Surface applied corrosion inhibitors (SACI) are widely used to mitigate the corrosion process of steel reinforcement in concrete. But they remain controversial as to their effectiveness and the ability to compare materials from different manufacturers and technologies. They are applied onto the surface of hardened concrete and penetrate towards the steel reinforcement. This paper discusses the corrosion inhibition performances of a dual-phase corrosion inhibitor and field surveys through corrosion monitoring the selected structures. The efficiency of the corrosion inhibitor is assessed by selected testing procedures in laboratories.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
