Corrosion of Galvanized Steel in Soils
نویسندگان
چکیده
The results of measurements of the corrosion of galvanized steel and of bare steel and zinc as reference materials after exposure to different soil conditions for a maximum of 13 years are reported. The magnitude and progress of corrosion of galvanized steel as determined by weight loss and pitting is interpreted in terms of the environmental conditions to which the specimens were exposed. From analysis of data on the corrosion of galvanized specimens having different weights of coating, minimum coating requirements for different environmental conditions are suggested.

Electrochemical Impedance Response of Zn and Galvanized Steel Corroding under Marine Atmospheric Environments
Impedance response of zinc and galvanized steel samples exposed in wet-dry cyclic condition using 0.05 M NaCl solution has been analyzed in order to evaluate their corrosion behavior. The wet-dry cyclic test was performed by exposing sample to alternate conditions of 1 h immersion in 0.05 M NaCl solution and 7 h drying at 298 K with relative humidity (RH) of 60% for 10 days consisting of 30 cyc...
متن کاملInvestigation of corrosion behavior of galvanized mild steel by improved Zn acidic bath, containing nano-ZnO particles
In this study, nano-ZnO particles were deposited on mild steel sheets from an acidic zinc bath. These particles were synthesized by using an auto combustion technique. The effect of concentration of nano- ZnO particles on the corrosion behavior of depositions was investigated. The results of salt spray tests and electrochemical measurements showed that corrosion resistance is improved by additi...

P. Pokorný, D. Dobiáš, M. Vokáč – Czech Technical University – Klokner Institute, Prague, Czech Republic This paper evaluates the effect of initial corrosion damage to the surface of the hot dip galvanized steel coating in fresh concrete on its final bond strength. The tests were performed on uncoated and hot-dip galvanized ribbed reinforcements. The measurement of bond stress (τm) according to...
متن کامل08319 - Long Term Corrosion Performance of Soil Reinforcement in Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls
Mechanically stabilized earth walls, MSEW, around Florida were instrumented through their concrete covers to survey corrosion rates of galvanized strip soil reinforcement by polarization measurements. The first broad survey was made 10 years ago as a baseline and a new survey is currently underway to assess long term corrosion rate trends. Initial results of an ongoing survey confirm low rates ...
