Summary
[edit]DescriptionCorrosion T-rex grows from the steel bar in reinforced concrete.pdf |
English: SEM image of a corroding steel bar in concrete. This SEM image was taken for a corroding rebar in steel-reinforced concrete exposed to a corrosive environment. The corrosion products gradually formed around the steel bar. The shape of the corrosion products looks like a T-rex, which indicates that the corrosion products can be as aggressive as the T-rex and finally lead to the cracking and spalling of concrete.
This image shows the case of chloride-induced steel corrosion [1], which is the major cause of steel corrosion in reinforced concrete. The concrete material was exposed to a chloride-rich environment and the potential of the steel bar was monitored. After severe corrosion was detected, the material was cut and polished for SEM imaging [2]. Steel corrosion in reinforced concrete has significant economic and societal effects. In Switzerland, it causes a loss of 1000 CHF/min[3]. The better understanding of corrosion products transport and precipitation can help us evaluate corrosion induced damage and ensure the durability of concrete structures. |
