A lab working on the evaluation and development of coatings that prevent corrosion.
AboutAbout the lab
Investigating corrosion and corrosion protection with electrochemistry.
Lecturer Daisuke Ito's lab uses electrochemical methods to study corrosion protection related to the maintenance and management of facilities such as oil storage tanks.
The lab works on methods for evaluating the degradation of protective coatings applied for corrosion protection, and on developing long-life anticorrosive coatings.
Experimental education and recurrent education for engineers are also subjects of its research.
Key terms
- Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
- An electrochemical measurement method that measures things such as how hard it is for electricity to flow, in order to investigate the state of a coating
- Glass flake
- Thin, small pieces of glass mixed into anticorrosive coatings
- Recurrent education
- Education in which people return to learn again as needed, even after entering the workforce
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on evaluating the degradation of anticorrosive coatings that protect facilities from corrosion, and on developing such coatings. It uses electrochemical methods for evaluation, and also researches experimental education and recurrent education for engineers.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating coating degradation on oil tank bottom plates
Resin-based coatings containing mainly glass flakes are applied to the bottom plates of oil tanks. Because the film is thick, about 1,000 μm, it is difficult to quantitatively grasp how degradation progresses and how well the coating protects against corrosion. The lab therefore studies evaluation using new analysis values from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
*Illustrative imageUltrasound propagating through glass flake coatings
The lab makes test specimens with varying glass flake content and investigates how ultrasound travels through the coating. It has also presented research on monitoring glass flake coatings with digital image correlation.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping tough, long-lasting anticorrosive coatings
Aiming for tough, highly durable anticorrosive coatings, the lab is studying new epoxy-based paints and combinations of substrate surface treatment and new paints. It also works on clarifying the lifting phenomenon that occurs when coatings are applied, and on determining optimal application conditions.
*Illustrative imageExperimental education for engineers
The lab studies experimental education and recurrent education for engineers. Besides practicing recurrent education for beginners using microscale experiments, it has run a practical training course, "Corrosion Protection Technology," which includes laboratory exercises, for engineers related to water utility bureaus since 2011.
