Experimental Study on the Effect of Corrosion-inhibiting Admixtures on Chloride Corrosion Resistance of Concrete

Abstract

Compared to the different types of rust inhibitors, The effects of the internal and external coating corrosion inhibitors on the corrosion resistance of concrete were studied. The impact of the mixed rust inhibitor on the working performance, compressive strength and chloride ion permeability coefficient of concrete was investigated. The results show that the working performance, late mechanical properties, and resistance to chlorine salt erosion of concrete are better than those of reference concrete after adding the anti-rust agent. Comparing the effects of 2% and 4% internal rust inhibitors on the corrosion resistance of chloride ions, based on the control group, the chloride ion diffusion coefficient of concrete with 2% and 4% rust inhibitors decreases to the original 15.1% and 37.0%, respectively. Concrete’s chloride ion diffusion coefficient with external rust inhibitor decreases to 62.5%. In addition, the internal corrosion inhibitor has a specific water-reducing component, which reduces the water consumption of concrete and improves the compactness of concrete itself, thus improving the corrosion resistance of concrete.
