On Comparison between Reinforcement Electricity Accelerated Corrosion and Natural Corrosion of Concrete

Abstract:

Electricity accelerated corrosion is a common method to obtain corroded reinforced concrete specimens in current experimental research, and it has some relevance and differences with natural corrosion. The paper undertakes a detailed comparative research on the relevance and differences of the two corrosion conditions from the corrosion mechanism, the corrosion process, the corrosion rate, the electric flux and corrosion features, and this provide a better understanding of the research achievements based on accelerated corrosion.
