Background : Corrosion is one of the most devastating problems faced by most industries. Mild steel has played a vital role in various fields due to the excellent mechanical properties of mild steel such as low density, high strength-to-weight ratios, good environmental stability, high thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Methods and Results : The total phenolic contents (TPC) and total flavonoid contents (TFC) of the methanolic extract of C. grandiflora and R. verniciflua leaf have been examined, and its corrosion inhibition performance was investigated by weight loss and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization measurements. The surface morphology of mild steel was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The percentage composition of polyphenolic compounds was found to be higher in C. grandiflora and R. verniciflua plant extracts, and it was proved to be a superior, eco-friendly, and anti-corrosive inhibitor for mild steel in 1M of H2SO4. The Tafel polarization studies indicate that the plant extract is a mixed-type inhibitor. Scanning electron microscopy/energy -dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies confirmed the formation of a protective film on the metal surface. The corrosion inhibition of the C. grandiflora and R. verniciflua plant extracts was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-visible spectra, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies; these show the strong interaction between the metal surface and the inhibitor. Conclusion : The methanolic extract was prepared the two different plants like C. grandiflora, and R. verniciflua was studied the corrosion inhibition on the mild steel specimen in acidic medium through various methods involving weight loss measurements, EIS, and potentiodynamic polarization. The results shows that the C. grandiflora, and R. verniciflua plant extracts illustrate an effective corrosion inhibitor for mild steel with good anticorrosion properties in acidic environmen

보일러 관의 부식 현상은 오랫동안 다양한 산업분야 걸쳐 제기되어 오는 주요한 문제 중의 하나이다. 특히, 온도는 보일러 관의 부식 현상을 야기시키는 주요한 영향 인자 중에 하나이다. 하지만, 기존의 보일러 시스템의 경우 장기간의 운전으로 인해 온도에 따른 부식 발현을 면밀히 관찰하기에는 부적합한 부분이 있다. 따라서 우리는 기존의 보일러 설비처럼 보일러 관의 내부와 외부 온도조건을 달리하여 제어할 수 있는 장비를 구축하였다. 이를 통해서 다양한 온도 및 환경조건에서 보일러 관의 고온 부식에 대한 실험을 진행할 수 있었다. 결국 FE-SEM(field emission scanning electron microscope), EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer), XRD(X-ray diffraction)를 통한 분석결과로부터 다각적으로 고온 조건에 인한 부식발생기작에 대해 유추할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 weight loss method를 통해서 고온에 따른 부식으로 인한 보일러 관의 두께 및 무게 감량 결과를 통해서 해당 조건에서의 보일러 관의 수명 또한 예측할 수 있었다.

콘크리트는 다공성 건설재료이며, 매립된 철근의 부식은 내구성 및 안전성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 비파괴 검사인 반전위측 정값과 생성된 부식량과의 상관성을 피복두께, 물-시멘트비를 고려하여 도출하는 것이다. 이를 위해, 3가지 수준의 물-시멘트비와 4가지 수준 의 피복두께를 가진 시멘트 모르타르 시편이 제조되었으며, 3가지 수준의 촉진부식기간을 고려하여 부식량 및 반전위를 측정하였다. 습윤상태 에서는 반전위가 크게 증가하였으며, 부식량과 촉진기간은 선형적인 관계를 가지고 있었다. 부식량이 증가할수록, 피복두께가 감소할수록, 물-시멘트비가 증가할수록 반전위는 증가하였다. 전체의 반전위 측정값을 부식량과 비교할 경우 0.67의 낮은 결정계수를 가지고 있었으나 부식 량(촉진기간)을 고려하여 3가지 수준을 고려할 경우 0.90이상의 높은 결정계수를 가지고 있었다. 실내조건과 같이 온도가 일정하고 포화상태 일 경우, 측정된 반전위는 부식량과 선형적인 상관성을 가지고 있었으며, 피복두께, 물-시멘트비, 철근직경, HCP의 측정범위를 알 수 있다면, 매립된 철근의 부식량을 예측할 수 있다고 판단된다.

This study proposes a selection method of a performance evaluation index of waterproofing and anti corrosion materials used in domestic water treatment facilities for material and construction failures based on different usage and environmental conditions to study the possibility of structural performance maintenance. Different types of waterproofing･anti-corrosion materials have been evaluated based on their respective properties, and have been classified into separate categories based on their case studies of material failures in construction. As a result, 12 different performance evaluation indexes have been produced for the performance evaluation method. Among the 12 performance evaluation index 5 were selected with relatively low importance that produced a low value of 60% importance using AHP analysis method, and conclusively proposed 7 performance evaluation index criteria (wet surface adhesion, fatigue resistance, crack resistance, adhesion performance, joint performance, impact resistance, impermeability)

High temperature corrosion is a major issue in waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities because it effects running cost and energy utilization efficiency. Corrosion of heating surfaces in WTE boilers is a complex phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to analyze the high temperature corrosion characteristics of WTE boiler tubes and to determine the influences of high temperature corrosion on heat exchange. Heating surface corrosion samples for this research were obtained from a superheater tube in municipal solid refuse fuel-fired power plant. Surface morphology, microstructure and phase composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The morphology of the heating surface was rough and had porous structures. The chlorine content of the surface was 7.4wt.% and the samples were mainly composed of hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4). The thermal conductivity of the corrosion samples was characterized using thermal conductivity measurements and was found to be 2.33 W/mK at 500oC. This result, which is 17 times less than that of boiler tube carbon steel (40.40 W/mK), indicates that corrosion of WTE boiler tubes is closely related to a decrease in boiler heat exchange efficiency.

There structures are build up due to marine concrete development. These marine concrete long-term exposure to water occurs when the rebar corrosion or cracks destroyed. We study to improve this phenomenon. We had the Salt durability assessment that accompanies.

To properly maintain steel structures, it is important to investigate the corrosivity of structural member. In this study, atmospheric exposure tests were carried out for 1 year using monitoring steel plates (MSP). In addition, atmospheric corrosion environment were also monitored by temperature and humidity sensor, corrosion monitoring (ACM) sensors, etc.

There are various method for evaluating the durability life of concrete structures due to salt damage . The best way is to perform a corrosion test for a rebar embedded in concrete specimen was exposure to marine environment. However, this method has the disadvantage that it takes a long period of time. Also, accelerated corrosion test which was complemented complements the time-consuming weakness is limited to apply because it could not reveal a correlation between long-term exposure test. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to derive a correlation coefficient between cycle drying -wetting accelerated corrosion test and long-term exposure test. Corrosion initiation time was measured in four types of concrete samples, i.e., two samples mixed with fly ash(FA) and blast furnace slag(BS), and the other two samples having two water/cement ratio(W/C = 0.6, 0.35) without admixture(OPC 60 and OPC 35). The accelerated corrosion test was carried out by two case, i.e., one is a cyclic drying-wetting method(case 1), and the other is a artificial seawater ponding test method(case 2). Whether corrosion occurs, it was measures using half-cell potential method. The results indicated that case 1 is to accelerated the corrosion of rebar about 24~36% as compared with case 2, then the corrosion of rebar embedded in concrete occurred according to the order of OPC60, FA, BS, OPC35. Correlation coefficient between accelerated corrosion test and long-term exposure test, case 1 is 4.23 to 5.42, and case 2 is 6.54 to 7.82.
