چکیده

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 depassivation, and method of expression of results. However, most data for carbon steel points to a Cl/OH molar ratio <1.The chloride threshold for stainless steel clad rebar is unknown. The chloride threshold for solid 316LN stainless steel, 316L stainless steel clad, and carbon steel rebar was investigated through current monitoring during potentiostic polarization with comparison to open circuit potentials (in a saturated Ca(OH)2 + NaCl in glass sand bead mixture). Solid 316LN stainless steel rebar was found to have a much higher chloride threshold (i.e. threshold Cl/OH ratio >24) than carbon steel at all potentials investigated (-200, 0.00, and +200 mV vs. SCE). The chloride threshold for 316L clad rebar was highly dependent on defects and the method used to seal the cut end, which exposes the carbon steel core. At best, it was similar to that of solid stainless steel and at worst, it was less than that of carbon steel rebar, owing to elevation in potential due to galvanic coupling between a defective clad layer and the exposed carbon steel core.

Investigation 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...

Corrosion Behavior of Stainless Steel Clad Rebar

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...

08323 - 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,...
