The cathodic hydrogen evolution ability of different pure metals and their long term galvanic corrosion behavior with pure Mg were investigated. The hydrogen evolution ability of pure Ti, Al, Sn and Zr is weak, while that of Fe, W, Cr, and Co is very strong. Initial polarization test could not completely reveal the cathodic behavior of the tested metals during long term corrosion. The cathodic hydrogen evolution ability may vary significantly in the long term galvanic tests for different metals, especially for Al whose cathodic current density reduced to 1/50 of the initial value. The anodic polarization shows that Al and Sn as alloying elements are supposed to provide relatively good passive effect for Mg alloy, while Ag can provide a slight passive effect and Zn has little passive effect.

The ship hull part is always exposed to severe corrosive environments. Therefore, it should be protected in appropriate ways to reduce corrosion problems. So there are two effective methods in order to protect the corrosion of ship hull. One is the paint coating as a barrier between steel and electrolyte (seawater) and the other is the cathodic protection(CP) supplying protection current. In the conventional design process of the cathodic protection system the required current densities of protected materials have been used. However, the anode position of field or laboratory experiment for obtaining the required current density for CP is significantly different from anode position for real structures. Therefore, the recent CP design must consider the optimum anode position for potential distribution equally over the ship hull. The CP design companies in the advanced countries can obtain the potential distribution results on the cathodic materials by using the computer analysis module. This study would show how to approach the potential analysis in the field of corrosion engineering. The computer program can predict the under protection area on the structure when the boundary condition and analysis procedure are reasonable. In this analysis the polarization curve is converted to the boundary condition in material data.

Al is a active metal that owes its resistance to a thin, protective, barrier oxide surface layer, which is stable in air and neutral aqueous solution. Thus Al alloys are widely used in architectural trim. cold & hot-water storage vessels and piping. However Al and most of its alloy may corrode with some forms such as pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion and galvanic corrosion in the case of exposure to various industrial and marine atmosphere. Therefore a correct evaluation of corrosion resistance for their Al and Al alloys may be more important in a economical point of view. In this study. a relative evaluation of corrosion resistance for three kinds of Al alloys such as ALDC2, ALDC3, and ALDC8 series was carried out with electrochemical method. There is a tendency that corrosion potential is shifted to positive or negative direction by alloying components regardless of corrosion resistance. Moreover the data of corrosion properties obtained from cathodic Polarization curve, cyclic voltammogram and AC. DC impedance respectively showed a good correspondence each other against the corrosion resistance but variation of corrosion potential. passivity current density of anodic polarization curve and corrosion current density by Tafel extrapolation and Stern-Geary method didn't correspond with not only each other but also considerably the data of corrosion properties discussed above. Therefore it is suggested that an optimum electrochemical evaluation for corrosion resistance of Al alloy is to calculate the diffusion limiting current density of cathodic polarization curve, impedance of AC or DC and polarization resistance of cyclic voltammogram.

It has been observed that coated steel structures are rapidly deteriorated than designed lifetime due to acid rain caused by air pollution etc.. Therefore improvement of corrosion resistance of anti-corrosive paint is very important in terms of safety and economic point of view. In this study corrosion resistance for five kinds of anti-corrosive paints including acryl, fluorine and epoxy resin series were investigated with electrochemical methods such as corrosion potential, polarization curves, impedance and cyclic voltammogram measurements etc.. There were somewhat good relationships between values measured by electrochemical methods such as corrosion current density obtained by cathodic and anodic polarization curves, value of impedance estimated with AC impedance, and polarization resistance on the cyclic voltammogram, for example, corrosion current density was decreased with increasing of values of impedance and polarization resistance on the cyclic voltammogram. However their relationships between corrosion current density and corrosion potential were not well coincided each other. Consequently it is considered that although a corrosion potential of F101 of fuoric resin series shifted to negative direction than other anti-corrosive paints, its corrosion resistance, indicating on the cathodic and anodic polarization curves, AC impedance curves and cyclic voltammogram, was the most superior to other paints, whereas A100 containing arcylic resin showed a relatively poor corrosion resistance compared to other paints.

An electrochemical evaluation on the corrosion resistance for heavy anticorrosive paint(DFT:25um) was carried out for 5 kinds of heavy anticorrosive paints such as high solid epoxy(HE), solvent free epoxy(SE). tar epoxy(TE), phenol epoxy(PE). and ceramic epoxy(CE). Corrosion current densities obtained by Tafel extrapolation method from anodic and cathodic polarization curves didn't correspond with the values obtained by AC impedance measurement, however, the values of polarization resistance obtained from the cyclic voltammogram showed a good tendency corresponding well with the values of AC impedance measurement. Futhermore there was a good correlation against the corrosion resistance evaluation between passivity current density of the anodic polarization curve and diffusion limiting current density of the cathodic polarization curve. And corrosion resistance increased with corrosion potential shifting to noble direction. From the results discussed above. HE and CE had a relatively good corrosion resistance than other heavy anticorrosive paints.

Cathodic protection is being widely used to protect steel structures in sea water environment, In order to protect steel structures completely, the flow condition of sea water surrounding with this structures and the surface condition of the structures must be considered for a desirable design of cathodic protection. In this study, the optimum protection potential and current density were investigated in terms of cathodic current density, surface condition and a flow condition of sea water. The optium protection potential of the cleaned specimen was -770 mV(SCE) and below. However in the case of the rusted specimen, its potential was -700 mV(SCE) and below, which was somewhat positive than the cleaned one irrespective of flow condition. The optimum cathodic protection current density for both the cleaned and rusted specimens was 100 mA/$\textrm{m}^2$, however, on the flow condition, 200 mA/$\textrm{m}^2$ to be supplied for cathodic protection of steel structures completely for both cleaned and rusted specimens.

혼합전도체 산화물, LSCF의 전극반응점 분포에 따른 분극현상을 관찰하기 위해 다공성 양극의 기공률을 변화시켜가며 분극특성을 관찰하였다. 전극의 기공률을 달리하기 위해 크기가 다른 두 종류의 LSCF 분말들을 혼합비를 달리하여 사용하였으며 GDC 전해질 기판에 스크린 인쇄법을 통해 전극을 구성한 후 반쪽전지 실험을 수행하였다. 제조된 후막전극의 기공률은 화상 분석법을 통해 측정하였으며 전극의 전체 비표면적을 유추하기 위해 2차원 이미지에서의 기공의 둘레 길이를 측정하였다. 교류 임피던스법을 이용해 분극 특성을 관찰한 결과 혼합전도체인 LSCF 양극에서의 전극반응은 i) 양극표면에서 이온화된 산소이온이 전해질과의 삼상계면까지 이동해 오는 단계, ii) 이동해온 산소이온이 양극으로부터 전해질로 전달되는 반응단계에 의해 제어됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 양극에서의 분극은 기공률의 증가에 따라 전극 반응에 필요한 활성 표면이 증가됨으로써 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study investigated the erosion-corrosion characteristics of 5038-H321 aluminum alloy in a natural seawater solution through various electrochemical experiments and flow rate parameters. Cathodic polarization experiments were conducted at flow rates ranging from 4 to 12 knots. Considering the concentration polarization section representing a relatively low current density, the range of the potentiostatic experiment was determined to be -1.6 to -1.0 V. The potentiostatic experiment was conducted at various potentials for 180 minutes in seawater. After the experiment, the corrosion characteristics were evaluated by observing surface morphology and measuring surface roughness. As a result, as the applied potential was lower, the amount of calcareous deposits increased and the roughness tended to increase. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the roughness was larger in the static condition than the flow rate condition due to the influence of the flow velocity. Variations in the chemical composition with flow rate variations were analyzed by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). In conclusion, the cathodic potential of AA5083-H321 in seawater was determined to be -1.0 V.
