Van Breugel, K. De Wit, J.H.W. Fraaij, A.L.A. Boshkov, N. Faculty Delft University of Technology Date 2007-12-31 Abstract The present study explores the formation of corrosion products on the steel surface in reinforced concrete in conditions of corrosion and subsequent transformation of these layers in conditions of cathodic protection (CP). Of particular interest was to investigate if the introduced pulse CP (as cost- effective alternative of CP) will lead to similar (or even better) transformation of the product layers on the steel surface, compared to conventional techniques. Qualification and quantification of the studied layers was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), visualization of morphology and products distribution was achieved using environmental SEM (ESEM).
