Chemical Deposition of Thin Layers on Reinforcing Steel

Abstract:

This paper presents the results of experimental research on the influence of using microcrystalline phosphating process on the OB37 steel used in construction. For this purpose, the samples were immersed in phosphate solution and the structures were characterized using SEM microscope. The results show that the obtained structures, are influenced by pH and immersion time and show a good surface compactity and roughness, which means that the obtained layer on the OB37 reinforcement improves corrosion resistance and adhesion of these reinforcements in the reinforced concrete.
