Corrsion fatigue test was performed under rotated bending in 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution having a temperature from 278.deg.K in order to investigate the effects of aqueous solution remperature on the corrosion fatigue fracture of raw material steel(SS41) and dual phase steel that was produced from SS41 by a series of heat treatment. Corrosion fatigue life decreases remarkably with increase in solution temperature or with decrease in stress level. The corrosion fatigue life and the crack propagation rate at 303.deg.K show the similar behaviors with those at 318.deg.K, which is assumed to be caused by concentration polarization phenamena. The number and the lengths of microcracks increase with increase in solution temperature, so they lead to the decrease in corrosion fatigue life.

This study was performed for the purpose of obtaining the fundamental data to establish the criterion of concrete deterioration and presuming steel corrosion of concrete structures under the environment of seawater. Steel embedded concrete specimens were exposed in seawater for 1year. The soluble chloride content in concrete, corrosion potential and steel corrosion were considered. The results show that soluble chloride content in concrete was decreased with lower water-cement ratio and with mineral admixtures. Half-cell potential is reduced with steel corrosion. Corrosion area ratio is correlative with half-cell potential.

The effect of pH on the corrosion characteristics in the dissimilar friction welded zone of IN713LC-SCM440 in the loaded torsional stress was studied. The corrosion experiment was performed for 120 hours on the specimens with five steps of pH. The surface corrosion pattern of the SCM440 area showed global corrosion and narrow pitting, which was caused by galvanic corrosion between friction welded IN713LC and SCM440, but corrosion did not proceeded from the IN713LC area. The average relative electrode potential gradually tends to decrease with the elapse of the immersion time in the acidity area. The average corrosion current also gradually tend to decrease The corrosion rate showed a larger value when the average relative electrode potential was higher and the average relative current was lower. The corrosion rate showed a larger value when the average relative electrode potential was higher in the acidity area, and it showed large when the average relative electrode potential was lower in the alkalinity area.

This study is on the constant-current stress corrosion test, related to the load stress, in both the welded and non-welded zones of high tensile strength steel that is used for natural gas transmission. The surface corrosion pattern of the welded zone of API 5L-X65 specimens for natural gas transmission showed general corrosion and narrow pitting, and the pitting was increased with load stress. Initially, the average relative electrode potential and the average relative current of the high tensile strength steel, used for natural gas transmission specimens, were decreased rapidly, and the average relative electrode potential was higher and the average relative current was lower in welded zone, compared to base metal. The average relative electrode potential was decreased with load stress, and the average relative current was somewhat increased by increasing the load stress. The corrosion rate was less in welded zone, compared to base metal, and the corrosion rate was decreased by increasing the load stress.

Steel structures used in marine environments, such as ships, offshore structures or sub-structures in wind power generation facilities are prone to corrosion. In this study, the corrosion fatigue crack propagation characteristics due to the environmental load are examined by experiment at -1050 mV vs. SCE, which is equivalent to the anti-corrosion potential of zinc anodes that are widely used as sacrificial anodes. In this study, for this purpose, an experimental study is conducted on the effect of cathodic protection on the propagation of fatigue cracks in the seawater environment under the condition of -1050 mV vs. SCE, considering the wave period in synthetic seawater. Cathodic protection prevents corrosion; however, excessive protection generates hydrogen through chemical reactions as well as calcareous deposits. The fatigue crack propagation rate appeared to be faster than the rate in a seawater corrosion environment at the early stages of the experiment. As the crack length and stress intensity factor K increased, the crack propagation rate became slower than the fatigue crack propagation rate in seawater. However, the crack growth rate was faster than that in the atmosphere.

선박건조 기술의 지속적인 발전에도 불구하고 선박운항 중에 반복적으로 발생 하는 문제점중의 하나가 열교환기의 파손에 따른 문제점이다. 이러한 열교환기의 파손문제는 일반적인 기계류의 파손과는 달리 경우에 따라서는 주기관인 main engine을 정지시켜야 되는 등 선박운항에 미치는 영향이 매우 크다. 열교환기에 있어서 선박운항 중에 주로 발생되는 부식사례로는 원통부위의 각종 gauge의 thread부분의 간극부식과 침식-부식에 의한 세관의 파손 등이 있다. 이러한 세관의 파손은 각종 oil의 유출 및 sea water 혼입 등의 문제를 일으킨다.

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of the half-cell potential (HCP) measurements on the concrete surface for evaluation of corrosion rate (or corrosion levels) of reinforcing steel in concrete. A series of experimental study is performed to measure HCP (or corrosion potential, E_corr) and corrosion current density (i_corr) of reinforcing steel in concrete cube specimens, with a side length of 200 mm. Various corrosion levels in a range of 0% to 20% of the test specimens are accelerated by impressing current to the reinforcing steel in concrete immersed in 3.0 % NaCl solution. HCP is measured in accordance with ASTM C876-15, and corrosion current density is determined by using the Stern-Geary equation and measured polarization resistance measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). As a result, a numerical formula that relates HCP and i_corr in the test specimen is established by a regression analysis of the measured data in this study. It is observed that HCP is linearly correlated with log(i_corr) with a R² greater than 0.87, which is less affected by the experimental variables such as concrete mixture proportion, diameter of reinforcing steel and the amount of applied current in this study. These results exhibit that HCP measurements could be effective for evaluation of corrosion rate (or corrosion levels) of reinforcing steel in concrete in the case of exposed to a certain consistent environment.

As consumption rate of energy increase rapidly, the facilities of fuel storage tank become large size. Almost all of the industry or public facilities storing fuel in underground fuel storage tank is manufactured by steel materials. Thus, this fuel storage tank made of steel materials is damaged by stray-current corrosion, it become destruction. If fuel storage tank is destructed, petroleum, oil and gas are leaked. So it bring about environmental pollution, energy loss, fire and explosion. Therefor, in this study, for study on the prevention of corrosion damage in underground fuel storage tank, it were investigated by corrosion and stray-current corrosion for SS 400 in dry sea sand and wet sea sand along to specific resistance. The main results obtained are as follows : As specific resistance decrease in wet sea sand, corrosion rate per year increase linearly, in case of back fill up wet sea sand in underground fuel storage tank, if the water is flow into dry sea sand, corrosion tendency of underground fuel storage tank is supposed sensitive.
