Hot-press forming(HPF) steel can be applied successfully to auto parts because of its superior mechanical properties. However, its resistances to aqueous corrosion and the subsequent hydrogen embrittlement(HE) decrease significantly when the steel is exposed to corrosive environments. Considering that the resistances are greatly dependent on the properties of coating materials formed on the steel surface, the characteristics of the corrosion and hydrogen diffusion behaviors regarding the types of coating material should be clearly understood. Electrochemical polarization and impedance measurements reveal a higher corrosion potential and polarization resistance and a lower corrosion current of the Al-coating compared with Zn-coating. Furthermore, it was expected that the diffusion kinetics of the hydrogen atoms would be much slower in the Al-coating, and this would be due mainly to the much lower diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in the Al-coating with a face-centered cubic structure. The superior surface inhibiting effect of the Al-coating, however, is degraded by the formation of local cracks in the coated layer under severe stress conditions, and therefore further study will be necessary to gain a clearer understanding of the effect of cracks formed on the coated layer on the subsequent corrosion and hydrogen diffusion behaviors.

신갈나무의 생태적 특성을 밝히기 위하여 유식물의 주요 환경요인 중 광, 수분과 영양소를 각각 4구배로 처리하고, 2007년 3월~10월까지 양묘하여 17가지의 형태 및 생태형질을 측정하여 생태적 지위폭을 계산하였다. 그리고 이 지위폭과 상수리나무와 굴참나무와의 생태적 중복역을 비교분석하여 3종의 분포적 특성과 경쟁관계를 생태적으로 해석하고자 하였다. 신갈나무의 생태적 지위폭은 환경요인 중 영양소구배에서 가장 낮았고, 수분구배에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 광
