Carbon-based conductive coatings are complex composites, consisting of an organic or inorganic binder and conductive carbon components, for application as anodes in impressed current cathodic protection systems of reinforced concrete structures. The electrochemical properties of three coatings at different humidity and in saturated calcium hydroxide solution were studied by electrochemical methods, such as electrochemical impedance measurement, measuring of open circuit potential over time and galvanostatic polarization.

Investigation of chloride-induced pitting corrosion of steel in concrete with innovative methods
(2016)
The combination of electrochemical and 3D computed tomography (CT) investigations offers the possibility of verifying electrochemical measurements non-destructively. Determining the steel surfaces damaged by pitting corrosion allows developing specimens having damage pattern corresponding to practice. Corrosion phenomena like decoupled pitting corrosion cannot be verified by electrochemical measurements only, but with the combination of those two kinds of investigations it is possible. Another advantage is the minimization of the number of samples. The classical experimental procedure requires the destruction of samples after each damage step.This can be avoided by the use of 3D computed tomography. As long as the corrosion phenomena are completely within the examination zone shown by the 3D computed tomography, the electrochemical measurements can be calculated on an area basis to get the specific corrosion rate or polarization resistance.
Corrosion of galvanized steel in carbonated concrete is different from the corrosion of reinforcement made of carbon steel. This is based on the corrosion mechanism of galvanized steel in dependence of the pH-value of carbonated concrete. To describe the influence of a lower pHvalue on the corrosion activity of galvanized reinforcement, different electrochemical measurements were made. The anodic and cathodic partial reaction were investigated by galvanostatic pulse measurements and potentiodynamic measurements. Especially the galvanostatic pulse measurements can describe the influence of the lower pH-value by the anodic polarization resistance with pt = 20 sec. (polarization time). Additionally, corrosion current measurements were performed, coupled with potential measurements, between galvanized steel in carbonated and non-carbonated concrete. Normally, the potential measurements are an indicator to localize the anodic and cathodic parts of a macro system. In this case the cathode was more negative than the anode before they were coupled. After the coupling of the two specimens the mixed potential was much more positive than the single potential of the galvanized steel in carbonated concrete. It increased up to the potential range of the non-carbonated specimens. This means that in case of carbonated outer areas, the embedded galvanized steel forms the cathodic part of a macro element.
