Polder, R.B. (author)A review is given of research on the durability performance of concrete made with blast furnace slag and fly ash related to chloride induced reinforcement corrosion, carried out in the Netherlands, where slag has been used in cement for almost a century. Results are presented from field studies on concrete in marine environment and laboratory...journal article 2012

Polder, R.B. (author), Leegwater, G. (author), Worm, D. (author), Courage, W. (author)Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete structures causes concrete cracking, steel diameter reduction and eventually loss of safety. In infrastructure this is mainly due to penetration of chloride ions from de-icing or marine salts. Conventional repair means heavy, labour intensive and costly work and economic pressures (time and money) work...conference paper 2012

Koleva, D.A. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)Corrosion in reinforced concrete is a major and costly concern, arising from the higher complexity of involved phenomena on different levels of material science (e.g. electrochemistry, concrete material science) and material properties (macro/micro/ nano). Reinforced cement-based systems (e.g. reinforced mortar and concrete) are multi-phase...journal article 2012

Hu, J. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)This paper reports the main results from the influence of the initially admixed nano-aggregates (0.5 g/l PEO113-b-PS70 micelles previously dissolved in demi-water) on microstructural alterations of the reinforced mortar subjected to chloride induced corrosion. The morphology of hydration/corrosion products at the steel/cement paste interface and...journal article 2011

Fagot, A. (anne.fagot@arcelormittal.com) (author), Schmitt, A. (author)Stray currents are known to promote corrosion of nearby metallic structures. Electrolysis is the responsible phenomenon. Where currents enter the metallic structure, the latter is protected. The construction corrodes at the location where currents exit through the ground to be collected by the substation. The extent of such corrosion has until...conference paper 2010

Boelen, B. (author)Recent developments in various countries have led to the development of new types of polymer coated packaging steel. These materials behave differently in production and end use and are therefore subject of extensive studies. The aim of this research is to understand the influence of deformation of pre-coated packaging steel sheet on real can...doctoral thesis 2009

Lopez De La Cruz, J.M. (author)The techniques presented in this thesis are focused to improve corrosion management by providing a better insight into the nature of corrosion. Spatial statistics and finite element simulations are applied to different corrosion patterns to study possible interaction among pits. In order to achieve reliable results different spatial techniques...doctoral thesis 2008

López De La Cruz, J. (author), Kuniewski, S.P. (author), Van Noortwijk, J.M. (author), Guriérrez, M.A. (author)A method to test the assumption of nonhomogeneous Poisson point processes is implemented to analyze corrosion pit patterns. The method is calibrated with three artificially generated patterns and manages to accurately assess whether a pattern distribution is random, regular, or clustered. The interevent and the nearest-neighbor statistics are...journal article 2008

Vreeburg, J.H.G. (author)The quality of drinking water in the Netherlands meets high standards as is annually reported by the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM)(Versteegh and Dik, 2006). Also the water companies themselves report in the voluntary Benchmark that water quality is one of the least discriminating factors as all the companies ...doctoral thesis 2007

Flores Ramirez, J.R. (author)An investigation concerning the effects of magnesium on the intergranular corrosion susceptibility of AA5XXX aluminium alloys was carried out. In the present work, magnesium is found to be highly mobile in the bulk metal as well as in the aluminium oxide. This mobility is also found to be dependent on the temperature and bulk magnesium...doctoral thesis 2006

Nijdam, T.J. (author)The turbine blades in gas turbine engines need to be protected against high temperature oxidation and corrosion with a coating system. This coating system comprises of a Ni-based superalloy substrate, a NiCoCrAlY bond coating (BC) and an insulating ceramic thermal barrier coating (TBC). Good protection is offered when during service of the...doctoral thesis 2005

Hamer, W.J. (author)Chromate compounds have been widely used to improve the corrosion protection of galvanised steel and aluminium objects in the past decades. The hexavalent chromium in chromate enhances the adherence of coatings to galvanised steel and aluminium. Additionally, if the passive layers on these materials should become damaged, hexavalent chromium...doctoral thesis 2005

Gaal, G.C.M. (author)In the early 20th century, the general idea was that concrete structures would never show deterioration. However, in the 1990s concrete structures showed an increase in number of cracks and area of spalling. Especially spalling of the concrete cover could create a harmful situation to the users. Spalling of the cover is caused by corrosion of...doctoral thesis 2004

Andreatta, F. (author)Aluminium alloys of the 7xxx series (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu) are susceptible to localized types of corrosion like pitting, intergranular corrosion and exfoliation corrosion. This represents a limitation for the application of these alloys in the aerospace components because localized corrosion might have a negative effect on safety and costs.
