09:00-10:00, Monday, October 14, 2019 Chair: Joo-Youl Huh (Korea University, Korea)     Corrosion has been one of the big issues in the steel industry. Therefore, steel suppliers have developed various corrosion-resistant materials to prevent or to reduce the corrosion damage, satisfying the requirements from the customers. POSCO as a world top steel maker, has supplied the excellent corrosion-resistant and environmental-friendly steel products in global steel industry. Those steel products can be categorized into three groups of the surface treated steels, corrosion-resistant structural steels and stainless steels. Surface treated steels with the protective coating layer such as galvanizing or post organic-resin coating have been developed in the various process and technology to enhance high corrosion resistance and useful performance. Corrosion engineering has been also applied to carbon steel structural steels for shipbuilding applications, sour-resistant linepipe steels, and weathering steels. New stainless steel which can not be easily corroded has been developed to be useful in the specific environment with the effective cost to meet the customer needs. Steel makers are continuously developing new technologies and products to find the solution against the corrosion for the future industry.   Se-Don Choo Executive Vice President, POSCO, Korea   ACADEMIC BACKGROUND • 1992: KAIST, Mat Sci. & Eng (Ph.

We have proposed a rational characterization and quantification concept of damage/performance evolution that incorporate modular elements corresponding to deterministic and probabilistic modelling approach. Distinctive modes of self-healing, and mass transfer blocking based on different properties of the coatings. The presentation includes a versatile library of multifunctional coatings that each bring about a distinctive mode of corrosion control and deploy an experimental-theoretical-computer-driven approach to rapidly leading to the performance of the systems in different corrosive-harsh environments. The effort seeks to combine distinctive aspects of coating design with deterministic and probabilistic damage/performance modelling in extreme environments and predicting operational lifetime for the design coatings/substrate system.   Homero Castaneda-Lopez Professor, Texas A&M University, USA   ABOUT Castaneda-Lopez received his Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Penn State University.

The proportion of carbon steel in the total steel output is about 80%. It is widely used in construction, bridge, railway, vehicle, ship, petroleum chemical industry, marine development and various mechanical manufacturing industries. While increasing the production of low alloy high strength steel and alloy steel, the industrial countries in the world pay great attention to improving the quality of carbon steel, expanding the variety and application range. Among them, improving the corrosion resistance of carbon steel is one of the important research contents in improving the quality of carbon steel. Ferrite + pearlite phases is the most common microstructure of carbon steel, in which pearlite with a typical lamellar structure consisting of alternating layers of ferrite and cementite (Fe3C) plays an important role in the mechanical properties of steel. However, the electrical contact between Fe3C phase as the cathode and ferrite phase as the anode in electrolyte solution can cause the galvanic corrosion, which will promote the deterioration of the corrosion resistance of ferrite-pearlite steel. It is believed that the corrosion resistance of ferrite-pearlite steel can be effectively improved by adjusting its microstructure and micro-alloying. The current study focused on improving the corrosion resistance of ferrite-pearlite steels in an acid solution simulating the COT bottom plate environmental by means of cementite spheroidization and alloying with Cu, Sn and Mo to reduce the galvanic effect between cementite and ferrite phases. Two processes of cyclic spheroidizing annealing and quench + high temperature tempering were adopted to realize cementite spheroidization. Immersion test, X-ray diffraction, micro morphology observation, potentio-dynamic polarization, open circuit potential monitoring and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was utilized. The results show that: 1, with extending the immersion time, the preferential dissolution of the exposed ferrite resulted in a lot of lamellar cementite accumulation on the unspheroidized carbon steel surface, which enhanced the galvanic effect and hence accelerated the corrosion. The promoted anodic dissolution of ferrite phases was controlled by charge transfer process, while the hydrogen evolution reduction occurred on cementite was controlled by the diffusion process. 2, spheroidization and dispersion of cementite can effectively reduce the corrosion acceleration caused by the galvanic effect between ferrite and cementite phases. This can be attributed to the looseness and separation of the spheroidized cementite with the dissolution of the surrounding ferrite, which prevents the increase of the area fraction of cathode to anode. 3, alloying with Cu, Sn and Sn-Mo in the ferrite-pearlite steel can also effectively reduce the corrosion acceleration caused by the galvanic effect between ferrite and cementite phases. Cu precipitates as the nano-sized particles on the steel surface after immersion test, which reduces the galvanic effect between the ferrite and cementite phases. Besides, Sn and Mo should exist as the elementary substance and were uniformly distributed on the steel surface, which can also retard the galvanic corrosion between the ferrite and cementite phases. 4, the spherical dispersion treatment of cementite combining with Cu alloying can further reduce the corrosion acceleration caused by the galvanic effect between ferrite and cementite.     Junhua Dong Professor, Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China   Prof. Junhua Dong is currently working in Institute of Metal Research (IMR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

According to the report of the Organization for Economic Cooperation & the Development (OECD), nearly half of the worlds’ population will inhabit in areas with severe water stress by 2030. Thus, from a viewpoint of saving fresh water, it is important to conduct research on utilization of seawater in various fields including concrete industry. Actually, in japan, based on the experience of 2011 Great Earthquake, many researches were carried out in order to evaluate utilization of seawater in concrete production and saving fresh water for drinking or for life keeping. JCI (Japan Concrete Institute) are doing research activity from 2013. Some research results are introduced in this presentation. From world-wide literature surveys carried out in this JCI activity, it is concluded that many positive opinions are obtained for concrete performance mixed with seawater with mineral admixture, for example, GGBFS or FA. However, relatively negative opinions are concentrated on OPC used concrete without mineral admixtures. As anticipated, the survey shows that a very large number of standards, papers and opinions are absolutely opposed against the use of seawater. While some standards allow the use of seawater for plain concrete, no standards allow the use of seawater for RC. Further, serious degradation has been confirmed to occur as the result of inappropriate mix proportions, fabrication, construction and seawater use. In this presentation, I hope to discuss with many participants on sea water utilization in concrete production based on the experience in Japanese concrete and corrosion engineering. The overnight approval of seawater use in concrete engineering will not be in the world. Some concrete and corrosion engineer only hopes that the use of seawater will be one of the ways to save freshwater resources particularly in countries with freshwater shortages in near future.   Hidenori Hamada Professor, Kyushu University, Japan   Hidenori Hamada is Professor of Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu University.
