Galvanized Reinforcements in Concrete

  • Chapter
Surface Coatings—2

Abstract

Concrete is a construction material which has proved to be an excellent protective coating for steel. First of all, it provides a physical barrier between steel and the atmosphere; furthermore it also forms a passive film on the steel because the pH of the aqueous solution filling its pores lies between 12 and 14. At this high pH value the steel is in the passive zone of Pourbaix’s diagram.
