Reinforced concrete (RC) is the building block of modern architecture and industry. The failure of which is costly and dangerous. Typically made with carbon steel rebars, corrosion resistant alloys provide an alternative method of delaying failure. Stainless steels, while more expensive than carbon steels, provide excellent corrosion resistance, but less is known about the long term monitoring of corrosion activity for stainless steel than for carbon steel.

Typically made with carbon steel rebars, corrosion resistant alloys provide an alternative method of delaying failure. Stainless steels, while more expensive than carbon steels, provide excellent corrosion resistance, but less is known about the long term monitoring of corrosion activity for stainless steel than for carbon steel. This study looks at samples prepared between 2005 and 2009 using 304SS, 316SS, and 2304SS rebars, as well as SMI and Stelax stainless steel clad carbon steel reinforcements embedded in three different concrete mixes. These selected samples are split into two exposure environments, inside humidity chambers within the laboratory and outdoor exposure. Measurements reported here were made monthly over the course of 250 plus days using the Galvanostatic Pulse method, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, and a Gecor 8 device. These methods were used to determine corrosion current, isolated corrosion current density, and solution resistance. Corrosion current density values calculated from measurements by the Galvanostatic Pulse and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy method are too small to indicate corrosion, based on value ranges provided by Andrade. However, Gecor 8 corrosion current density values indicate low levels or moderate levels of corrosion for all samples compared to the Andrade’s value ranges. The area used by the Gecor is unknown, so it’s possible this is driving up the measured values.
