An alternating current (AC) corrosion on buried pipeline has been studied using coupon and ER probe. Coupons and ER probes were applied to the sites from high value of AC voltage to low value based on the survey of AC voltages on buried gas transmission pipeline over the country. Parameters such as AC current density of coupon, AC voltage, cathodic protection potential, soil resistivity and frequency were monitored continually. Corrosion induced by AC was observed even under cathodically protected condition that met cathodic protection criterion (; below -850 mV vs. CSE). Corrosion rate was affected mainly not by AC voltage but by both of frequency and AC current density. An experimental corrosion rate relation could be obtained according to effective AC current density, in which AC corrosion rate increased linearly with effective AC current density, and its slope was 0.619 in coupon method and 0.885 in ER probes.

Direct current corrosion have being investigated by lots of scientists but Alternating current corrosion was ignored because the corrosion rate by AC was very small. Recently however, AC corrosion accidents have been reported in many other countries. So the study of AC corrosion is to be necessary in these days. In this paper, several experiments which intentionally imposed the AC or DC to the specimens also imposed AC and DC at the same time was carried out in the laboratory to examine the AC corrosion characteristics and in addition applied the same way in the field. Moreover, while the field investigations of the abnormal corrosion failures. It was the AC that caused one of corrosion failures.

An alternating current (AC) corrosion using coupon has been studied. Coupons were applied in terms of AC voltage from high value to low value through the survey of AC voltages on buried gas transmission pipeline over the country. Parameters such as AC current density of coupon, AC voltage, cathodic protection potential, soil resistivity and frequency were monitored continually. Corrosion induced by AC was observed even under cathodically protected condition that met cathodic protection criterion(: below -850mv vs. CSE). Corrosion rate was affected mainly not by AC voltage but by both of frequency and AC current density. An experimental corrosion rate relationship could be obtained statistically, in which AC corrosion rate increased linearly with effective AC current density and its slope was 0.619.

부$\cdot$방식분야에서 직류부식은 많이 연구되어 왔지만, 교류부식은 직류에 비래 부식률이 매우 낮다는 이유로 소홀히 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 최근 유럽을 비롯한 북미에서도 교류부식에 의한 사고가 빈발하게 발생하기 시작하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가스배관의 교류부식에 대한 특성을 실험실 시험과 현장에서의 실 사례 연구를 통하여 규명하였다.

천연가스 공급용 고압 지하 매설배관에 교류가 유도될 때 쿠폰과 전기저항형 박막센서를 이용하여 교류에 의한 부식속도를 평가하고 주요한 인자를 규명하고자 하였다. 전국에 걸쳐 조사된 교류전압 측정결과를 바탕으로 쿠폰과 전기저항형 박막센서를 설치하고, 주요인자를 고찰하기 위하여 다양한 인자들 (교류전압, 교류전류, 토양 비저항, 주파수, 방식전위)을 정기적으로 기록하였다. 황산동 전극기준 -850mV의 방식전위를 충분히 만족하는 상황에서도 교류에 의한 부식이 진행하였으며, 교류에 의한 부식속도는 교류전압과는 관계없이 교류전류밀도와 주파수에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 교류에 의한 부식속도는 유효교류전류밀도에 따라 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 쿠폰에 의한 평가결과 직선의 기울기는 0.619, 전기저항형 센서에 의한 직선의 기울기는 0.885로 나타났다.

This study investigates the application of alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) anodization techniques on stainless steel 304L (SS304L) in an ethylene glycol and ammonium fluoride (NH4F) electrolyte solution to produce a nano-porous oxide layer. With limited research on AC anodizing of stainless steel, this study focuses on comparing AC and DC anodization in terms of current density versus time response, phase analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and corrosion rate determined by linear polarization. Both AC and DC anodization were performed for 60 minutes at 50 V in an electrolyte solution containing 0.5% NH4F and 3% H₂O in ethylene glycol. The results show that AC anodization exhibited higher current density compared to DC anodization. XRD analysis revealed the presence of ferrite (α-Fe) and austenite (γ-Fe) phases in the as-received specimen, while both AC and DC anodized specimens exhibited only the γ-Fe phase. The corrosion rate of the AC-anodized specimen was measured at 0.00083 mm/year, lower than the corrosion rate of the DC-anodized specimen at 0.00197 mm/year. These findings indicate that AC anodization on stainless steel offers advantages in terms of higher current density, phase transformation, and lower corrosion rate compared to DC anodization. These results highlight the need for further investigation and exploration of AC anodization as a promising technique for enhancing the electrochemical properties of stainless steel.

The electrochemical methods of early detection and analysis of corrosion related deterioration in concrete reinforcement structures are very useful techniques. The generally using procedure for corrosion monitoring of reinforced structures employs a method of half-cell potential measurement. Whilst the technique has provided a useful means of delineating areas of high or low corrosion risk, there are difficulties in its use and interpretation, particularly when assessing corrosion rates of reinforcement. The aim of this study is to describe the AC-impedance method being employed to monitor and assess corrosion rates, to estimate corrosion mechanism of reinfrocement in laboratory conditions. The AC-impedance monitoring technique applies a small amplitude(20mV) AC signal to embedded steel in concrete and reference electrode (Cu/$CuSo_4$). We obtained over a wide frequency range(10MHz~1mHz) to produce a complex plane plot or Nyquist plot.
