This study investigates the friction noise characteristic in relation to the corrosion of metal by using the frictional reciprocating and pin-on-disk system. From the experiments, it is found that the corrosion of metal advances the onset time and increases the magnitude of friction noise. Further, it is observed that the effect of corrosion on friction noise stems from the alteration of tribo-surface during repetitive frictional motion. The alteration of the corrosive contact surface induces a negative friction-velocity slope, by which the corrosion of metal can generate dynamic instability faster than non-corrosion of metal.

The effect of air pollutants coming from internal museum materials such as wood-based products and cements on metal corrosion have been investigated. The Oddy test and the Chamber test was employed as a corrosion test. The metal pieces after the Oddy test had different corrosion types caused by the internal museum materials. The most effective wood based product was 18T HS(E0) and 9mm plywood(F0,E0). Iron(Fe) and copper(Cu) also bronze of the Chamber test had corrosion caused by Formic acid, Acetic acid, and Acetaldehyde. The packing materials in high humidity had caused more corrosion on the surface of the metal pieces than in low humidity.

Localized corrosion behavior of Ni-based Inconel 718 alloy was investigated by electrochemical anodic polarization techniques in NACE TM 0177 A solution of 5 wt% NaCl + 0.5 wt% acetic acid at room temperature. After the solution heat treated at 1080 ℃ for 2.5 h, Inconel 718 was age-hardened at 780 ℃ for 8 h. The microstructure of the alloy surface was investigated by optical microscopic or scanning electron microscopic technique. The austenitic phase with the presence of metal carbides was observed on the surface of Inconel 718. Metal-carbides such as Nb-Mo and Ti-carbide with diameters of approximately 10 and 3 ㎛, respectively, were formed in Inconel 718. Anodic polarization results revealed that localized corrosion was observed at the interface between austenitic phase of a substrate and metal carbides. Difference in electrochemical property between a metal carbide and an austenitic substrate could provide an initiation site for localized corrosion of Inconel 718 surface.

The article presented is concerned with an evaluation of the corrosion behavior of SA-508 low alloy steel (LAS) and Type 309L stainless steel (SS) cladding of a reactor pressure vessel under the simulated primary water chemistry of a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The uniform corrosion and galvanic corrosion rates of SA-508 LAS and Type 309L SS were measured in three different control conditions: power operation, shutdown, and power operation followed by shutdown. In all conditions, the dissimilar metal coupling of SA-508 LAS and Type 309L SS exhibited higher corrosion rates than the SA-508 base metal itself due to severe galvanic corrosion near the cladding interface, while the corrosion of Type 309L in the primary water environment was minimal. The galvanic corrosion rate of the SA-508 LAS and Type 309L SS couple measured under the simulated power operation condition was much lower than that measured in the simulated shutdown condition due to the formation of magnetite on the metal surface in a reducing environment. Based on the experimental results, the corrosion rate of SA-508 LAS clad with Type 309L SS was estimated as a function of operating cycle simulated for a typical PWR.

Shot peening can be defined as the process of work hardening of the surface of components by means of propelled stream of spherical shot. Benefits due to shot peening are increase in resistance to fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, fretting, galling, erosion and closing of pores. In this study, the influence of shot peening on the corrosion was investigated on spring steel immersed in $3.5\%\;NaCl$. The immersion test was performed on the two kinds of specimens. Corrosion potential, polarization curve, residual stress and etc. were investigated from experimental results. From test results, the effect of shot peening on the corrosion was evaluated. The important results of the experimental study on the effects of shot peened spring steels on the environment corrosion are as follows; In case of corrosion potential, shot peened specimen shows more activated negative direction as compared with parent metal. Surface of specimen, which is treated with the shot peened, is placed as more activated state against inner base metal. It can cause the anti-corrosion effect on the base metal.

Two types of welding methods were performed on austenitic 304 stainless steel: laser welding and TIG welding. The differences of the corrosion characteristics of the welded zones from the two welding methods were investigated with electrochemical methods, such as measurement of the corrosion potential, polarization curves, cyclic voltammogram, etc. The vickers hardness of all laser-welded zones (WM:Weld Metal, HAZ:Heat Affected Zone, BM:Base Metal) was relatively higher while their corrosion current densities exhibited a comparatively lower value than those which were TIG welded. In particular, the corrosion current density of the TIG-welded HAZ had the highest value among all other welding zones, which suggests that chromium depletion due to the formation of chromium carbide occurs in the HAZ, which is in the sensitization temperature range, thus it can easily be corroded with an active anode. Intergrenular corrosion was also observed at the TIG-welded HAZ and WM zones. Consequently, we can see that corrosion resistance of all austenitic 304 stainless steel welding zones can be improved via the use of laser welding.

Al-Cu alloy has been used as a circuit material for its low resistance and ease to process for long years at CMOS technology. However, basically metal is very susceptible to corrosion and which has been a long pending trouble in various fields using metal. The defect causes the reliability concerns, so improved methods are necessary to reduce the defect. In the various corrosion parameters, PR strip process conditions after metal etch and optimal cleaning solutions are controllable and increase the process margin to prevent the metal corrosion. This study proposes that chlorine residue after metal etch as the source of metal corrosion, and charges should be removed by optimizing PR strip process condition and cleaning condition.

We observed initial rusting process of steel containing Al under wet/dry cyclic condition with NaCl solution film using in situ X-ray diffraction spectroscopy at SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility. It was found that mass fraction of iron oxides such as ${\alpha}-FeOOH$, ${\beta}-FeOOH$ and ${\gamma}-FeOOH$ varied with Al content. Some kinds of Al oxides were also found at the initial stage of corrosion. Those corrosion products might affect the corrosion process and corrosion rate of the steel.

Recently, since the prevalence of electric driving transfer system arouse the electric corrosion of neighboring underground metal establishment, the problems caused by that kind of electric corrosion became very serious. In this paper, we studied about a theoretical concept and concrete concepts of electric corrosion and tried suggested an optimistic chemico-electrical measures on the electric corrosion of underground metal establishments.

The purpose of this study was to evalute the corrosion resistance of chemically and thermally recycled metal brackets. In vivo, two types of recycled metal brackets and new brackets were directly bonded for 1 year, and then the microstructure of bracket surface was examined by S.E.M. (J.S.M.-840 Scanning Electron Microscope, Japan). The following results were obtained. 1) The microstructure of new and chemically recycled metal bracket surfaces showed regular structure without island formation and recrystallization; and after 1 year, the same appearance except some scratches. 2) The microstructure of thermally recycled metal bracket surfaces showed a beginning of island formation and recrystallization by annealing, and after 1 year, a typical corrosive appearance, completely island formation with some metal grains by recrystallization. 3) Chemically recycled metal brackets showed better corrosion resistance than thermally recycled metal brackets.
