Steel will corrode in most environments. Its behaviour in concrete is addressed. Aspects such as the concrete environment, factors affecting corrosion rates, production realities, deterioration ...

Stainless steel reinforcing bars are used in reinforced concrete construction because of the material’s inherent properties, which may include (depending on the composition) corrosion resistance ...

"There's a huge backlog of infrastructure that needs to be replaced." Engineers develop new steel technology to triple ...

About 100,000 pounds of Allium’s stainless steel-clad rebar have already been used in construction projects around the U.S., and the company believes its process can be quickly scaled alongside ...

This oxide layer gives the steel its characteristic corrosion-resisting properties in most environments. ... Table1 Minimum grade for stainless steel in accordance with SANS 10400-L.

Regular steel is an alloy of 99% iron and between about 0.2% and 1% carbon, while stainless steel typically contains between 62% and 75% iron, up to 1% carbon, and more than 10.5% chromium.

Whether tunnels or retaining walls – many Swiss reinforced concrete structures from the 1960s to the 1980s are at risk. Corrosion can make them unstable. ETH start-up Talpa Inspection has now ...
