Electrochemical Performance of Low-Carbon Steel in Alkaline Model Solutions Containing Hybrid Aggregates

This work reports on the electrochemical performance of low-carbon steel electrodes in model alkaline solutions in the presence of 4.9.10-4 g/l hybrid aggregates i.e. cement extract, containing PDADMAC (poly (diallyl, dimethyl ammonium chloride) / PAA (Poly (acrylic acid)/ PDADMAC over a CaO core. The main objective was to determine if the...

Conventional and Pulse Cathodic Protection of Reinforced Concrete: Electrochemical Approach and Microstructural Investigations

An improved cathodic protection (CP), based on pulse regime was investigated in reinforced concrete, compared to conventional CP. Both regimes used CP current in the range of 2 to15 mA/m2. A voltage-to-current converter maintained the pulse current, the latter adjusted with duty cycle of 12% to 50 % and frequency of 500 Hz to 1 kHz. The...
