Enhancing Properties of Reinforcing Steel by Chemical Phosphatation

Abstract:

This paper presents the first results of complex study concerning the protection of reinforcing steel used in concrete structures from civil and industrial buildings. The obtained coatings have multiple purpose, increasing the corrosion resistance but also the adherence with the concrete, improving the overall performance of concrete and its durability.
