EFFECT OF ZINC PHOSPHATE CHEMICAL CONVERSION COATING ON CORROSION BEHAVIOUR OF MILD STEEL IN ALKALINE MEDIUM: PROTECTION OF REBARS IN REINFORCED CONCRETE

Effect of zinc phosphate chemical conversion coating on corrosion behaviour of mild steel in alkaline medium: protection of rebars in reinforced concrete

We outline the ability of zinc phosphate coatings, obtained Sweaters by chemical conversion, to protect mild steel rebars against localized corrosion, generated by chloride ions in alkaline media.The corrosion resistance of coated steel, in comparison with uncoated rebars and coated and uncoated steel rebars embedded in mortar, were evaluated by op
