Reinforcement Corrosion: Cause and Effect

Bare steel reinforcement relies entirely on protection provided by the surrounding concrete. Most obviously, the concrete cover serves as a physical barrier separating the reinforcement from the external environment. Read the full article

Protecting reinforcement by galvanizing

Galvanizing is the process of applying a metallurgically bonded zinc coating to steel by immersion in molten zinc and is used extensively throughout the world for corrosion protection. The coating’s excellent corrosion protection derives from both the low natural corrosion rate of zinc coupled with its ability to extend protection to adjacent exposed steel areas should they be present, an […]
