Unexpected impairments of the visual appearance of stainless steels under low corrosive conditions are a widespread problem today. Frequently it is supposed that this is caused by changes in the alloy composition, worse environmental conditions or improper handling. Within a research project the systematic investigation of several cases of damaged stainless steel bars has shown that the reasons are based on well-known material defects like chemical inhomogeneities (e.g. precipitations or local carburization) or geometrical defects (e.g. undercuts, rolling defects or shell formation). Thus, the failures could be clearly identified as production failures of the respective semi-finished products.

By means of electrochemical measurements and bar pull-out tests the effect of chromates on the formation of protective coatings at the zinc and the bond behaviour have been investigated using chromate-containing and chromate-reduced cements. The results have shown that the bond zone was affected as a result of chromate reduction for cement types CEM I and CEM II. The disturbance to the bond zone should be considered as long-term in relation to the pore structure which is formed. The effects on the bond are largely compensated for as the concrete ages. The results of the related bond strength with displacement paths of 0.1 and 0.5?mm, respectively, are still within the range of expected figures for non-galvanized reinforcing steel despite the structural disturbance. Under practical aspects it is not necessary that the existing structural disturbance with respect to bond strength is taken into consideration.

T1 - Technische und wirtschaftliche Alternativen zu den klassischen nichtrostenden, austenitischen Stählen unter atmosphärischen Einsatzbedingungen N2 - Durch systematische Labor- und Auslagerungsuntersuchungen ist es möglich, sieben unterschiedliche nichtrostende Stahllegierungen hinsichtlich verschiedenster Anwendungen untereinander und auch in Bezug auf zwei austenitische Standardwerkstoffe (1.4301, 1.4404) zu vergleichen. Die parallele Untersuchung von fünf verschiedenen Oberflächenausführungen der jeweiligen Werkstoffe ermöglicht zudem, branchenspezifische Besonderheiten der Oberflächenausführung beim Werkstoffvergleich zu berücksichtigen. Der Einfluss der Oberflächenausführung wird überwiegend bei den Ergebnissen der Auslagerungsversuche in kritischen Atmosphären sichtbar, weniger bei den elektrochemischen Untersuchungen. Die drei Vertreter aus dem Bereich der Duplexstähle zeigten unter den meisten Untersuchungsbedingungen eine hervorragende Korrosionsbeständigkeit. Insbesondere für Anwendungen im Bauwesen können die Lean-Duplexstähle deutliche Vorteile bieten. Der Manganaustenit 1.4376 sowie der Ferrit 1.4509 sind nur eingeschränkt als Alternativen geeignet, da die Werkstoffe bei einigen Versuchen signifikante Schwächen zeigten.--------------------------------------------------------------------------- The systematic laboratory and field exposure tests allow to compare seven different stainless steels among each other and also regarding two standard austenitic materials (1.4301, 1.4401) with respect to various applications. Parallel investigations with five different surface finishes of the respective materials enable to consider also industry-specific features of the surface finish. The influence of the surface finish can mainly be seen in the results of the exposure tests in critical atmospheres and less in the electrochemical investigations. The three duplex stainless steels showed under most of the test conditions excellent corrosion resistance. Especially for applications in civil engineering the lean duplex steels offer clear advantages. The manganese alloyed 1.4376 and the ferritic steel 1.4509 are only limited suitable as alternatives as these materials showed significant weaknesses in some of the tests.
