Corrosion Behavior of Stainless Steel Clad Rebar
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stainless steel clad rebar (SCR) was investigated because it may become a cost-effective means of controlling corrosion in concrete under very aggressive environments. Sound SCR (316L cladding) resisted corrosion in saturated Ca(OH)2 solution (SCS) with up to 5 wt% chloride. Cladding breaks on SCR induced significant corrosion of exposed underlying CS in SCS with only 1 wt% chloride. A computer model using laboratory data as input was constructed to evaluate the extent of galvanic corrosion of SCR. Modeling indicated that concrete resistivity and size of the cladding break are the main controlling factors of galvanic corrosion.

Chloride Threshold Levels in Clad 316L and Solid 316LN Stainless Steel Rebar
Initiation of corrosion on reinforcing bars occurs when a critical chloride concentration is achieved. A universal value for the chloride concentration that causes depassivation has not been agreed upon for carbon steels due to a variety of experimental factors. The chloride threshold depends on the rebar material, rebar surface condition, testing environment, method of detection, definition of...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Corrosion Propagation Characteristics of New Metallic Reinforcing Bars
The life of a concrete bridge exposed to deicing salt or seawater has often been limited by corrosion of the steel reinforcement. The service life of a concrete structure, degraded by corrosion, is considered to be the sum of the initiation and propagation periods. The initiation phase is the time required for sufficient accumulation of aggressive species at the rebar surface to initiate corros...
متن کاملCorrosion Performance of Stainless Steel Clad Rebar in Simulated Pore Water and Concrete
The corrosion performance of stainless steel clad reinforcing bar (SCR) was investigated. Corrosion potential of SCR in various alkaline media as a function of time was measured periodically and corrosion rates were estimated using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). At room temperature, SCR without cladding breaks was free of corrosion for up to one year in all the testing conditions...
متن کامل08323 - Cathodic Behavior of Stainless Steel 316LN Reinforcing Bars In Simulated Concrete Pore Solutions
The high corrosion resistance of stainless steel (SS) reinforcing bars is widely recognized. However, little information is available on how much cathodic current a passive SS rebar assembly could produce to support a local anode as corrosion eventually starts. The ability of SS to perform as a cathode would have a direct impact on the corrosion rate of the anodic region. To address this issue,...

A large number of reinforced concrete structures subjected to chloride ions. Two basicapproaches for preventing corrosion of reinforcing steel embedded in concrete are: Increasing theconsolidation of concrete and using different coating on rebars. In present research steel rebarsare coated in different ways: a) 40 µm of zinc electroplated on steel rebar b) Zinc powder withepoxy paste (zinc rich...
