Electrochemical studies of steel in cement mortar containing chloride and micro-silica
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Steel electrodes have been exposed for 3.5 years in cement mortar with and without chloride and ELKEM micro-silica. Corrosion potentials in mortar without Cl − varied between −0.1 and +0.06 V(SCE), indicating passivity. One percentage of cement weight of Cl − reduced the corrosion potentials to about −0.2 V(SCE). Micro-silica in chloride containing mortar increased the severity of corrosion the first year. However, after 2 years exposure reduction of interconnected porosity and increased resistivity caused by 15% micro-silica, raised the corrosion potentials and counteracted chloride-attack. The polarisation resistance was undefined, the apparent values varying with the technique and parameters used.
