The Lineal Polarization Method For Corrosion Rate Measurement Of Reinforcing Bar Of Concrete In Situ, Ai-Ling Du, Wen-Tao Hou, He-Ming Zhang, Jian-Qun Luo Aug 2000

The Lineal Polarization Method For Corrosion Rate Measurement Of Reinforcing Bar Of Concrete In Situ, Ai-Ling Du, Wen-Tao Hou, He-Ming Zhang, Jian-Qun Luo

Journal of Electrochemistry

A linear polarization method was applied to measure corrosion rate of reinforcing bar of concrete in situ. Generally in the experiment, the area and shape of the reinforcing bar as a working electrode can be changed and adjusted according to our needs. But polarization area cannot be defined when reinforcing bar is polarized in situ, so that a real R p can't be obtained. Thus the purpose of present work is to improve the measurement system. We used the double_ring auxiliary electrodes made by ourselves. The size of the double_ring auxiliary electrodes was adjusted repeatedly until the real polarization area …

Calculation Of Corrosion Rate Of Passive Metals With Charge Curve Analysis Technique, Yuansheng Zhang, Min Gong

Journal of Electrochemistry

This work contains two parts:(1)A charge curve equation having no appro_ximation for passivated metal corrosion systems is derived and compared with the routine charge curve equation,which is virtual only when the polarization is minim(linear range)(2)It is simpler to analyze charge curve data by from of charge differential equation than from charge curve equation.After the charge curve data are measured,the slope of charge curve is computed by numerical differentiation method,then the charge differential equation may be transformed to a set of linear equations using polynomial approximation.The electrochemical parameters of corrosion system would be calculated out from this set of linear equations …
