The corrosion behavior of stainless steel (304 and 316 type) and copper induced by LiCl-KCl at low temperatures in the presence of sufficient oxygen and moisture was investigated through a series of experiments (at $30^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, and $80^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 96 hours). The specimens not coated on one side with an aqueous solution saturated with LiCl-KCl experienced no corrosion at any temperature, not even when the test duration exceeded 96 hours. Stainless steel exposed to LiCl-KCl experienced almost no corrosion below $40^{\circ}C$, but pitting corrosion was observed at temperatures above $60^{\circ}C$. As the duration of the experiment was increased, the rate of corrosion accelerated in proportion to the temperature. The 316 type stainless steel exhibited better corrosion resistance than did the 304 type. In the case of copper, the rate of corrosion accelerated in proportion to the duration and temperature but, unlike the case of stainless steel, the corrosion was more general. As a result, the extent of copper corrosion was about three times that of stainless steel.

The transportation and deposition of iron corrosion products are important elements that affect both the steam generator (SG) integrity and secondary system in pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants. Most of iron corrosion products are generated on carbon steel materials due to flow accelerated corrosion (FAC). The several parameters like water chemistry, temperature, hydrodynamic, and steel composition affect FAC. It is well established that the at-temperature pH of the deaerated water system has a first order effect on the FAC rate of carbon steels through nuclear industry researches. In order to reduce transportation and deposition of iron corrosion products, increasing pH(t) tests were applied on secondary system of A, B units. Increasing pH(t) successfully reduced flow accelerated corrosion. The effect of increasing pH(t) to inhibit FAC was identified through the experiment and pH(t) evaluation in this paper.

The corrosion of silver amalgam is regarded as one of major causes in the failures of dental amalgam restorations. To evaluate the corrosion resistance of dental amalgam alloys, electrochemical tests such as potential and polarization measurement were used widely. But these commonly used methods have not provided the sufficient informations on relative resistance of amalgam to corrosion. In this experiment, the corrosion currents were measured using electronic potentiostat to compare some commercial dental amalgam alloys. All alloys were triturated in a amalgamator and condensed into a mold described in A.D.A. Specification No. 1 to produce cylinder form specimens of 4mm diameter by 5mm long. After specimen kept for 1 week at $37^{\circ}C$, each specimen was embedded in epoxy resin. The surfaces of specimens were then polished with a emery paper, diamond dust, and $Al_2O_3$. These specimens were immersed in artifical saliva kept at $37^{\circ}C$, and currents of each specimen were measured for 24 hours at 0.0volt (SCE). The author obtained conclusions as follows: 1. High copper amalgam showed superior resistance against corrosion to conventional amalgam, but a pellet form of high copper amalgam seemed to be susceptible to corrosion. 2. In lathe-cut alloys, fine-cut had superior resistance against corrosion to regular-cut. 3. Non-zinc conventional amalgam alloys were more resistant to corrosion than that of zinc containing conventional amalgam alloys. 4. In both of high copper and conventional amalgams, predispensed forms tended to have better resisitance to corrosion than that of pellet forms.

일반적으로 중성용액 하에서 알루미늄 합금은 부동태피막($Al_2O_3$나 $Al_2O_3{\cdot}3H_2O$)을 형성한다. 그러나, 해수 환경에서 염소이온이 표면에 생성된 부동태 피막을 파괴하여 부식이 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 해수환경 하에서 부식 문제점을 해결하기 위해 Al-4.5%Mg-0.6%Mn 알루미늄 합금에 대하여 정전위 방식 기술을 적용하였다. 분극실험결과, 개로전위보다 귀한 전위에서는 활성 용해 반응이 나타났으며 개로전위 보다 비한 전위에서는 용존산소 환원에 의한 농도 분극과 활성화 분극이 관찰되었다. 정전위 실험결과, 농도 분극에서 활성화 분극으로 전환되는 전위부터 적용 시간이 증가할수록 전착물이 많이 생성되었으며, 부분적으로 전착물과 모재의 계면사이에서 틈부식이 관찰되었다. 전체적으로 정전위 양극분극실험시, 활성용해반응이 발생하여 정전위 방식 기술을 적용하기 어려운 반면, 정전위 음극분극 실험시 방식 전위인 농도분극 범위내에서 적용 시간을 고려하여 최적 방식 조건을 -1.1 V~-0.75 V로 규명하였다.

일반적으로 크리트 구조물의 열화를 발생하는 가장 중요한 원인은 탄산화와 염소이온이다. 대체적으로 많은 콘크리트 구조물에서 탄산화와 염소이온으로 인하여 철근이 부식되며 이에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 특히, 최근에는 보수용으로서 콘크리트 보호용 표면피복재에 방청제를 함침시켜, 염화물을 포함하고 있는 콘크리트 내 철근의 부식을 억제하는 공법도 개발되어지고 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 기존 보수재료 보다 부식 억제가 우수하고 열화원인인 $CO_2$ 와 $Cl^-$를 고정하는 유기계방청제를 혼입한 표면피복재의 특성 평가를 위해 촉진탄산화 및 시차 열 중량분석(TG-DTA), CASS시험를 실시하여 특성을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험 결과, TG-DTA 분석과 촉진탄산화를 통하여 유기계방청제 혼입으로 시멘트 콘크리트에 $CO_2$가 아민유도체와 직접적으로 반응하여 탈 양성자화 되면서 산성상태의 물질을 생성하여 안정화된 상태, 즉 $CO_2$가 고정화되어 탄산화 억제효과가 있음을 확인 하였다. 또한, CASS실험에서도, $Cl^-$ 고정 특성이 있는 유기계 방청제가 혼입된 표면피복재를 도포한 시험체의 경우, 28일째까지도 적청 발생이 관찰되지 않았으며 염화물에 의한 철근 부식을 방지하는데 우수한 성능으로 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

Corrosion products of reinforcement in the concrete exerts pressure to the adjacent concrete that the concrete is subject to tensile stress. If the tensile strength exceeds the tensile strength, cracks are initiated around steel and propagates through concrete cover. Cracking of the cover means that the lifetime of the structure is ended. So the amount of corrosion which introduces crack in the concrete cover is a crucial factor in the reinforcement corrosion problem. In this study, relation between internal pressure and amount of corrosion are pursued by way of corrosion experiment and finite element analysis.

The Carbonation, one of the main deterioration factors of concrete, reduces capacity of members with providing rebar corrosion environment. Consequently it suggested standards of all countries of world, carbonation depth prediction equation of respective researchers and time to rebar corrosion initiation. As a result of carbonation depth prediction equation calculation, difference of time to rebar corrosion initiation is 149 years and difference of carbonation depth prediction equation is 162 years when water cement ratio is 50%. So a study on rebar corrosion with carbonation depth will need existing reliable data and verifications by experiment.

In this paper, the corrosion fatigue crack propagation behavior of structure rolled steel (SWS 41C) was investigated by changing the thickness, and this experiment was done by the three point bending corrosion fatigue tester. The main results obtained are as follows: 1) As the thickness of specimen becomes thicker, the corrosion sensitivity to initial stage crack becomes some sensitive, and that the fatigue life becomes more sensitive. 2) The crack growth rate to initial stage crack (da/dN) was retarded as the thickness of specimen becomes thicker. But after initial stage crack, as the thickness of specimen is more thicker, da/dN is more rapid. 3) As the corrosion fatigue crack length grows, the accelerative factor of thick specimen (t=12mm) is more higher than that of thin specimen (t=6mm). 4) As the corrosion fatigue crack length grows, the corroson potential of both thick specimen and thin specimen becomes more less noble potential, however thick specimen (t=12mm) tends to more less noble potential than that of thin specimen(t=6mm).

In order to improve corrosion resistance for cast stainless steel in seawater, the characteristics of corrosion resistance after plasma ion nitriding was investigated. Plasma ion nitriding process was conducted in a mixture of nitrogen of 25% and hydrogen of 75% at substrate temperature ranging from 350 to $500^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours using pulsed-DC glow discharge plasma with working pressure of 250 Pa in vacuum condition. Corrosion tests were carried out for as-received and plasma ion nitrided specimens. The corrosion characteristics were investigated by measurement of weight loss and observation of surface morphology. In anodic polarization experiment, relatively less damage depth and weight loss were presented at a nitrided temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, attributing to the formation of S-phase.

이 논문에서는 철근 부식을 촉진시킨 휨 부재의 4점 재하 재하실험을 통하여 철근 지름 및 부식률의 변화에 따른 처짐과 곡률 및 균열모멘트의 변화를 측정하는 실험을 수행하였다. 부식률은 중량비로 0%, 2%, 5% 및 10%로 변화하였으며, 철근의 지름은 각각 10mm, 13mm 및 19mm로 하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면 처짐에 대한 철근 지름의 영향은 크지 않았으며, 철근의 부식률이 2%를 초과하는 경우 부식되지 않은 철근을 가진 부재에 비하여 처짐이 증가하고 균열모멘트가 감소하는 경향을 확인하였다. 이는 부식된 철근에 대한 직접인발 시험과 동일한 경향을 보이는 것이며, 철근의 부식률이 크지 않은 경우 휨거동에 대한 부식의 영향이 크지 않음을 의미한다. 또한, 철근이 부식된 철근콘크리트 부재의 처짐량을 산정하기 위하여 부식률에 따른 균열모멘트의 변화를 반영하는 처짐 보정계수를 도출하고 실험결과를 통하여 그 적용성을 확인하였다.
