In this study, various electrochemical experiments were carried out to compare the corrosion characteristics of AA5052-O, AA5083-H321 and AA6061-T6 in seawater. The electrochemical impedance and potentiostatic polarization measurements showed that the corrosion resistance is decreased in the order of AA5052-O, AA5083-H321 and AA6061-T6, with AA5052-O being the highest resistant. This is closely associated with the property of passive film formed on three tested Al alloys. Based on the slope of Mott-Schottky plots of an n-type semiconductor, the density of oxygen vacancies in the passive film formed on the alloys was determined. This revealed that the defect density is increased in the order of AA5052-O, AA5083-H321 and AA6061-T6. Considering these facts, it is implied that the addition of Mg, Si, and Cu to the Al alloys can degrade the passivity, which is characterized by a passive film structure containing more defect sites, contributing to the decrease in corrosion resistance in seawater.

In this study, anti-corrosion effect was investigated through various electrochemical experiments after applying Al thermal spraying technology to AA5083-H321. Open circuit potential and anodic polarization curves were analyzed through electrochemical experiments in natural seawater. The shape of the surface was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a 3D microscope before and after the experiment. Component and crystal structure were analyzed through EDS and XRD. As a result, the surface roughness of AA5083-H321 and the Al thermal sprayed coating layer increased due to surface damage caused by anodic dissolution reaction during the anodic polarization experiment. The corrosion rate of AA5083-H321 was relatively low because the Al thermal spray coating layer contained structural defects such as pores and crevices. Nevertheless, the open circuit potential of the Al thermal spray coating layer in natural seawater was measured about 0.2 V lower than that of AA5083-H321. Thus, a sacrificial anode protection effect can be expected.

해수중 환경에서 콘크리트 구조물 내에 매립된 철근은 용존산소의 부족으로 부식이 잘 발생하지 않는다. 이 때문에 해수중 환경의 부식촉진시험은 전기화학적인 방법으로 실시되어, 실제 부식 메커니즘과 맞지 않고 장기거동과의 상관성 도출도 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 해수중 환경에서의 부식촉진시험법을 정립하기 위해 온도와 염화물농도를 주된 변수로 부식촉진시험을 실시하였다. 부식의 발생 유무는 갈바닉 전위측정법과 반전지전위법을 통한 철근부식모니터링 결과로 판단하였다. 부식촉진시험 결과 온도의 영향이 가장 지배적이라고 평가되었다. 염화물량은 시험 시편의 깊이별 염화물 농도를 측정하였다. 동일한 조건으로 FEM 내구성 해석 프로그램인 DuCOM을 통해 염화물침투 해석을 실시하여 입증하였다. 또한, 인공해수 침지 조건에 따른 용존 산소량은 실험을 통해 구했으며 이를 통해 부식촉진시험 결과의 타당성을 검증하였다.

The objective of this study is to evaluate corrosive wear resistance of metals used for bearings and gears in seawater. Sliding wear test of ferrous and copper materials against $Al_2O_3$ were carried out in artificial seawater using an electrochemical potentiostat. As the results, the wear rate and the coefficient of friction of the copper materials are lower than those of the ferrous materials. The corrosive wear of stainless steel is remarkably affected by normal load and sliding speed in view of tribological characteristics including adhesion and corrosion products.

Aluminum acts as sacrificial anode and corrosion protection with Al2O3 formation. If the same current on material for Al ships with steel ships supplies, the more hydrogen would be occurred, that result is bring about over-protection. For this reason, the damage by hydrogen embrittlement leads to the serious accident. In this study, we evaluate electrochemical behavior with rotation speed of 5083-H116 Al alloy material for Al ship in seawater. To examine the electrochemical characteristics with rotation speed and its effects on performance, experiments were conducted at four rotation speed. Results of experiments, the corrosion current density and damage were increased by applying the rotation speed compared to static state.

Reinforced-concrete structures built on the seashore or in seawater are damaged from flying-salt of chloride ion in the seawater. Recently many bridges are being constructed under marine enviornment and there are many serious problems of chlofide attack owing to penetration of chloride ion. And up to now it has not only so little a seatch about damage from flying-salt and seawater but also little systematic study outcome about steel corrosion. In this study we investigate the concrete deterioration and steel corrosion of RC bridges on the seashore. Environmental conditions are investigated, and compressive strength, carbonation depth and steel-corrosion degree are measured.

The objective of this study was to evaluate corrosion resistance of additive manufactured 316L stainless steel and alloy 625 powders widely used in corrosion resistance alloys of marine industry in comparison with cast alloys. Directed Energy Deposition (DED) method was used in this work for sample production. DED parameter adjustment was also studied for optimum manufacturing and for minimizing the influence of defects on corrosion property. Additive manufactured alloys showed lower corrosion resistance in seawater compared to cast alloys. The reason for the degradation of anti-corrosion property was speculated to be due to loss of microstructural integrity intrinsic to the additive manufacturing process. Application of heat treatment with various conditions after DED was attempted. The effect of heat treatments was analyzed with a microstructure study. It was found that 316L and alloy 625 produced by the DED process could recover their expected corrosion resistance when heat treated at 1200 ℃.

Protection characteristics of the corroded steel pile which was served as a pier structure over 8 years in seawater have been examined in terms of corrosion potential, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and anodic/cathodic polarization curves. The steel structure was sectioned into two parts, waterline(splash zone, just above the seawater surface) and in-water(underwater), and protection characteristics for the two parts were investigated with the application of cathodic protection(CP) by sacrificial anodes using Zn and Al alloys. The main results obtained were as follows; (1) The corrosion potential of waterline zone was higher than that of in-water, which implied that the corrosion of waterline was more severe than that of in-water, (2) As a result of EIS examination, the transition period from the apparent CP to the substantial CP took about twenty to thirty days according to the corrosion condition.

Al-brass is usually used as the tube material of vessel's heat exchanger for seawater cooling system because it has high thermal conductivity and good mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance due to cuprous oxide (Cu20) layer against seawater. However, Al-brass tubes of heat exchanger for vessel at the actual environment is reported that local corrosion such as stress corrosion cracking occurred by synergism effect between mechanical factor and corrosion environment In this paper, the effect of corrosion environment on the stress corrosion cracking of Al-brass in various NH4OH of 3.5% NaCl solution, under flow by constant displacement tester. Based on the test results, the behavior of polarization, stress corrosion crack propagation and dezincification phenomenon of Al-brass are investigated. The main results are as follows：(1) Increasing range of potential from open circuit potential to repassivation gets lower, as the contain rate of NH4OH gets higher. (2) As contain rate of NH4OH gets higher, SCC of Al-brass is become activation but the protection film(Cu20) of Al-brass is created in 3.5% NaCl solution. (3) According as content of NH4OH increases in 3.5% NaCl solution, the dezincifiction area is spread. It is concluded that dezincification occurred by localized preferential anodic dissolution at stress focusing region.
