Corrosion-related challenges remain a significant research topic in developing next-generation Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs). To gain a deeper understanding of preventing corrosion in MSRs, previous studies have attempted to improve the corrosion resistance of structural alloys by coating surfaces such as alumina coating. To conduct a corrosion test of coating alloys fully immersed in molten salt, it’s important to ensure that the coating application process is carefully carried out. Ideally, coating all sides of the alloy is necessary to avoid gaps like corners of the alloy, while only applying a one-sided coating alloy can lead to galvanic corrosion with the base metals. Using the droplet shape of eutectic salt applied to only one side of the coating alloy would avoid these problems in conventional corrosion immersion tests, as corrosion would occur solely on the coating surface. Although the droplet method for corrosion tests cannot fully replicate corrosion in the MSRs environment, it offers a valuable tool for comparing and evaluating the corrosion resistance of different coating surfaces of alloys. However, the surface area is important due to the effect of diffusion in the corrosion of alloy in molten salt environments, but it is difficult to unify in the case of droplet tests. Therefore, understanding the droplet-alloy properties and corrosion mechanism is needed to accurately predict and analyze these test systems’ behavior highlighting unity for corrosion tests of different coating surfaces of alloys. To analyze the molten salt droplet behavior on various samples, pelletized eutectic NaCl-MgCl2 was prepared as salt and W-, Mo-coating, and base SS316 as samples. At room temperature, the same mass of pelletized eutectic NaCl-MgCl2 was placed on different samples under an argon atmosphere and heated to a eutectic point of 500°C in a furnace. After every hour, the molten droplets were hardened by rapid cooling at room temperature outside the furnace. The mass loss of salts and the contact area of the samples were measured by mass balance and SEM. The shape, surface area to volume ratio, and evaporation of the droplets of NaCl-MgCl2 per each coating sample and hour were analyzed to identify the optimal mass to equalize the contact coating surface of alloys with salts. Furthermore, We also analyzed whether their results reached saturation of corrosion products through ICP-MS. This will be significant research for the uniformity of the liquid-drop shape corrosion test of the coating sample in molten eutectic salts.

응력부식균열(SCC) 감수성평가를 위한 여러 시험방법들중 저변형율시험방법은 비교적 ?은 시간내에 금속재료의 SCC감수성을 평가하기 위한 효과적인 시험방법이다. 그러나 저변형율 시험방법만으로 SCC과정의 미시적 파괴거동ㅇ르 분석하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 종래, 음향방출(AE)시험은 재료의 파괴과정시 미시균열의 개시 및 전파거동을 감시하는데 유효한 기법으로 잘 알려져 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 저변형율시험과 음향방출시험을 이용하여 SCC의 전파과정과 AE신호 특성사이의 상호관계를 분석하였다. 실험결과, 재료의 미시파괴 과정에서 발생하는 AE신호들은 뚜렷히 시험환경에 의존하였으며, 인공해수중에서 SCC과정시 발생된 AE신호 특성은 Air상태 보다 상당히 크게 나타났다. 그리고 SCC거동은 AE신호의 진폭인자로서 명확하게 평가할 수 있다.

본 연구는 길이 1m의 SD400 D13, D10 철근 시편의 중앙 20cm를에 염화칼슘(CaCl2–10%)과 10V의 전압을 인가하여 부식을 촉진시킨 수, 부식으로 인해 줄어든 단면적과 철근의 인장 거동과의 관계를 파악하기 위한 것이다. 9주 동안의 실험을 통해 평균 15.57%의 단면 손실을 이루었으며, 이때 부식이 진행된 시편에서 항복응력의 저하, 탄성계수 감소 등의 현상이 나타난 것을 확인할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 사용되고 있는 우레탄계, 세라믹계, 폴리실록산계 및 불소수지계 강교량용 도장계를 대상으로 실내 부식실험을 실시하여 도장계별 노화모델을 도출하였다. 상도를 구분하여 각 도장계별로 시험편을 제작하였으며, 직경 0.5, 1, 3, 5 mm의 원형 결함을 도입하였다. ISO 20340를 이용하여 극한환경을 모사한 부식촉진실험을 실시하였다. 도장계별 노화곡선은 원형결함의 노화면적을 기준으로 평가되었다. 노화곡선을 사용하여 공용중인 강교의 도장 사용수명을 평가하기 위하여 촉진배율을 산출하였으며, 촉진배율은 ISO 20340과 ISO 9223의 대기환경 부식속도를 기준으로 산출되었다. 실험결과, 노화진전속도는 원형결함의 크기와 상관없이 증가하였으며, 노화면적이 3%일 때 우레탄 도장계의 노화수명은 C2, C3, C4 및 C5 등급에서 약 31.8, 15.8, 9.9 및 3.9년으로 평가되었다.

Painting system are widely used to prevent corrosion damage The coating method on various corrosion preventive method was usually adopted for the functional ability and excellent appearance.

The deterioration areas were measured depending on corrosion cycle. The deteriorations of newly-built coating were compared with those of re-coating.

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.

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.

This study, depending on the concrete mix material by performing the test on the basis of the wet and dry condition and freeze-thaw, and to elucidate the difference in the corrosion initiation time of there steel, in both environments, it is an object of correlation coefficient derived through the results of the accelerated corrosion test in a laboratory corrosion period of the structure of the marine environment.

해수중 환경에서 콘크리트 구조물 내에 매립된 철근은 용존산소의 부족으로 부식이 잘 발생하지 않는다. 이 때문에 해수중 환경의 부식촉진시험은 전기화학적인 방법으로 실시되어, 실제 부식 메커니즘과 맞지 않고 장기거동과의 상관성 도출도 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 해수중 환경에서의 부식촉진시험법을 정립하기 위해 온도와 염화물농도를 주된 변수로 부식촉진시험을 실시하였다. 부식의 발생 유무는갈바닉 전위측정법과 반전지전위법을 통한 철근부식모니터링 결과로 판단하였다. 부식촉진시험 결과 온도의 영향이 가장 지배적이라고 평가되었다. 염화물량은 시험 시편의 깊이별 염화물 농도를 측정하였다. 동일한 조건으로 FEM 내구성 해석 프로그램인 DuCOM을 통해 염화물침투 해석을 실시하여 입증하였다. 또한, 인공해수 침지 조건에 따른 용존 산소량은 실험을 통해 구했으며 이를 통해 부식촉진시험 결과의 타당성을 검증하였다.
