Recently, there has been a new appreciation of aluminum alloys as materials that are capable of reducing the environment load. This is because aluminum alloys are lightweight, easy to recycle, permit miniaturization, and have environmental friendly properties. In this study, we investigated the mechanical and electrochemical properties of 5083F aluminum alloys using slow strain rate test(SSRT) and potentiostatic tests under various potential conditions. In the potentiostatic tests, the current density in the potential range from -0.7 to -1.4V after 1,200 s was low. After considering the results of the potentiostatic tests, maximum tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, time-to-fracture, observation of fractured specimen and fractography analysis, the optimum protection potential range was between -1.3 and -0.7V(Ag/AgCl).

Corrosion damage of boiler, factory equipment and so forth occur quickly due to using of the polluted water, resulting in increasing leak accident. Especially, working life of hot water boiler using the polluted water becomes more short, and energy loss increases. The cathodic protection method is the most economical and reliable one to prevent corrosion damage of steel structures. Mg-base alloys galvanic anode protection of cathodic protection methode is suitable for the application of hot water boiler using water with high specific resistance such as tap water. This paper is studied on the cathodic protection characteristics of hot water boiler. In tap water solution, the measurement of cathodic protection potential according to the time elapsed is carried out, and behavior of cathodic polarization with current change is investigated. The main results obtained are as follows. In hot water boiler shell, the open circuit potential of base metal become less noble than that of weld Bone, and the current density of base metal becomes low than that of weld zone. The further distance from Mg-alloy galvanic anode, the higher cathodic protection potential of hot water boiler appears. And protective potential becomes high according to pass cathodic protection time and after 6∼10 days become stable.

Corrosion is never avoided in the use of materials with various environments. The underwater hull is normally protected against rusting by several coatings of anti-corrosive paint. The purpose of ICCP(Impressed Current Cathodic protection) system is to eliminate the rusting or corrosion, which occurs on metal immersed in seawater. The anode of ICCP system is controlled by an external DC source with converter. The function of anode is to conduct the protective current into seawater. The proposed algorithm includes the harmonic suppression control strategy and the optimum protection strategy and has tried to test the requirement current density for protection, the influence of voltage, the protection potential. This paper was studied the variation of potential and current density with environment factors, time and velocity, and the experimental results will be explained.

A study on the corrosion behavior in case of As-welded and PWHT temperature 55$0^{\circ}C$ of welding part of RE36 steel for marine structure was investigated with parameters such as micro-Vickers hardness, corrosion potential measurement of weld metal(WM), base metal(BM) and heat affected zone(HAZ), both Al anode generating current and Al anode weight loss quantity under sacrificial anode cathodic protection conditions. And also we carried out slow strain rate test(SSRT) in order to research both limiting cathodic polarization potential for hydrogen embrittlement and optimum cathodic protection potential as well as mechanical properties by post-weld heat treatment(PWHT) effect. Hardness of HAZ was the highest among three parts(WM, BM and HAZ) and the highest galvanic corrosion susceptibility was HAZ. And the optimum cathodic polarization potential showing the best mechanical properties by SSRT method was from -770mV to -875mV(SCE). In analysis of SEM fractography, applied cathodic potential from -770mV to -875mV(SCE) it appeared dimple pattern with ductile fracture while it showed transgranular pattern (Q. C : quasicleavage) under -900mV(SCE). However it is suggested that limiting cathodic polarization potential indicating hydrogen embrittlement was under -900mV(SCE).

Recently, it is on the increase interest for Al alloy with new material for ship application to substitute for FRP ship. The reason is thatAl alloy ship has beneficial characteristics such as high sea speed, increase of loadage and easy to recycle compared with FRP ship. In this paper, mechanical and electrochemical properties are investigated by slow strain rate test experiment in various applied potential condition. These results will provide as reference data to design ship by deciding optimum protection potential regard to hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking. In general, Al and Al alloys are not corroded with forming film which has the corrosion resistance property in neutral solution. However, it was observed that formation and destruction of passive film by $Cl^-$ ion in sea water environment. At comparison of current density after 1200 sec in potentiostatic experiment, the current density in the potential range of -0.68 $\~$-1.5 V is shown low value. The low current density means protection potential range. Elongation in applied potential of 0 V was high. However, the corrosion protection application in this condition is impossible potential because the toughness is low value by decreasing strength by active dissolution reaction at parallel part of specimen. The film composed with $CaCO_3$ and $Mg(OH)_2$ has a corrosion resistance property. However, the uniform electrodeposition coating at below -1.6 V potential is not formed since the time to form the uniform electrodeposition coating is short. Therefore, it is concluded that mechanical property is poor because effect by hydrogen gas generation is larger than that of electrodeposition coating. It is concluded that the optimum protection potential range from comparison of_maxim urn tensile strength, elongation and time to fracture is -1.3$\~$0.7 V (SSCE).

The plane bending corrosiion fatigue test for the welded metal parats was performed in the air and in the natural sea water with and without applying cathodic protection. The specimens tested were the weld of SM41 steel plates, SM58 steel plates and of SM41 to SM58, which were all prepared by submerged arc welding. The main results obtained from the experiment are summarized as follows: (1) In case with SM41 and SM58 steel plates, lower value of impact strength, higher value of hardness and more noble electrode potential were observed in the welded metal part than in the HAZ and base metal. Also the lowest hardness zone in the HAZ was observed with SM58 which was not found with SM41. In case with weld specimen of SM41 to SM58, the impact strength and the electrode potential of the welded metal part showed again the lowest and most noble value but the hardness value was located between those of SM41 and SM58 base metal. (2) In the fatigue test, the specimens tested in the air and under the cathodic protection were both cracked in a purely mechanical mode, but the specimens tested without cathodic protection were cracked by the combination of mechanical fracture and electro-chemical corrosion. (3) The corrosion fatigue limit of the welded metal parts of the specimen was increased by the cathodic protection. As the protection potential was varied down to -800 mV vs. SCE the fatigue limit was increased to the value tested in the air, and the maximum fatigue limit appeared at the -1, 000 - -1, 200 mV vs. SCE. However, as the protection potential was further decreased below -1, 200 mV vs.SCE, the fatigue limit of weld of SM58 and of SM41-SM58 joining was decreased but the limit was almost constant in the case of weld of SM41. (4) It is suggested that when designing steel ship the corrosion fatigue limit of welded metal parts should be stressed as a designing strength of the structure of steel ship in addition to the conventional basis considering simply tensile strength of steel and safety factor.

The external corrosion control of buried pipes can be achieved by a combination of coatings and cathodic protection to maximize effectiveness. One of the factors affecting cathodic protection is the environmental soil conditions. Because soil is a kind of electrolyte, the environmental conditions of soil may be changed by the atmospheric environment. Therefore, in this study, changes in environmental soil factors by atmospheric environmental factors were monitored. In cathodic protection, on-potential and off-potential were measured from December 2021 to July 2022. The effects of external environmental factors and soil environmental factors on cathodic protection were analyzed. Changes in outdoor temperature affected soil temperature, and soil conductivity had a proportional relationship with soil humidity, but outdoor humidity and precipitation did not significantly affect humidity and conductivity of the soil. In contrast, in cathodic protection, the on-potential was affected by temperature, humidity, the conductivity of the soil, and the anode used, but the off-potential was little affected by these factors.

The purpose of this study was to discuss the role of mothers in children's privacy protection on the Internet. Specifically, the study explored 1)children's privacy protection efforts on the Internet, 2)types of personal information children provided at Web sites, and 3)the effect of mothers' privacy protection efforts on their children's privacy protection levels. The Internet survey was conducted and total of 153 mothers and their children aged 12-13 were included for statistical analysis. The descriptive statistics and Ordinary Least Squares were used. The results yield that children showed relatively high levels in providing personal information on the Internet, while they have no sufficient competency at privacy protection. The effect of mothers' privacy protection efforts on children's privacy protection was partially supported. The longer hours of Internet use and frequent participation in online events increased the potential consequences of children's privacy invasion. Providing privacy standards for online service providers and marketers targeting children could help protect children's privacy. Moreover, education program targeting parents and children could contribute them reduce potential consequences of children's privacy invasion.
