The object of this study is to investigate the definite method for pitting damaged surfaces. Pitting is a sort of fatigue damages and it is made by a repetitive load. For a judgment between damages or not, sensing vibrations of test equipment is simple. However, it is not only difficult to observe a growth of pitting but also impossible to detect the juncture of initial pitting. Therefore, a method for the pitting damaged area measuring technique was effectively implemented by Two Roller Machine. The change of surface damaged area was measured by an optical microscope in regular time and calculated by the use of dark and bright ratio of test specimens' pictures taken by optical microscope. In conclusion, S - N Curves gained by Failure rate - Cycle graph was led and the curves are able to be chosen as occasion demands for a failure area percentage.

Al2024 aluminum alloy specimens were exposed to atmospheric conditions for maximum 24 months and analyzed by electron microscopes to characterize their corrosion behavior and oxide film characteristics. As the exposure time increased from 12 months to 24 months, the number of pitting sites per 1 mm² increased from ~100 to ~200. The uniform oxidation (or non-pitting) region of the 12-month exposure specimen showed 30~120 nm thick oxide layer, whereas the 24-month exposure specimen showed 170~200 nm thick oxide with the local oxygen penetration region up to 1 ㎛ deep. There was no local corrosion area observed in the 12-month exposure specimen except pitting. However, in the 24-month exposure specimen, local oxygen penetration region was observed beneath the uniform oxide layer and near the pitting cavity. Al2024 showed two times thicker uniform oxide layer but much shallower local oxygen penetration region than Al1050, which appears to be related to low Si concentration. Further research is needed on the effects of Mg segregation near the tip of the oxygen penetration region.

Many research efforts on the effect of nitrogen on the corrosion resistance of stainless steels have been reported, but little research has been conducted on the effect of nitrogen for the weldment of stainless steels by the seal-weld method. Therefore, this work focused on the determining the corrosion resistance of tube/tube sheet mock-up specimen for sea water condensers, and elucidating the effect of shielding nitrogen gas on its resistance. The pitting corrosion of autogenously welded specimen propagated preferentially along the dendritic structure. Regardless of the percent of shielding nitrogen gas, the analyzed nitrogen contents were very much lower than that of the bulk specimen. This can be arisen because the nitrogen in shielding gas may partly dissolve into the weldment, but simultaneously during the welding process, nitrogen in the alloy may escape into the atmosphere. However, the pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN) of the interdendrite area was higher than that of the dendrite arm, regardless of the shielding gas percent; and the PREN of the interdendrite area was higher than that of the base metal; the PREN of the dendrite arm was lower than that of the base metal because of the formation of (Cr, Mo) rich phases by welding.

이 연구는 함정 건조 중 국외도입된 물분사 추진기 임펠러 전체에 표면 점식이 확인되어 이에 대한 원인규명을 위하여 수행하였다. 물분사 추진기 임펠러의 재질은 듀플렉스 2205로 일반적인 스테인리스강인 316l 및 317L보다 부식 및 공식에 대한 저항성이 우수하며 높은 기계적 강도를 가지고 있어 각종 해양 구조물 및 해수 담수화 설비에 사용되는 재질이다. 물분사 추진기 임펠러에 표면 점식에 대한 원인분석을 위해 주사전자현미경 관찰 및 분자생태학적 분석 결과를 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫 번째로 주사전자현미경을 통하여 표면 점식이 일어난 부위에서 "S" 성분을 발견할 수 있었고, 두 번째로 분자생태학적 연구결과 부식된 물분사 추진기 임펠러에서 채취한 샘플에 "dsrAB" 유전자가 검출되어, 임펠러 부식은 황산염 환원균에 의한 것으로 판단할 수 있었다. 향후 황산염 환원균에 의한 제품의 손상을 방지하기 위해선 함정 운항 전, 후에 황산염 환원균이 활동하기 어려운 환경인 65℃ 이상의 고온처리 실시, pH5이하 또는 pH9이상 유지, 선체와 추진기의 절연을 통한 과잉전자 생성 방지 등 예방적 관리가 필요하다.

High alloyed stainless steels stand out for a high corrosion resistance due to a protective passive layer which is formed when the content of chromium exceeds 13%. When welding these steels, heat tints arise in the area of the weldment. They may occur from flint yellow to intensive blue in the spectrum depending on the applied welding process and the quality of the backing gas used. Due to their structures, they partly drastically reduce the corrosion resistance of stainless steels so that they may lead to damages of the technical application of welded components. In the following the pitting resistance by different backing gases and the chemical composition of the stainless steel itself are described.

Al6061 aluminum alloy specimens were exposed to atmospheric conditions for maximum 24 months. 24-month exposure specimen showed some more frequent and larger size of corrosion products and pitting on the surface compared with the 12-month exposure specimens. The XRD examination revealed the dominant surface oxide phases of Al₂O₃ and Al(OH)₃. The oxide thickness at uniform oxidation (or non-pitting) region was not much changed over exposure time. The 1.2 ㎛ deep oxygen penetration area was found in the 12-months exposed specimen near the thin uniform aluminum oxide film. The line-EDS was conducted through the penetration regions and non-penetrated grain boundary. There were signs of O and Si concentration through the penetration region, whereas non-penetration region showed no concentration of O or Si. It was confirmed that pitting is a more severe degradation mode in Al6061 (max. >4 ㎛ deep) compared with the uniform oxidation (max. ~200 nm deep) up to 24-months exposure.

In this study, corrosion behavior of a SA178-A alloy used in the boiler tube of a district heating system was investigated in different environments where it was exposed to pure water, district heating (DH) water, and filtered district heating (FDH) water. After the corrosion test, the surface morphology was examined for observation of the number of pitting sites and pitting area fraction, using a scanning electron microscope. The DH water and FDH water conditions resulted in a lower corrosion potential and pitting potential, and revealed a significantly higher corrosion rate than the pure water condition. The pitting sites in the DH water (pH 9.6) were approximately eighteen times larger than those in the pure water (pH 9.6). Compared to the DH water, the corrosion potential became more noble in the FDH water condition, where iron ions were reduced through filtration. However, the corrosion rate increased in the FDH water due to an increased concentration of chloride ions, which deteriorated the stability of passive film.

Recently, the application of bending products has been increased since the industries such as automobile, aerospace, ships, and plants greatly need the usage of pipes. For facility fabrication, bending process is one of key technologies for pipings. Induction heat bending process is composed of bending deformation by repeated local heat and cooling. Because of local heating and compressive strain, detrimental phases may be precipitated and microstructural change can be induced. This work focused on the effect of induction heat bending process on the properties of ASME SA312 TP316 stainless steel. Evaluation was done on the base metal and the bended areas before and after heat treatment. Microstructure analysis, intergranular corrosion test including Huey test, double loop electropotentiokinetic reactivation test, oxalic acid etch test, and anodic polarization test were performed. On the base of microstructural analysis, grain boundaries in bended extrados area were zagged by bending process, but there were no precipitates in grain and grain boundary and the intergranular corrosion rate was similar to that of base metal. However, pitting potentials of bended area were lower than that of the base metal and zagged boundaries was one of the pitting initiation sites. By re-annealing treatment, grain boundary was recovered and pitting potential was similar to that of the base metal.

The fundamental experiments on the phosphorus removal from water were carried out by the batch and continuous reactors which used aluminium and copper plate. In this systems, the phosphorus was removed by aluminium ion generated with the electrochemical interaction (pitting corrosion) of aluminium and copper. In the batch experiments, the efficiencies of phosphorus removal increased when the surfaces of aluminium and copper plate were brushed. The phosphorus removal by aluminium ion was affected the copper plate and NaCI in this system. The optimal pH values were 5 and 6 for the phosphorus removal. The efficiency of phosphorus removal increased with increasing NaCI concentration, surface area of aluminium and copper plate. The $CUSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ instead of copper plate could be used as Cu source. The effluent $PO_4-P$ concentration as low as 2 $mg/{\ell}$ could have been obtained during the continuous experiment at HRT of 48 hrs.
