Abstract
Corrosion has been the main problem in the concrete structures due to which the pressure is formed in the concrete which points to the cracking and ultimately spalling of the concrete. The inhibitive behavior of ascorbic acid with the combination of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), as an organic inhibitor on the corrosive behavior of Mild Steel, was studied at the concentration of 1M NaCl with 5% of the ascorbic acid (AA). Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) was used for the measurement of the corrosion rate and it was observed that the ascorbic acid revealed some resistance when combined with the GGBS. The results depicted that the combination of both the AA and GGBS was much effective in keeping the resistance to corrosion higher than the control sample. Potentiodynamic Polarization results showed that ascorbic acid is a mixed type inhibitor.
