in seawater and their damage state after underwater and left in highly humid air were studied. The samples of this study were four iron objects which had been taken out from undersea mud layer located in Taean Mado, Chungcheongnamdo. SEM-EDS and XRD analyse on the objects to check whether they have sulfides or not. The result of analysis suggested that the major component of corrosion product generated in undersea deposit soil is sulfur(S) and iron sulfide(FeS) is formed as sulfide. However, there was no clear corrosion on the surface of objects which was exposed to sea water because of the impact of concretion which covered the surface. In order to check the damage status of iron objects after they had been taken out of sea water, exposure tests in high humidity environment and dehumidified environment were done on the corrosion products. The result of the test suggested that the oxidization of iron sulfide corrosion product makes iron sulfate ($FeSO_4$) and sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$) and they can cause secondary corrosion of iron objects. Therefore, it is believed that the iron sulfide corrosion product of iron objects taken out from underwater environment should be removed by all means and the keeping environment of the iron objects should also maintain dehumidified state.

Metal is a material that has exerted a lot of influence on the development of human cultures, and has closely connected with our life from the past to the present. Types of metal we have used from the prehistoric times are varied, and iron relics take the largest percentage of metal relics excavated in our country. The biggest threat to the existence of iron relics ranging from excavated relics to the ones that are transmitted is the process of corrosion, and physical removal has been used the most for removing corroded oxides. For details for removal of corrosion oxides, this thesis aimed to research on the chemical corrosion oxides remover that protects parent material of iron relics but treats corrosion oxides only. For safe and effective removal of corrosion oxides of iron relics, this study was conducted aiming at finding the possibility of and optimized composition for removal of iron relics corrosion oxides by manufacturing new acid, alkaline and neutral oxides removers and changing their composition variously, exploring the possibility by applying the agents to modern relics. The results of this study are as follows: First, the acid solution removed only some part of corrosive substance oxidized on the surface of metal specimen. Second, the application of each of alkaline and neutral solution resulted in remaining black-colored corrosive substance, but it was removed when the quantity of the solution and the duration of application are increased. Third, All the three solutions did not cause any damage to parent material in the course of application, and showed the result that they are capable of removing unstable oxide layer while protecting parent material and stable corrosive layer as the solutions would be able to deal with situation by a relic only through the control of concentration of solution and duration of application.

Recently, demands for generating high quality tap waters are increasing with high concern of water pollution and corrosion of water pipelines. For the reasons, developing water quality stabilization technique in water purification system is sought rather than replacing to a new pipelines. In this study, high-purity liquid lime($Ca(OH)_2$) was introduced for a water quality stabilization technique in water purification process and simulated water distribution system of pilot-scale size was applied to evaluate anti-corrosion control effect. The effect of anti-corrosion control was calculated in terms of LSI(Langelier Saturation Index) In conclusion, the result of pilot plant showed improvement of corrosiveness by liquid lime($Ca(OH)_2$) with reduction of released iron(Fe). Application of anti-corrosion control technique to the mild steel coupon and the copper coupon were effective by indicating 35.4, 44.5% of improvements. Besides, sample pipes which were treated with liquid lime had formated more thicker layer of corrosion product inside of pipes. As a result, the process of injecting water stabilizer can greatly contribute to the high quality of tap water.

The internal corrosion of water distribution systems is the main cause for the problem of the public health threat as well as water leakage in the damaged pipeline, red water, and odor and taste of the tap water. This study was examined the effect of chemicals used for pH and alkalinity control and corrosion inhibitors for producing the optimal corrosion control method. Corrosion study at different pH and alkalinity indicated that these control using alkaline chemicals was effective in corrosion rate, Fe release reduction, but examined to be increased in turbidity and corrosion-by-products(TTHMs) problems. The turbidity was slightly increased, requiring caution in controlling corrosion with $Ca(OH)_2$. At pH 9.0, TTHMs concentration is increased two times corn pared with non-control of pH. Using the pipe which had experienced 28 years of exposure, iron release was decreased with the corrosion inhibitor. Consequently, pH, Alkalinity control method using alkaline chemicals must be complemented by corrosion inhibitor application for efficient corrosion control.

In this study, we confirmed that the SWRO(Sea Water Reverse Osmosis) production water has more hard corrosiveness than the tap water by fundamental experiment. According to the result, the target of this study was aimed at developing maintenance and anti-corrosion method. In the early stages of the research, batch tests using mild steel coupons and electrochemical experiments were applied to compare the corrosiveness between SWRO production water and the tap water. After then, two corrosion control methods for SWRO production water were applied. Liquid lime($Ca(OH)_2$) and Carbon Dioxide($CO_2$) were inserted and compared with the combination of liquid lime with phosphate corrosion inhibitor and carbon dioxide. The water qualities were evaluated through LSI(Langelier Saturation Index) and proper injection ratio was deduced by the result. Since then, simulated loop system test were performed to evaluate anti-corrosion effect depending on corrosion inhibitors. Subsequently, carbon steel pipes equipped at the loop system were detached for SEM, EDX and XRD analysis to acquire quantitative and qualitative data of the major corrosion products inside the pipes. In conclusion, the controled groups with anti-corrosion techniques applied were effective by appearing 97.4% and 90.9% of improvements in both case of liquid lime and the liquid lime with a phosphate corrosion Inhibitor. furthermore, major components of scale were iron oxides, on the other hand, protective effect of film formation by calcium carbonate($CaCO_3$) could be confirmed.

This study aims to extract manufacturing techniques by analysing metallurgical characteristics of the cast-iron pot from Bubjusa, examining corrosion status and microstructure with a optical microscope, SEM-EDS, micro vickers hardness tester and XRD. The microstructure analysis has presented that ferrite and partial portion of pearlite exist within the corroded outer layer. The analysis of the inner layer revealed that there is pearlite and graphite of feather shape. The one of the middle layer, which is placed between outer and inner layer, showed that corrosion has been heavily developed. Micro vickers hardness values range from 217Hv to 698Hv in constituent layers and such values lie within the ranges of the ancient iron relics. The result of EDS analysis for each microstructure presented that the outer layer has been more decarbonized than the inner layer. XRD analysis of iron corrosion compound revealed that Goethite and Hematite had been produced from the corrosive process of iron. The study concludes that the large iron pot was made by casting technique, and microstructure of inner layer had a gray cast iron. Outer layer has been decarbonized through repetitive process of heating and cooling. This results can be used as fundamental data for comparative study to reveal manufacturing techniques of large cast-iron pot.

A method for assessing fatigue vulnerability of steel bridge members considering corrosion and truck traffic variation with time is proposed to evaluate the reduction of fatigue strength in steel bridge members. A fatigue limit state function including corrosion and traffic variation effect is established. The interaction between the average corrosion depth and the fatigue strength reduction factor is applied to the limit state function as the reduction term of strength. Three types of truck traffic change is modeled for representing real traffic change trend. Monte-Carlo simulation method is used for reliability analysis which provides the data to obtain fatigue vulnerability curves. The estimation method proposed was verified by comparing with the results of reference study and applying to the steel bridges in service.

아연계 도금 강판은 우수한 내식성을 가지며 특히 아연의 희생방식기구에 의해 철의 부식을 억제하므로 선박, 건축자재, 전자기기 및 자동차 등 다양한 분야에서 그 수요와 사용범위가 증가하고 있다. 또한 도금 조성비 변화 및 다양한 표면처리 방법을 통해 가혹한 환경에서의 우수한 내식성에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중 갈바륨(Galvalume)은 55%의 알루미늄(Al)과 45%의 아연(Zn)으로 되어 있으며, 아연의 장점인 희생방식성과 내알카리성, 알루미늄의 장점인 내구성과 내열성, 내산성을 이상적으로 결합시킨 알루미늄(Al)-아연(Zn) 고내식 합금용융도금강판이다. 본 연구에서는 갈바륨 소재를 여러 산업현장에서 강관 형태로 사용할 경우의 내식성을 파악하기 위해 갈바륨 강관과 기존에 사용되고 있는 용융도금재인 용융아연도금 강관을 비교하며 실험을 진행하였다. 냉간압연강관에 용융아연도금 약 $25{\mu}m$, 갈바륨 약 $20{\mu}m$ 두께로 제작된 강관을 사용하였으며 제작된 도금층 표면 모폴로지는 SEM을 통해 관찰하였고, XRD 분석을 통해 결정 구조를 확인하였다. 또한 5% 염수분무 환경 중 노출시험(Salt spray test), 3% NaCl 용액에서의 자연침지 시험 및 3% NaCl 용액 중 전기화학적 양극분극 시험을 진행하여 평가하였다. 5% NaCl 환경에서의 염수분무 시험 결과 용융아연도금의 경우 단면에서는 90시간, 표면에서는 260시간 경과 후 적청이 발생하였다. 반면, 갈바륨의 경우에는 단면에서 210시간 경과 후에 적청이 발생하였고, 표면의 경우에는 900시간 이상에서도 적청이 발생하지 않았다. 이 결과를 통해 용융아연도금에 비해 갈바륨 도금의 내식성이 단면에서는 3배, 표면에서는 4~5배 이상 향상된 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 3% NaCl 용액 중 자연침지 시험 결과 용융아연도금 강관 표면은 24시간 경과 후 열화부를 중심으로 흑변하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으나 갈바륨의 경우에는 900시간 이상 실험이 진행되는 동안 No Scribe 및 Scribe 시편 모두 외관상 변화가 거의 없었다. 단면의 경우, 용융아연도금 시편은 900시간 이상 실험이 진행되는 동안 외관상 변화가 없었으며, 갈바륨 시편의 경우 300시간 경과 하면서 흰색의 아연 부식생성물이 나타났으나 900시간 이후로도 적청은 발생하지 않았다. 자연전위 측정결과 용융아연도금 및 갈바륨 시편 모두 유사한 전위거동을 나타냈지만 단면의 경우 갈바륨 시편이 용융아연도금에 비해 안정적인 거동을 보였다. 3% NaCl 용액 중 전기화학적 양극 분극 시험 결과 용융아연도금이 갈바륨에 비해 귀한 방향의 부식 전위 값을 나타냈으며, 부식 전류밀도도 용융아연도금이 갈바륨에 비해 더 높은 값을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 염수분무시험, 자연침지시험 및 전기화학적 양극분극시험을 통해 종합적으로 분석-고찰하여 보면, 그 부식이 진행되는 과정은 융융아연도금과 달리 갈바륨 도금의 경우가 다단계적인 부식 과정을 거치면서 우수한 내식 특성을 나타낸다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 갈바륨 도금은 그 도금 막에 분포된 합금상 원소 성분들이 상호 갈바닉(Galvanic) 작용하며 형성된 부식생성물이 수평적으로 자체 차단(Barrier) 역할을 하는 과정과 부분적 부식-회복 과정을 거치면서 다단계적으로 부식속도를 감소시키게 된다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
