The deuterium uptake behavior of Zr-2.5Nb pressure tubes in Wolsong Unit 1 was analyzed in terms of longitudinal location, operation time, and coolant temperature. The results were compared with those obtained from Canadian CANDU reactors. The amount of deuterium uptake was higher at the outlet part than at the inlet part and was also higher when subjected to a longer operation time and a higher coolant temperature. The hydrogen uptake of Zr-2.5Nb in a hydrogen gas atmosphere was dependent on the microstructure of the alloy. The aged Zr-2.5Nb consisting of $\alpha$-Zr and $\beta$-Nb phases showed higher hydrogen uptake than that consisting of $\alpha$-Zr and $\beta$-Zr phases. The hydrogen in the alloy decreased the rate of oxidation. This could be explained in terms of the cathodic controlled reaction of Zr-2.5Nb oxidation.

The metalliding technique was adopted to obtain the diffusion coating of zirconium on AISI 304 Stainless Steel in molten mixed chlorides (32.9wt.%LICl-34.8wt.%NaCl-32.3wt.%). Experiments were carried out in argon gas atmosphere. The electrolytic cell was consisted of a AISI 304 Stainless steel cathode and a consumable zirconium anode. The quality of deposit was analysed by SEM, Optical Microscope, EDS, and also examined by the Micro-Vickers hardness and corrosion tests. Interface of deposit layer was identified as zirconium-iron alloy layer caused by diffusion process at elevated temperatures. The optimum condition for the metalliding was found to be the bath temperature of $550^{\circ}C$, the concentration of $K_2ZrF_6$ ,5wt.%, cathodic current derrent density of 7.0 to 10.0mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ , and anodic current density of 2.0mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

TiCrAlSiN films were developed in order to improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties of conventional TiN films that are widely used as hard films to protect and increase the lifetime and performance of cutting tools or die molds. In this study, a nano-multilayered TiAlCrSiN film was deposited by cathodic arc plasma deposition. It displayed relatively good oxidation resistance at $700-900^{\circ}C$, owing to the formation protective oxides of $Al_2O_3$, $Cr_2O_3$, and $SiO_2$, and semiprotective $TiO_2$. At $1000^{\circ}C$, the increased temperature led to the formation of the imperfect oxide scale that consisted primarily of the outer ($TiO_2$,$Al_2O_3$)-mixed scale and inner ($TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, $Cr_2O_3$)-mixed scale.

Reduction of Ti(Ⅳ)-oxalate complex on dropping mercury electrode has been studied as a function of oxalate concentration and of pH varied with HCl. Assuming there are equilibrium $TiO(C_2O_4)_2= \;+\;2H^+\;=\;Ti^{+4}\;+\;2C_2O_4\;=\;+\;H_2O,\;K_4$ in addition to $TiO(C_2O_4)_2\;^=\;=\;TiO^{++}\;+\;2C_2O_4=\;K_2\;Ti(C_2O_4)_2\;^-\;=\;Ti^{+3}\;+\;2C_2O_4=\;K_3$ in the system cathodic wave has been well explained for that pH is higher than 0.5. The equilibrium constants $K_2,\;K_3$ and $K_4$ have been to be $2{\times}10^{-12},\;5{\times}10^{-13}$ and $10^{-11}$, respectively. The reduction of Ti(Ⅳ)-oxalate system is $Ti^{+4}\;+\;e\;{\to}\;Ti^{+3}$ in the concentration of hydrochloric acid, higher than 3M.

Ka-Hwa highway bridge, located in a corrosive marine environment, had been examined the current condition of reinforcement corrosion in concrete throughout half-cell potentials, electrical resistivity, chloride contamination of concrete, and visual observation. According to the test, the chloride corrosion reinforced concrete structure is not only the protecting film around the reinforcement is deteriorated but also corrosion activity develops, for example, delamination areas of concrete. The purpose of this paper is to report the effects of Ka-Hwa highway bridge damaged by chlodide attack and to present the results of repair of Ka-Hwa highway concrete bridge in domestic marine environment.

The chemical behavior and properties on the redox state of environmental pollutant has been investigated by electrochemical methods. We carried out to measure the variations in the redox reaction of differential pulse polarogram and cyclic voltammogram. The results observed the influences on redox potential and current of various factors with temperature and pH. These were established factors as the effect of the redox reaction. It can be clearly recognized that the electrode reaction are from qusi-reversible to irreversible processes. Also, it was mixing with reaction current controlled. The bits-phenol A in the waste water was made to compound with cobalt ion and it take away from the separation into compound. The $Co(BPA)_2$ compound was not found to be dissociation in waste water. However, this compound is avery unstable(K=1.02) and for a while, it was to be a dissociation. Therefore, we believed that it was likely to a toxic substance.

The techniques of pulse and cyclic voltammetry were applied to the determination of (E$_{1}$2)$_2$-(E$_{1}$2)$_1$ for two-step electrochemical charge transfers. In addition, a simple amplitude was derived far the dependence of the differential pulse response on (E$_{l}$ 2/)$_1$ and (E$_{1}$2/)$_2$. and the use of peak to peak separation in cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse methods was evaluated. A comparison of the comproportionation constants(Ke) from differential pulse and cyclic voltammetry methods exhibited a good agreement within 5%.

전해질(지중, 수중 혹은 해수중) 내부에 있는 금속구조물의 부식을 방지하는 가장 효과적인 방법인 전기방식법에는 양극방식법(anodic protection method)과 음극방식법(cathodic protection method)이 있다. 양극방식법은 피방식구조물을 자연전위 보다 높게 유지함으로써 구조물의 표면에 저항이 높은 피막을 형성시켜 부식을 방지하는 방법으로서, 금속의 재질에 따라 적용이 불가능한 경우가 많으며, 또, 가능하다 할지라도 유지 및 보수에 상당한 주의가 요구되므로 잘 쓰이지 않고 있는 반면에, 음극방식법은 거의 모든 재질에 적용 가능할 뿐만 아니라 유지 및 보수가 쉬우므로 현장에서 가장 널리 쓰이고 있음에 따라 전기방식법 하면 대부분 음극방식법을 지칭하는 것으로 이해되고 있다. 본고에서는 전기방식법을 이해하는데 도움이 되는 부식 메카니즘, 음극방식법의 원리, 음극방식법의 종류 및 설계법 등에 관하여 간략히 기술하고자 한다.

The forced drainage set up to decrease the cathodic protection in each kind of steel conduit laid under the ground is so proscribed to be maintained less than 60V in its output voltage that insulation coordination is easy to be left out of account, on the basis of 60V of working voltage. When railway or subway break down during the service of a subway, 1,500 voltage approximating to line voltage flows through the load terminal of the drainage (rail and underground conduit) though momentary in the worst case. And so, an accident followed by dielectric breakdown, fire and damage by a fire is expected. Therefore, I suggest that insulation coordination should be considered against such a thing on designing, producing and setting up forced drainage.

Most metal structures such as gas pipelines. oil pipelines, hot water pipelines and power cables etc. are buried in underground. Normally. metal structures corrode in underground by the electrochemical reaction. Then, metal structures need to be protected against corrosion. Cathodic protection is one of useful methods to protect metal structures against corrosion. In this paper we do the design of anode shape using Boundary Element Method. So we analysis the current density of anode surface and the potential distribution in the electrolyte. Therefore we seek to maximize the anode life and the safety of metal structures.
