출토 청동 유물에서는 매장 환경 내 공존하는 복합적인 부식 인자로 인해 다양한 형태와 색상의 부식 생성물이 관찰되며, 이러한 부식 생성물은 장기 부식의 정보뿐만 아니라 보존처리 시 중요한 자료가 될 수 있다. 따라서 청동 유물의 부식층 및 부식 생성물에 대한 과학적 분석을 실시하여 부식층 형성 과정 및 부식 생성물의 특성을 규명하고, 노출된 매장 환경의 특성 및 내부 부식 인자와의 연관성을 해석하는 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 동일 유적에서 출토된 청동 유물을 합금비와 제작기법에 따라 분류 후, 표면·부식층·부식 생성물에 대한 종합적인 분석을 실시하여 청동 유물의 부식 메커니즘과 부식층 형성 과정, 부식 생성물의 특성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 분석 대상으로 선정된 총 5점의 시료는 합금비 및 제작기법 분석 결과에 따라 2개의 그룹으로 구분되는데, Cu-Sn-Pb합금으로 열처리가 진행되지 않은 Group 1은 내·외측 중 일부 또는 양측에 외부 부식층이 형성되어 있으며, 표면은 녹색 또는 청색으로 확인되었다. 소지 금속에서는 α상, α+δ상 선택 부식이 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었으며, α+δ상 선택 부식 후 빈 공간에 순도가 98% 이상인 Cu가 농축되어 있는 현상이 확인되었다. Cu-Sn합금으로 열처리가 진행된 Group 2는 외부 부식층이 형성되지 않았으며, 표면이 어두운 황색으로 관찰되었다. 또한 Group 1과는 다르게 소지 금속 내부에서 α상 선택 부식이 발생한 것을 확인하였다. 연구결과를 종합해 볼 때 동일한 유적에서 출토된 청동 유물에서도 합금비 및 제작기법에 따라 부식층 형성과정 및 부식 생성물의 형태와 색상, 금속이온 이동경로 등 여러 측면에서 차이를 나타냄을 알 수 있다. 또한 동일 유물에서도 부분적으로 서로 다른 부식 특성을 보이기도 하는데 이는 매장 환경 내 노출 환경에 따라 다른 형태의 부식이 발생할 수 있음을 뜻한다. 따라서 동일 유적에서 출토된 청동 유물이라 하더라도 합금비, 제작기법, 노출 환경에 따라 부식 특성이 다를 것이라고 판단된다. 본 연구는 특정 지역 및 유물을 대상으로 한 부식 특성의 일면을 보여주는 것이므로 향후 여러 지역에서 출토되는 청동 유물의 부식층 및 부식 생성물 특성에 대한 연구를 통해 매장 환경에 따른 부식 메커니즘에 대한 심층적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Stainless 630 (or 17-4PH) is a precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel that has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. These characteristics make the STS630 to be used as a consisting material for various components such as spider, pin, spring, and spring retainer, of the control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) in pressurized water reactors (PWRs). In general, it is well known that the oxide layer of stainless steel consists of a duplex layer, a compact inner layer of FeCr₂O₄ spinel, and a coarse-grained outer layer of Fe₃O₄ spinel in PWR primary coolant condition. However, the characteristics of the oxide layer can be sensitively influenced by various water chemistry conditions such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, dissolved hydrogen, pH, pH adjuster type, and exposure time. In this work, we investigate the corrosion properties of the STS630 as a function of coolant temperature in an NH3 alkaline solution for its boron-free application in a small modular reactor, to confirm the feasibility for usage as a boron-free SMR structural material. As a result, oxide layer of corroded STS630 is consist of double-layer oxides consisting of a Cr-rich dense inner oxide and a Fe-rich polyhedral outer particles like as that in commercial PWR primary coolant. The corrosion rate of STS630 increases with increase in test time and temperature and the corrosion rate-time model equation was developed based on experimental data. Overall, it is expected that the results in this study provides useful data for the corrosion behavior of STS630 in alkaline environments, contributing to the development of selecting suitable materials for SMRs.

A study on the corrosion behavior of Inconel alloys and Incoloy 800H in molten salt of LiCl-$Li_2O$ was investigated at $650^{\circ}C$ for 24-312 hours in an oxidation atmosphere. The order of the corrosion rate was Inconel 600 < Inconel 601 < Incoloy 800H < Inconel 690. Inconel 600 showed the best performance suggesting that the content of Fe, Cr and Ni are the important factor for corrosion resistance in hot molten salt oxidation conditions. The corrosion products of Inconel 600 and Inconel 601 were $Cr_2O_3$ and $NiFe_2O_4$, In case of Inconel 690, a single layer of $Cr_2O_3$ was formed in the early stage of corrosion and an outer layer of $NiFe_2O_4$ and inner layer of $Cr_2O_3$ were formed with an increase of corrosion time. In the case of Incoloy 800H, $Cr_2O_3$ and $FeCr_2O_4$ were observed. Most of the outer scale of the alloys was observed to be spalled from the results of the SEM analysis and the unspalled scale which adhered to the substrate was composed of three layers. The outer layer, the middle one, and the inner one were Fe, Cr, and Ni-rich, respectively. Inconel 600 showed localized corrosion behavior and Inconel 601, 690 and Incoloy 800H showed uniform corrosion behavior. Ni improves the corrosion resistance and too much Cr and/or Fe content deteriorates the corrosion resistance.

The hot corrosion properties of heat-resistant steels were investigated in an oxidation atmosphere including artificial ash and sulfur dioxide. The heat-resistant steels of T22, T92, T122, T347HFG, Super304H and HR3C were evaluated at 620, 670 and $720^{\circ}C$ for 400 hours. The relationship between the corrosion rate and the temperature followed a bell-shaped curve with a peak rate at around $670^{\circ}C$. The corrosion rates showed a decreasing tendency as the chrome contents of these steels increased from 2.15 wt.% to 24.5 wt.%, and austenitic steels had a lower corrosion rate than ferritic steels. Sulfidation by $SO_2$ as well as molten salt corrosion also had an effect on the total corrosion rate, especially showing an increase in the corrosion rate in ferritic steels. Regardless of the chrome content in the steels and irrespective of the test temperature, the corrosion scale was composed of an outer oxide and an artificial ash mixed layer, a middle oxide layer and inner sulfide, and a mixed oxide layer. As the chrome content increased, the proportion of chrome oxide in the corrosion scale increased. Before spalling of the corrosion scale, voids and cracks were initiated in the sulfide and the mixed oxide layer or at the interface with the substrate.

Many countries have conducted extensive studies for biomass co-firing to enhance the durability of reactor on high-temperature corrosion. However, due to the complicated mechanisms of biomass co-firing, there have been limitations in accurately determining the current state of corrosion and predicting the potential risk of corrosion of power plant. In order to solve this issue, this study introduced Lab-scale corrosion system to analyze the corrosion characteristics of the A213 T91 material under the biomass co-firing conditions. The corrosion status of the samples was characterized using SEM/EDS analysis and mass loss measurement according to various biomass co-firing conditions such as corrosion temperature, $SO_2$ concentration, and corrosion time. As a result, the corrosion severity of A213 T91 material was gradually increased with the increase of $SO_2$ concentration in the reactor. When $SO_2$ concentration was changed from 0 ppm to 500 ppm, both corrosion severity and oxide layer thickness were proportionally increased by 15% and 130%, respectively. The minimum corrosion was observed when the corrosion temperature was $450^{\circ}C$. As the temperature was increased up to $650^{\circ}C$, the faster corrosion behavior of A213 T91 was observed. A213 T91 was observed to be more severely corroded by the effect of chlorine, resulting in faster corrosion rate and thicker oxide layer. Interestingly, corrosion resistance of A213 T91 tended to gradually decrease rather than increases as the oxide layer was formed. The results of this study is expected to provide necessary research data on boiler corrosion in biomass co-firing power plants.

Chromium nitride (CrN) samples with two different layer structures (multilayer and single layer) were coated on bipolar plates of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) using the reactive sputtering method. The effects with respect to layer structure on corrosion resistance and overall cell performance were investigated. A continuous and thin chromium nitride layer ($Cr_{0.48}\;N_{0.52}$) was formed on the surface of the SUS 316L when the nitrogen flow rate was 10 sccm. The electrochemical stability of the coated layers was examined using the potentiodynamic and potentiostatic methods in the simulated corrosive circumstances of the PEMFC under $80^{\circ}C$. Interfacial contact resistance (ICR) between the CrN coated sample and the gas diffusion layer was measured by using Wang's method. A single cell performance test was also conducted. The test results showed that CrN coated SUS316L with multilayer structure had excellent corrosion resistance compared to single layer structures and single cell performance results with $25\;cm^2$ in effective area also showed the same tendency. The difference of the electrochemical properties between the single and multilayer samples was attributed to the Cr interlayer layer, which improved the corrosion resistance. Because the coating layer was damaged by pinholes, the Cr layer prevented the penetration of corrosive media into the substrate. Therefore, the CrN with a multilayer structure is an effective coating method to increase the corrosion resistance and to decrease the ICR for metallic bipolar plates in PEMFC.

Thermal spraying onto the metal substrate has been widely used as a technique of the surface treatment in the various industrial field. A wide range of thermal spray technologies exist and all rely on the fundamental process of fusing a metal feedstock, atomizing it and transporting it to the surface of a substrate. Specially, these methods have been taken into account as the protection method against the corrosion. In this study, the polarization characteristics were carried out on the thermal sprayed coating layer immersed in various pH of diluted aqueous solutions at $25^{\circ}C$. Aluminum, Zinc, Ni-base alloy, alumina and polyethylene powder were used with sprayed coating materials. From the polarization curves, the electrochemical corrosion potential($E_{corr}$) and the corrosion current density($I_{corr}$) were investigated.

After etching Al-Cu alloy films using $SiCl_4/Cl_2/He/CHF_3$ plasma, a corrosion phenomenon on the metal surface has been studied with XPS(X-ray pheotoelectron spectroscopy) and SEM (Scanning electron microscopy). In Al-Cu alloy system, the corrosion occurs rapidly on the etched surface by residual chlorine atoms. To prevent the corrosion, $CHF_3$ plasma treatment subsequent to the etch has been carried put. A passivation layer is formed by fluorine-related compounds on the etched Al-Cu surface after $CHF_3$ treatment, and the layer suppresses effectively the corrosion on the surface as the $CHF_3$treatment in the pressure of 300m Torr.

The technique for in situ simultaneous measurements of IR-RAS and QCM, which has been developed for investigation of corrosion in gaseous environments, was employed to study the effects of an extremely thin water layer on the corrosion rate. An evaporated copper film on a QCM element was exposed to air containing water vapor and $SO_2$, and time-resolved IR-RAS spectra were measured and mass gains were simultaneously followed with QCM. The tested ranges of relative humidity (RH) and concentration of $SO_2$ were 60% - 90% and 1 - 20 ppm, respectively. On the basis of 2D-IR analysis, the corrosion products were determined to be Chevreul's salt ($CuSO_3Cu_2SO_3{\cdot}2H_2O$) and $CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$. By constructing curves of the relations between band intensities of IR spectra and mass gains of QCM for the corrosion products, the time variations in each product were determined from spectral experiments on copper plates. The thicknesses of physically adsorbed water layers in course of the corrosion process were also determined from water band intensities. The results showed that the thickness of the physically adsorbed water layer increased with increase in RH, and it also increased with increase in accumulation of corrosion products. The latter is probably due to the capillary effect of the corrosion products.
