Abstract

Copper alloys are widely used for casting materials including ship's propellers and pump impellers as they provide high corrosion resistance. In addition, the demand for these alloys is increasing with rapid growth of offshore structures and exploitation of various substitute energy sources. However, they require regular maintenance because of erosion and cavitation damages induced by exposure to marine environment at high speed flows for a long period of time. Water cavitation peening have received attention as one of surface modifications for durability improvement of the copper alloys. This is a environment friendly technology without influence of heat and easily applicable to casting materials. In this research, water cavitation peening was employed in distilled water for copper alloy castings as a function of time and evaluation of corrosion resistance was followed in seawater for the modified surface by using electrochemical methods. The result suggests that the water cavitation peening for 2 minutes was found to be the optimal peening parameter in terms of durability and corrosion resistance.

동합금은 내식성이 우수하기 때문에 선박 프로펠러, 펌프 임펠러등 많은 주물재료로 사용되고 있다. 또한 해양구조물 및 대체에너지 산업의 급성장으로 수요가 증가하는 추세이다. 그러나 해수환경에 장시간 노출되어 고속 회전함에 따라 발생되는 침식 및 캐비테이션 손상 때문에 잦은 수리가 요구된다. 이러한 동합금의 내구성을 향상시키기 위해서 표면개질방법의 하나로 워터캐비테이션피닝 기술이 주목받고 있다. 이 기술은 열영향이 없고 환경친화적이며 주물재료에 특히 유용한 기술이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주물재료인 동합금을 증류수 중에서 워터캐비테이션피닝을 다양한 시간 변수로 실시하였고, 이후 이 재료를 해수중에서 전기화학적 방법을 통해 개질된 표면의 내식성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 재료의 내구성도 향상되며, 내식성도 우수하게 나타난 조건은 2분동안 워터캐비테이션피닝을 실시한 경우였다.
