Corrosion Protection in Tap water solution of Carbon Steel Reinforcement Used in Concrete Hydraulic Structure

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate corrosion when using an inhibitor and without it two samples were collected from carbon steel, and each sample consisted of 3 pieces of carbon steel, rebar with a piece of 10, and through that the steel does not suffer from any pre-corrosion processes. In addition, these samples were cut into lengths of 10 cm and then tied with copper wires by using a specific type of welding, which is called dumps. This test was done by using the Potentiostatic polarization test in tap water for inhibitor and non-inhibiter, low carbon steel specimens at 30 °C, with 0.314 cm2 surface areas. Corrosion parameters (corrosion potential, corrosion current, and corrosion rate), extracted from these curves and we conclude the tests and analysis of the results, and as mentioned in the tables of the results, we find that the corrosion resistance of corrosive iron has been improved at good rates (for samples in normal water and salt water, which simulates ambient water in concrete facilities) and this is a good indication for the use of these inhibitors In the future
