Corrosion Resistance Of Enamel-Coated Steel Reinforcement For Concrete, Charles Robert Werner
Corrosion Resistance Of Enamel-Coated Steel Reinforcement For Concrete, Charles Robert Werner
Masters Theses
"Originally developed to enhance the bond between concrete and steel, reactive enamel coatings have shown great promise in protecting steel from corrosive environments. However, the corrosion resistance of the material has not yet been tested beyond 40 days. Moreover, when the material was tested, it was applied to smooth steel pins, not deformed steel bars which are commonly used in reinforced concrete structures. Therefore, this study focused on the corrosion resistance of three different enamel coatings, along with a standard epoxy coating, each of which were applied to both smooth and deformed steel bars and included both short-term and long-term …
