Low-alloy steels for reinforcing rods in concrete
Abstract
The corrosion rate of several low-alloy, low-corrosion steels that were developed as candidates for reinforcing rods in concrete, was assessed by the linear polarization (LP) scans and weight loss analysis. The corrosion rate of the reinforcing steel is highly dependent on the passivating oxide film, and the addition of alloying elements forming adherent and stable oxides, can result in a significant improvement in corrosion rate. Small …
