Title: METHODS OF DETERMINING CORROSION SUSCEPTIBILITY OF STEEL IN CONCRETE
Accession Number: 00300419
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Several test methods were used to study the effectiveness of calcium nitrite as a corrosion inhibitor in concrete. Measurements of open-circuit potential and of polarization in concrete were found to be useful, provided the steel area studied was completely covered by concrete. Tests in which limewater was used as a substitute for concrete yielded similar results. Induced electrolysis was found to be misleading because of other reactions that occurred. Tests on large slabs (1.8x0.6x0.15 m (6x2x0.5 ft)) that were salted daily showed that calcium nitrite reduced the corrosion susceptibility more than fourfold. /Authors/
