티타늄은 표면에 형성되는 보호성 부동태 피막 때문에 일반부식과 해수에서 내식성이 강하지만 염산, 황산, 인산 등의 산에서는 보호성 산화물 피막이 파괴된다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ti에 Al 및 V등을 첨가한 α+β계에 대하여 1066℃와 966℃에서 5시간 용체화 열처리를 실시하고, 이 시편을 550℃, 600℃, 및 650℃에서 각각 1시간, 4시간, 8시간 및 16시간 시효열처리한 후 마이크로비커스 경도를 측정하고, 이 시편을 1N H₂SO₄ 용액에서 전기화학적 분극법으로 부식을 계측하였으며, 분극을 마친 시편의 표면을 현미경 조직사진으로 부식상태를 검토하였다. 시험 결과 용체화열처리한 시편이 모재와 시효열처리한 시편보다 높은 내식성을 나타내며. 용체화 온도가 높고 시간이 길어질수록 내식성은 증가하였다.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the residual carbides and tempered carbides precipitated by tempering treatment after quenching on the pitting corrosion of mod. 440A martensitic stainless steel. In quenched specimens and tempered specimens after quenching of mod. 440A martensitic stainless steel, the volume fraction of the residual carbides and total carbides decreased with the increase of the austenitizing temperature. Pitting resistance increased with the increase of austenitizing temperature. With the increase of the volume fraction of the residual and total carbides, the pitting resistance of mod. 440A martensitic stainless steel was decreased. The pitting resistance of mod. 0.5C-17Cr-0.5Ni 440A martensitic stainless steel had stronger affected by residual carbides than precipitated carbides produced by tempering.

간척지 내 토양은 염분농도 및 함수비가 일반지역에 비해 상당히 높기 때문에 간척지에 매입된 온실의 부재는 높은 부식 환경에 노출된다. 염해의 환경에서는 파이프 골조로 이루어진 온실의 기초 및 기초와 이어진 파이프에 부식을 촉진시키기 때문에 이에 대한 보수/보강 기술개발 및 효율적인 유지 관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 염해의 위험성이 높은 간척지에 적합한 온실의 유지관리, 보수/보강에 대한 기준을 마련하기 위한 기초자료로서 토양염분환경에서 온실부재의 부식속도를 측정하였다. 각 온실파이프는 염분농도가 0%, 0.1%, 0.3% 및 0.5%인 토양 및 수중환경에 관찰기간동안(480일) 노출시켜 부식속도를 측정하였으며, 그 결과 육안으로도 염분 농도에 따른 부식정도의 차이가 뚜렷하게 관찰되었으며, 시험편의 표면이 검은색의 부식현상과 함께 비교적 고르게 부식되는 균일부식의 형태를 나타내었다. 논토양의 경우 염분농도 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5%에서 각각 0.008, 0.027, 0.036, 0.043mm·yr-1로 염분농도가 증가할수록 부식속도가 뚜렷하게 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고 밭토양의 경우, 염 분농도 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5%에서 각각 0.0002, 0.039, 0.040, 0.039mm·yr-1의 부식속도를 나타내었다. 상대적으로 세립질이 많은 논토양에서 부식속도가 더 높은 것으 로 나타났으며, 이는 입경이 작고 고르게 분포하는 토양 에서 부식속도가 높은 일반적인 특성이 그대로 반영된 것으로 판단되었다. 간척지의 경우 토양의 입자의 세립 정도는 일반 내륙지역의 농경지 토양보다 높을 것으로 예상되기 때문에 파이프 부식에 대한 철저한 대비가 있 어야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

원자력 발전소 내·외부 계통의 표면에 침적된 방사성핵종은 원자로 구조재 및 핵분열생성물의 부식생성물 활성화에 의해 생성된다. 특히, 1차계통 내부에서 물과 부식된 표면 사이의 지속적인 마찰은 냉각재와 부식생성물을 혼합하게 만든다. 그 리고 이것들은 계통을 따라 순환한다. 본 논문에서는 설계단계에서 사용되는 1차 계통의 부식생성물과 방사성 핵종의 양을 예측하는 CRUDTRAN, DISER, MIGA-RT 및 CPAIR 코드를 분석하였다. 또한, CRUDTRAN을 이용하여 국내 경수로 1차계통 내 부식생성물 거동을 예측하였다. 본 연구목적은 웨스팅하우스형 원전의 실제 데이터로 계산된 값을 측정값과 비교하여 부 식생성물 평가 모델의 신뢰도를 향상시키는데 있다.

In this work, on-site corrosion behavior of heat resistant tubes of T91, used as components of a superheater in a power plant for up to 25,762 h, has been investigated using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD), with the objectives of studying the composition, phase distribution, and evolution during service. A multi-layer structure of oxide scale was found on both the steamside and the fireside of the tube surface; the phase distribution was in the order of hematite/magnetite/spinel from the outer to the inner matrix on the steamside, and in the order of slag/magnetite/spinel from the outer to the inner matrix on the fireside. The magnetite layer was found to be rich in pores and cracks. The absence of a hematite layer on the fireside was considered to be due to the low oxygen partial pressure in the corrosion environment. The thicknesses of the hematite and of the slag-deposit layer were found to exhibit no significant change with the increase of the service time.

기존 구조물의 손상평가에 관한 연구는 지진 등과 같은 과도한 하중에 의한 손상을 고려하였다. 그러나 구조물은 과도한 하중없이도 장기간의 시간에 따라 염화물, 탄성화 등과 같은 이유로 노후화가 진행되어 구조성능이 저하될 수 있다. 그래서 구조물의 건전도를 효과적으로 관리하기 위해서는 노후화에 의한 구조성능 저하도 검토되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 염화물에 의한 철근의 부식을 노후화 요인으로 고려한다. 철근부식에 의한 재료의 구조성능 저하를 고려하기 위해 부식정도에 따른 철근의 단면적, 항복강도, 파단변형률, 피복 콘크리트 강도 등을 예측한다. 이를 구조모델링에 적용하여 구조부재 및 구조물의 구조성능 저하를 분석한다. 구조부재의 구조성능을 분석하기 위해 모멘트-곡률 해석을 수행한다. 구조물 레벨의 구조성능을 고려하기 위해, 고유치해석을 통한 고유주기와 모드형상을 분석한다. 또한 비선형 정적해석을 통해 구조물의 강도와 변형성능을 분석한다.

The effects of Nb and Cr addition on the microstructure, corrosion and oxide characteristics of Zr based alloys wereinvestigated. The corrosion tests were performed in a pressurized water reactor simulated-loop system at 360oC. Themicrostructures were examined using OM and TEM, and the oxide properties were characterized by low-angle X-ray diffractionand TEM. The corrosion test results up to 360 days revealed that the corrosion rates were considerably affected by Cr contentbut not Nb content. The corrosion resistance of the Zr-xNb-0.1Sn-yCr quaternary alloys was improved by an increasing Nb/Cr ratio. The crystal structure of the precipitates was affected by a variation of the Nb/Cr ratio. The Zr-Nb beta-enrichedprecipitates were mainly formed in the high Nb/Cr ratio alloy while Zr(NbCr)2 precipitates were frequently observed in the lowNb/Cr ratio alloy. The studies of oxide characteristics revealed that the corrosion resistance was related to the crystal structureof the precipitate.

As wrought stainless steel, sintered stainless steel (STS) has excellent high-temperature anti-corrosion even at high temperature of 800ºC and exhibit corrosion resistance in air. The oxidation behavior and oxidation mechanism of the sintered 316L stainless was reported at the high temperature in our previous study. In this study, the effects of additives on high-temperature corrosion resistances were investigated above 800ºC at the various oxides (SiO2, Al2O3, MgO and Y2O3) added STS respectively as an oxidation inhibitor. The morphology of the oxide layers were observed by SEM and the oxides phase and composition were confirmed by XRD and EDX. As a result, the weight of STS 316L sintered body increased sharply at 1000oC and the relative density of specimen decreased as metallic oxide addition increased. Compared with STS 316L sintered parts, weight change ratio corresponding to different oxidation time at 900oC and 1000oC, decreased gradually with the addition of metallic oxide. The best corrosion resistance properties of STS could be improved in case of using Y2O3. The oxidation rate was diminished dramatically by suppression the peeling on oxide layers at Y2O3 added sintered stainless steel.

In this study, nitrogen ions were implanted into STS 316L austenitic stainless steel by plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) to improve the corrosion resistance. The implantation of nitrogen ions was performed with bias voltages of −5, −10, −15, and −20 kV. The implantation time was 240 min and the implantation temperature was kept at room temperature. With nitrogen implantation, the corrosion resistance of 316 L improved in comparison with that of the bare steel. The effects of nitrogen ion implantation on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of the specimen were investigated by the potentiodynamic polarization test, which was conducted in a 0.5 M H2SO4 solution at 70 oC. The phase evolution and texture caused by the nitrogen ion implantation were analyzed by an X-ray diffractometer. It was demonstrated that the samples implanted at lower bias voltages, i.e., 5 kV and 10 kV, showed an expanded austenite phase, γN, and strong (111) texture morphology. Those samples exhibited a better corrosion resistance.

일반적인 3-전극 시스템의 순환전압전류법을 사용하여 유기부식억제제인 트리에탄올아민 (TEA)을 첨가하여 SCM440 강에 대한 전류-전압 곡선을 측정하였다. 그 결과 SCM440 강의 C-V특성 은 순환전압전류법으로부터 산화전류에 기인한 비가역 공정으로 나타났다. 확산계수는 부식억제제 TEA 의 농도를 2.5 x 10-4 M에서 5,0 x 10-4 M로 2배로 증가시킴에 따라 확산계수는 각각 2.561 x 10-6 cm2s-1에서 1.707 x 10-6 cm2s-1로 1.5배로 감소하므로 부식억제효과가 좋음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 전 해질 농도변화에 따르는 효과는 전해질 농도를 0.5 N에서 1.0 N로 증가시키면, 확산계수는 각각 5.12 x 10-6 cm2s-1에서 2.56 x 10-6 cm2s-1로 2배로 감소하므로 1.0 N의 전해질의 사용이 적합하였다.

In this study, we investigated the precipitation behavior of the R-phase precipitated at the initial stage of aging and its effect on the pitting corrosion of 25%Cr-7%Ni-4%Mo super duplex stainless steel. The R-phase in super duplex stainless steel was mainly precipitated at the interface of ferrite/austenite phases and inside of the ferrite phase during the initial stage of aging, and it was transformed into the σ-phase with an increase in aging time. The ferrite phase was decomposed into a new austenite phase and σ-phase. The R phase was an intermetallic compound, which represented a lower Ni and higher Mo than the matrix, and also had a higher Mo and Cr concentration than the σ phase. With an increasing aging time, the pitting potential Ep was increased slowly by the precipitation of the R-phase, and it was then steeply decreased by the precipitation of the σ-phase. The R-phase was decreased the pitting potential, but its effect was smaller than effect of σ-phase.

가압경수로의 일차계통 제염을 위해 개발된 HYBRID 제염제의 재료부식 특성을 틈부식 시험방법을 사용하여 수행하였다. 기존 제염제의 부식특성과 비교하기 위하여 상용 제염제인 OA, CITROX 제염제의 부식특성도 함께 평가하였다. 시험재료 는 가압경수로의 일차계통의 주 재료인 Alloy 600과 304 SS을 대상으로 시험하였다. 틈부식 시험은 가혹조건의 부식시험 으로써 내식성이 강한 원전 구조재료의 건전성을 짧은 시간에 잘 확인할 수 있었다. 시험결과 OA와 CITROX 제염제에서는 crevice 시편 표면에 pitting과 IGA가 나타났으나 HYBRID 제염제에서는 국부부식이 전혀 발생되지 않았다. 무게감소 측정 결과 HYBRID 제염조건에서는 1.3×10-3 μm/h 이하의 매우 낮은 부식속도를 나타내었다. 반면에, OA 제염제의 경우 Alloy 600은 4.0×10-2 μm/h 로 비교적 균일한 부식율을 나타내었으나, 304 SS의 경우 pH = 2.0 이하에서 급격한 가속부식을 나타 내었다. HYBRID 제염제의 경우 일반부식에서뿐만 아니라 crevice 부식조건에서도 거의 부식이 일어나지 않아 PWR 계통 제염 시 산화막 용해 후 제염제가 계통재료에 노출되어도 재료의 건전성이 입증되었다.

In this study, in order to increase surface ability of hardness and corrosion of magnesium alloy, anodizingand sealing with nano-diamond powder was conducted. A porous oxide layer on the magnesium alloy was successfullymade at 85℃ through anodizing. It was found to be significantly more difficult to make a porous oxide layer in themagnesium alloy compared to an aluminum alloy. The oxide layer made below 73℃ by anodizing had no porous layer.The electrolyte used in this study is DOW 17 solution. The surface morphology of the magnesium oxide layer wasinvestigated by a scanning electron microscope. The pores made by anodizing were sealed by water and aqueous nano-diamond powder respectively. The hardness and corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy was increased by the anod-izing and sealing treatment with nano-diamond powder.

Using alkali treatment solution, neutrality treatment solution and acid treatment solution, the surface corrosion layer of copper plates and bronze plates that have been artificially corroded using HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3 solutions were removed. In the case of alkali treatment solution, only air oxidation in the form of black tenorite and white cuproous chloride remained without being removed. In the case of using a neutrality treatment solution, a anhydrous type layer of reddish brown cupric chloride remained without being removed, together with this black and white corrosion substance. In the case of using an acid treatment solution, this red corrosion substance also remained, but all of the oxide was removed on the surface of the specimen that was treated by alternatively using alkali treatment solution and acid treatment solution. In the case of this treatment solution with the order of alkali-acid, oxidation no longer proceeded only through the distilled water cleaning process after treatment, thereby showing that oxidation from the cleaning solution no longer proceeded.

The corrosion resistance of submerged entry nozzle (SEN) materials were investigated for high-class steel manufacturing. Composite samples were fabricated by mixing ZrO2, Al2O3, MgO, mullite, spinel, and carbon. The raw materials were mixed with attrition milling, compacted in a uniaxial pressure of 200MPa and calcined at 1000˚C for 3 h in N2 atmosphere. The bulk density and apparent porosity of the calcined samples were measured by the liquid displacement method in water using Archimedes's principle. The corrosion resistance of the samples were measured by cup test with mold powder at 1550˚C for 2 h. The microstructure and elemental analysis of samples were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), and X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD). The XRD result shows that the starting raw materials were crystalline phase. The microstructure of fabricated specimen was investigated before and after corrosion tests at 1000˚C and 1550˚C for 2h. ZrO2-C composite showed good resistance in the slag corrosion test. Among the composite oxide materials, ZrO2-Al2O3-C and ZrO2-MgO-C showed better resistance than ZrO2-C in the slag corrosion test. The diameter variation index of ZrO2-C refractory was 16.1 at 1000˚C for 2 h. The diameter variation index of the ZrO2-Al2O3-C refractory was larger than that of the ZrO2-C refractory at 1550˚C for 2 h.

Sol-gel 코팅제는 금속 소재의 부식 억제를 위해 다양한 분야에서 활용되어지고 있다. 본 연구의 유/무기 하이브리드 코팅제는 methyl trimethoxy silane 과 alumina sol에 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxy silane을 혼합하여 제조하였다. 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxy silane 의 함량에 따라 sol-gel 공정으로 도장된 박막의 내식성, 경도, 그리고 열안정성을 조사하였다. Electrochemical impedance와 potentiodynamic polarization의 측정 결과로부터 도막의 내식성이 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxy silane의 도막 내 장거리 상호작용에서 기인한 접착력 증가와 crack-free 도막의 형성에 의해 개선되었음을 알 수 있었다.

The coastal area of Republic of Korea is very clean compared to other countries. In this reason, west coastal area of our country is a good place for breeding up a fish such as shrimp. In winter season, the heating system is required for preventing shrimp death caused by freezing in the farm. The heater in the heating system for fishery's farm is operated very severe combating corrosion due to high accumulation by feeding material and high temperature in heated sea water. Almost all manufactured heaters of STS 316L and Ti material are scrapped every year due to heavy corrosion such a general and crevice corrosion. For comparing the general and galvanic corrosion in new heater material, the test material of Zirconium (Zr), Titanium (Ti) and STS 316L are tested by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), current density-time methods and microscopic examination in a 3.5% NaCl solution. The corrosion potential (Ecor) measured by potentiodynamic polarization for Zr, Ti and STS 316L reveals -198, -250 and -450mV, corrosion current density 0.5, 2.5 and 6.5μA/cm2 respectively. The film resistance measured by EIS are Zr 63,000, Ti 39,700 and 316L 3,150Ω, and the current of Zr-Ti couple is 0.03μA, whereas Zr-316L SS is 0.1μA. According to the result of this experiment in 3.5% NaCl solution, Zr is excellent corrosion resistance material than Ti and STS 316L.
