Chemical composion and crystal form of Corrosion products found on archaeological iron objects were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence analysis, micro-X-ray powder diffraction analysis and ion chromatographic technique. The nature and behavior of the corrosion products were studied in order to aid in the conservation and restoration of burial iron objects. Twenty-two samples analyzed in this study were collected from iron object found in Korea and Japan. The corrosion products of iron objects from burial mounds contain $\alpha$-FeOOH, $\beta$-FeOOH, $\gamma$-FeOOH, $Fe_3O_4$and amorphous iron hydroxides. The content of $\alpha$-HeOOH is the greatest. Because, Ageing for long period should change the amorphous iron hydroxides is considerably less than that in usual atmospheric corrosion products. The concentration of chlorine and sulfine is remarkably variable ($Cl^-$ : 100- 30,000ppm, $SO_4^-2$ : 20-10,000ppm),but the reasons are unclear. The presence of generally high concentrations of chlorine and sulfine the corrosion products of iron objects seem to be influenced by the marine climatic condition. The presence of high chlorine and sulfine concentrations in the corrosion products of iron objects seem to be influenced by the marine burial environments.

토양 중에 존재하는 철환원능력을 갖춘 세균은 철제유물의 부식생성물을 에너지원으로 이용할 수 있다. 이러한 세균의 활동은 부식생성물의 변화를 초래하여 유물의 부식을 촉진시키는 부식생성물의 판단을 어렵게 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 철환원세균이 부식생성물에 일으키는 변화를 조사하여, 철제유물의 부식에 관한 이해를 높이고자 한다. 실험은 출토철제유물을 재현하기 위해서 부식촉진인자 중에서 가용성염류(염화물이온, 황산이온)를 이용하여 부식시킨 철편을 준비하였다. 이 부식철편을 세균이 존재하는 배지에서 42일간 배양하였다. 실험 후, 부식철편의 부식생성물은 SEM, EDS, XRD를 이용하여 관찰, 분석을 실시하였다. 관찰결과, 부식철편이 세균의 활동으로 인해 녹색으로 변화하였으며 부식철편에 판상 결정과 마름모꼴 결정이 새롭게 생성된 사실을 알게 되었다.

The transportation and deposition of iron corrosion products are important elements that affect both the steam generator (SG) integrity and secondary system in pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants. Most of iron corrosion products are generated on carbon steel materials due to flow accelerated corrosion (FAC). The several parameters like water chemistry, temperature, hydrodynamic, and steel composition affect FAC. It is well established that the at-temperature pH of the deaerated water system has a first order effect on the FAC rate of carbon steels through nuclear industry researches. In order to reduce transportation and deposition of iron corrosion products, increasing pH(t) tests were applied on secondary system of A, B units. Increasing pH(t) successfully reduced flow accelerated corrosion. The effect of increasing pH(t) to inhibit FAC was identified through the experiment and pH(t) evaluation in this paper.

The pH & alkalinity adjustment method by lime and carbon dioxide($CO_2$) for corrosion control in water distribution system was investigated to evaluate the corrosion characteristics of metal pipes, such as galvanized iron, copper, stainless steel, and carbon steel. When the pH in sand filtered and ozone+GAC treated water was increased with lime and $CO_2$ from 7.5 to 8.0, the concentration of residual chlorine decreased at higher pH and longer reaction time; the concentration of trihalomethane increased. The corrosion rate of coupons with corrosion control using lime and carbon dioxide was showed much smaller than those without corrosion control using pilot-scale simulated distribution system. The galvanized iron was corroded much faster than carbon steel, copper, and stainless steel. Especially, copper and stainless steel coupons were hardly corroded. The galvanized iron and carbon steel coupons with corrosion control were produced the corrosion products less than those without corrosion control by the results of environmental scanning electron microscope(ESEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(EDS) analyses. The galvanized iron coupon with pH and alkalinity adjustment by lime and carbon dioxide was detected about 30 percent of zinc, when the carbon steel was detected about 30 percent of calcium by calcium carbonate products formation. For the results of X-ray diffraction(XRD) analyses, the goethite(${\alpha}$-FeOOH) was identified as primary corrosion product of galvanized iron without corrosion control, while the Zinc oxide(ZnO) was found on corrosion products of galvanized iron coupon with corrosion control as the results of EDS analyses. However, the carbon steel corrosion products regardless of corrosion control were composed predominantly of maghemite(${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$) and hematite(${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$).

The corrosion product of archaeological iron objects is supposed to be removed because it causes re-corrosion. So far it is removed by scapel and sand blaster but they depend on the skill and experience of a conservator and the glass-dust of the sand blaster is harmful to humans. Therefore this study applies a laser cleaning system which is used in various industrial cleaning processes, to remove corrosion product from archaeological iron objects. In addition, this work studies the alternation of corrosion product after laser irradiation, which evaluates the reliability of the laser cleaning system. Optical microscopy, SEM-EDS, XRD, Raman have been used to observe and analyse the surface of the objects. The results show the capacity of laser cleaning some corrosion product, but blackening appears with increasing pulses and laser energy, and some corrosion products, goethite and hematite, are partially altered to magnetite. These problems, blackening and alternation of corrosion product, should be solved by further studies which find the optimal laser irradiation condition and use a wetting agent.

철제유물은 출토되는 순간 급격한 환경변화로 인해 빠른 속도로 부식이 진행되므로 보존처리 과정을 거쳐 부식을 억제한다. 그러나 보존처리가 완료된 철제유물도 재부식이 발생하는 경우가 다수이며, 재부식된 유물의 보존처리는 1차 보존처리 시보다 그 처리가 어렵고 처리기간 또한 길어진다. 본 연구는 보존처리가 완료된 이후 보관과정에서 발생하는 부식생성물을 과학적으로 분석하여 재부식의 요인을 찾고자 하였다. 경주지역의 세 유적에서 출토된 철제유물을 동일한 약품과 방법으로 2002~2009년 동안 보존처리를 완료하였으나, 포장 보관 상태의 일부 철제유물에서 재부식 징후가 관찰되었다. 이중 재부식의 징후가 확인된 단조 철제유물 9점을 선별하여 질량측정, 육안관찰, 현미경을 통한 물리적 변화를 관찰하였고, SEM-EDS, XRD, IC, ICP분석을 통해 화학적 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 유물에서 탈락된 부분의 접면에 형성된 황갈색 부식생성물은 군집한 형상만 다를 뿐 결정상은 공통적으로 침상형이 확인되었으며, 적색에서 황갈색으로 갈수록 침상의 형태가 뚜렷하였다. 보존처리가 완료된 시점의 경과에 따라 부식생성물이 증가할수록 유물의 질량이 증가하였고 염화이온의 농도가 상대적으로 높아지는 경향이 나타났다. 채집된 모든 시료의 부식생성물에 대한 XRD분석에서는 ${\beta}$-FeOOH(akaganeite)이 확인되었고, ICP분석 결과 $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$성분을 확인할 수 있었다.

Pipes and components of the secondary system in the pressurized water reactor (PWR) are mainly comprised of manufactured carbon steel. Thus, the generated carbon steel corrosion products are transported into the steam generator and deposited, thereby deteriorating the integrity of the steam generator. Environmental condition in the secondary system of the PWRs differs across different locations. So, the corrosion rate and types of corrosion products depend on specific locations in the secondary system. In this study, the quantity and chemical compositions of corrosion products generated in various locations that vary in different temperatures and chemistry conditions were investigated. As a result of evaluating the PWR "Unit A" that is in current operation, the amount of corrosion products generated in the section of high temperature feedwater system was identified as the largest source in the secondary system. Major components of corrosion products were iron oxides such as magnetite, hematite, and lepidocrocite.

Excavated archaeological iron artifacts are usually conducted the conservation treatment for removal of chloride ions in the corrosion products. However, some iron artifacts are corroded again even after the conservation treatment due to unremoved chloride ions. Therefore, it is important to prevent desalinized artifacts from the occurrence of corrosion after the treatment. In this paper, we investigated the characteristics of corrosion products on salinized iron artifacts and evaluated the variety of desalination methods such as autoclave, intensive washing and NaOH. It was also found that ${\beta}-FeOOH$ (Akaganeite) played an important role on the occurrence of corrosion and the treatment for removal of chloride ions. The extents of desalination were compared between the desalination methods. Results showed that the autoclave method represented the highest efficiency for desalination while the intensive washing method was the lowest.

Atmospheric corrosion is generally an electrochemical degradation process of metal. It can be caused by various corrosion factors of atmospheric component, weather, and air pollutants. Moisture, particles of sea salts, and sulfur dioxide are major factors in atmospheric corrosion. Galvanizing coating is one of the most efficient ways to protect iron from corrosion by zinc plating on the surface of the iron. Galvanized steels are being widely used in automobiles, building structures, roofing, and other industrial structures due to their high corrosion resistance compared to bare iron. Atmospheric corrosion of galvanized steel has shown complex corrosion behavior depending on coating process, coating thickness, atmospheric environment, and air pollutants. In addition, different types and kinds of corrosion products can be produced depending on the environment. Lifespan of galvanized steels is also affected by the environment. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the corrosion behavior of galvanized steel under atmospheric corrosion at six locations in Korea. When the exposure time was increased, content of zinc from GA surface decreased while contents of iron and oxygen tended to increase. On the other hand, content of iron was constant even after 36 months of exposure of GI.

본 연구는 해저 환경 내에서의 철제유물 부식인자 중 황화물에 의한 부식상태 및 출수 후 대기 중 고습 상태에서의 손상 현상에 대한 것이다. 이를 위하여 충청남도 태안 마도해역 뻘층에서 출수된 철제유물 4점에서 생성된 부식생성물을 대상으로 황화물의 존재 여부를 확인하고자 SEM-EDS 및 XRD 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 해저퇴적토 내에서 형성된 부식생성물은 주요 성분이 황(S)이며 화합물로서 황화철(FeS)이 형성되었고, 해저면에 노출된 상태에서 형성된 부식생성물은 일부 결과를 제외하면 표면을 덮고 있는 응결물(concretion)의 영향으로 뚜렷한 부식 양상이 나타나지 않았다. 출수 후 고습 상태에서 철제유물의 손상 현상을 확인하기 위해 부식생성물을 고습 제습환경에 노출시키는 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과, 고습 환경에서 황화철 부식생성물의 산화는 황산철($FeSO_4$)과 함께 황산($H_2SO_4$)을 생성하여 철제유물을 2차적으로 부식시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 해저 환경에서 출수된 철제유물의 황화철 부식생성물은 반드시 제거하고 유물의 보존 환경도 제습된 상태가 유지되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
