T1 - Steel corrosion in reinforced alkali‐activated materials N2 - The development of alkali‐activated materials (AAMs) as an alternative to Portland cement (PC) has seen significant progress in the past decades. However, there still remains significant uncertainty regarding their long term performance when used in steel‐reinforced structures. The durability of AAMs in such applications depends strongly on the corrosion behaviour of the embedded steel reinforcement, and the experimental data in the literature are limited and in some cases inconsistent. This letter elucidates the role of the chemistry of AAMs on the mechanisms governing passivation and chloride‐induced corrosion of the steel reinforcement, to bring a better understanding of the durability of AAM structures exposed to chloride. The corrosion of the steel reinforcement in AAMs differs significantly from observations in PC; the onset of pitting (or the chloride ‘threshold’ value) depends strongly on the alkalinity, and the redox environment, of these binders. Classifications or standards used to assess the severity of steel corrosion in PC appear not to be directly applicable to AAMs due to important differences in pore solution chemistry and phase assemblage.

T1 - Forschungsprojekt zum Korrosionsverhalten von Edelstählen - BAM und VSM mit neuen Erkenntnissen N2 - Wie kann man verhindern, dass Edelstahl korrodiert? Und welchen Einfluss haben Kornarten und Körnungen von Schleifmitteln auf das Korrosionsverhalten? Diesen Fragen ist die Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) mit Unterstützung der VSM AG zwei Jahre lang auf den Grund gegangen. Heute wurden im VSM Technical Center am Hauptsitz von VSM in Hannover die Ergebnisse vorgestellt. Die zentralen Erkenntnisse: Kornarten und Zusätze im Schleifmittel haben keinen Einfluss auf die Korrosion. Aber: Je feiner die Oberfläche geschliffen ist, desto besser ist der Korrosionsschutz. Dabei ist das Einhalten der Schleiffolge besonders wichtig.

The ability of the mechanically ground surfaces to form a stable passive layer was evaluated by KorroPad test and a modified electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation test based on a single loop (EPR‐SL). Furthermore, the surfaces were characterized by surface analytical methods. The main influence was determined regarding abrasive belt type. Surfaces mechanically ground with granulate abrasive belts constantly had a lower corrosion resistance than surfaces ground with single‐coated grain. The granulate abrasive belts generated more sensitized surface areas and left formations of welded sample material on the mechanically ground surfaces. A post‐treatment with a nonwoven abrasive proved to be an effective finishing process by which the surface defects and sensitized material got removed and the surfaces regained the expected corrosion resistance.
