To understand effects of cooling rates of coating layer on microstructures and corrosion behaviors of hot-dip alloy coated steel sheets (Zn-5%Al-2%Mg) in a neutral aqueous condition with chloride ion, a range of experimental and analytical methods were used in this study. Results showed that a faster cooling rate during solidification decreased the fraction of primary Zn, and increased the fraction of Zn-Al phase. In addition, interlamellar spacing became refined under a faster cooling rate. These modifications of the coating structure had higher open circuit potentials (OCP) with smaller anodic and cathodic current densities in the electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization. Surface analyses after a salt spray test showed that the increase in the Zn-Al phase in the coating formed under a faster cooling rate might have contributed to the formation of simonkolleite (Zn₅(OH)₈Cl₂·H₂O) and hydrotalcite (ZnAl₂(OH)₆Cl₂·H₂O) with a protective nature on the corroded outer surface, thus delaying the formation of red rust.

Many surface protection methods have been developed to apply for constructional steels used under severe corrosive environment. Thermal spray coating has been known to be an attractive technique due to its relatively high coating speed. Furthermore high corrosion resistance of coated film with thermal spray is required to expand its application. Four types of coated films(DFT:300 um) such as pure zinc, pure aluminum and two Al-Zn alloy (Al:Zn=85:15 and Al:Zn=95:5) onto the carbon steel (SS401) were prepared with arc spray, and the corrosion behavior of their samples were evaluated by electrochemical method in this study. Pure aluminum sample showed high corrosion resistance behavior exposed to sea water solution and pure zinc and alloy (Al:Zn=95:5) samples followed pure aluminum sample. The other alloy(Al:Zn=85:15) so called galvalume coated onto the carbon steel ranks the 4th corrosion resistance in this study. The results of porosity ratio of those samples by observation are well matched with the electrochemical data.

강의 부식을 방지하기 위해서 희생양극의 원리를 이용한 아연도금이 사용된다. 순수아연도금은 몇가지 문제점을 가지고 있어 얇으면서 내식성을 증가시키기 위한 방안의 하나로 Zn-Mn 합금도금이 연구되어지고 있다. Zn-Mn 합금도금은 도금 단가가 높음에도 불구하고 고내식성을 요구하는 자동차 부품 등에 적용이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 산성 염화용액에서 Zn-Mn 합금도금을 전착하였다. 이때 염화욕에서 합금도금의 조성에 미치는 전해조건의 영향을 조사하였다. 전류밀도가 증가함에 따라 Zn함량이 감소하고 Mn함량은 증가하였다. 전해액의 온도가 증가함에 따라 Zn함량이 감소하고 Mn함량은 증가하였으며, 음극 분극곡선을 가지고 결과를 설명하였다.

(100-x)Zn xMg alloy films are prepared onto cold-rolled steel substrates; where x ranged from 0 to about 38 atomic %. The alloy films show microcrystalline and grain structures respectively, according to preparation conditions such as composition ratio of zinc and magnesium or gas pressures etc.. And X-ray diffraction analysis indicates not only the presence of Zn-Mg thin films with forced solid solution but also the one of $MgZn_2$ alloy films partly. In addition the influence of Mg/Zn composition ratio and morphology of the Zn-Mg alloy films on corrosion behavior is evaluated by electro-chemical anodic polarization tests in deaerated 3% NaCl solution. From this experimental results, all the prepared Zn-Mg alloy films showed obviously good corrosion resistance to compare with 99.99% Zn and 99.99% Mg Ingots for evaporation metal. It is thought that the Zn-Mg films with effective forced solid solution prepared by plasma enhanced PVD method, produces smaller and denser grain structure so that may improve the formation of homogeneous passive layer in corrosion environment.

The effect of Sr addition on mechanical and bio-corrosion properties of as-cast Mg-3wt.%Zn-0.5wt.%Ca-xwt.%Sr (x = 0.3, 0.6, 0.9) alloys were examined for application as biodegradable implant material. The microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the as-cast Mg-Zn-Ca-Sr alloys were characterized by using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, tensile testing and electrochemical measurement in Hank's solution. The as-cast alloys contained ${\alpha}$-Mg and eutectic $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$ phases, while the alloys contained ${\alpha}$-Mg, $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$ and Mg-Zn-Ca-Sr intermetallic compound when the Sr addition was more than 0.3 wt.%. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation increased with the increasing of Sr content up to 0.6 wt.% but decreased in the 0.9 wt.% Sr-added alloy, whereas the corrosion resistance of 0.3 wt.% Sr-added alloy was superior to other alloys. It was thought that profuse Mg-Zn-Ca-Sr intermetallic compound deteriorated both the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the as-cast alloy.

대부분의 용용융아연도금 설비는 오픈된 공간에서 용융된 아연을 사용하고 있기 때문에 용융된 아연의 용탕에서 발생되는 고온, Zn Fume 등에 의한 산화가 발생되고 있다. 현재 설비에 사용되고 있는 소재는 SM45C(기계구조용 탄소강, KS규격)으로 사용되고 있다. Zn Fume이 집중적으로 발생되고 있는 부분의 설비를 부분적으로 고온, Zn Fume에 강한 재료를 사용한다면 설비의 수명과 성능향상에 도움이 될 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 직접 설계한 Ni 합금과 Inconel 합금을 직접 고온, Zn Fume 환경에서 산화 시켜 각각의 부식성을 확인하여 비교 분석하였으며, 용융아연도금에 사용되는 용탕의 종류를 나누어 용탕에 따른 각 합금의 부식성 등을 확인하여 보았다. 500~700도로 내에 Zn, Al-Zn 용탕을 두고 Ar 가스를 이용하여 용탕에서 직접 버블링하여 Zn fumef를 발생시켜 고온, Zn fume에 의해 강제 부식을 행하는 실험을 하였다. 30일 후의 sample들을 꺼내어 표면의 산화층을 광학현미경, SEM으로 확인하고, 동전위분극 시험을 이용하여 부식성을 분석하였으며, 부식성은 용탕의 종류에 따라 달라지는 모습을 보였다.

An improvement in corrosion resistance of various types of Zn-coated steel sheets is thought to be possible with the addition of fine oxide powder to the coating. In this study the corrosion resistance of the $Al_2O_3$ dispersed Zn-Co-Cr electroplated steel sheet has been investigated and the results were as follows : The corrosion resistance of $Al_2O_3$ dispersed Zn-Co-Cr electroplated steel sheets was improved by increasing the contents of Co and Cr ions, and also $Al_2O_3$ powders in the bath because of the increased amount of Co, Cr and $Al_2O_3$ in deposits. In the $Al_2O_3$ dispersed Zn-Co-Cr electroplated steels sheet, the structure of deposits was changed from fine microstructure as observed in high Co containing deposits to coarse microstructure as in high Cr and $Al_2O_3$ containing deposits. By cold rolling of the $Al_2O_3$ dispersed Zn-Co-Cr electroplated steel sheets to about 2 percent, thr corrosion resistance was improved further.

Corrosion inhibitors based on Zn-Al hydrotalcites containing benzoate (ZnAlHB) with different molar ratios of Zn/Al were prepared with a co-precipitation process. Compositions and structures of the resulting hydrotalcites were studied with suitable spectroscopic methods such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and surface zeta potential measurements, respectively. Results of physico-chemical studies showed that crystallite sizes, compositions of products, and surface electrical properties were significantly changed when the molar ratio of Zn/Al was increased. The release of benzoate from hydrotalcites also differed slightly among samples. Anticorrosion abilities of hydrotalcites intercalated with benzoate at a concentration of 3 g/L on carbon steel were analyzed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), polarization curve, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and SEM. Corrosion inhibition abilities of benzoate modified hydrotalcites in 0.1 M NaCl showed an upward trend with increasing Zn/Al ratio. The reason for the dependence of corrosion resistance on the Zn/Al ratio was discussed, including changes in the microstructure of hydrotalcites such as crystal size, density, uniformity, and formation of ZnO.

강은 자동차 제조업체 및 전기 제품에 많이 사용되고 있으나 부식으로 많은 문제점이 발생한다. 이러한 부식문제를 해결하기 위해 강 위에 아연전기도금을 두껍게 하고 있다. 그러나 아연 도금의 두께가 두꺼워지면 부품 제조 시 크렉이 발생하기 쉬우며, 이로 인해 부식이 더욱더 악화될 수 있다. 이러한 부식 문제를 해결하기 위해 아연과 크롬합금도금에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 염화욕에서 합금도금의 조성에 미치는 전해조건의 영향을 조사하였다. 전류밀도가 증가함에 따라 Zn함량이 감소하고 Cr함량은 증가하였다. 전해액 온도가 증가함에 따라 Zn함량이 감소하고 Cr함량은 증가하였으며, 그 결과는 음극분극곡선으로 가지고 해석되었다.

Ti-6Al-4V alloy have been used for dental implant because of its excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties. However, the integration of such implant in bone was not in good condition to achieve improved osseointergraiton. For solving this problem, calcium phosphate (CaP) has been applied as coating materials on Ti alloy implants for hard tissue applications because its chemical similarity to the inorganic component of human bone, capability of conducting bone formation and strong affinity to the surrounding bone tissue. Various metallic elements, such as strontium (Sr), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), sodium (Na), silicon (Si), silver (Ag), and yttrium (Y) are known to play an important role in the bone formation and also affect bone mineral characteristics, such as crystallinity, degradation behavior, and mechanical properties. Especially, Zn is essential for the growth of the human and Zn coating has a major impact on the improvement of corrosion resistance. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a promising technology to produce porous and firmly adherent inorganic Zn containing $TiO_2(Zn-TiO_2)$coatings on Ti surface, and the a mount of Zn introduced in to the coatings can be optimized by altering the electrolyte composition. In this study, corrosion behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy after plasma electrolytic oxidation in solutions containing Ca, P and Zn were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), AC impedance, and potentiodynamic polarization test. A series of $Zn-TiO_2$ coatings are produced on Ti dental implant using PEO, with the substitution degree, respectively, at 0, 5, 10 and 20%. The potentiodynamic polarization and AC impedance tests for corrosion behaviors were carried out in 0.9% NaCl solution at similar body temperature using a potentiostat with a scan rate of 1.67mV/s and potential range from -1500mV to +2000mV. Also, AC impedance was performed at frequencies ranging from 10MHz to 100kHz for corrosion resistance.
