Four concrete cooling towers at a coal-fired electrical generation plant exhibited reinforcing steel corrosion that was causing concrete deterioration. This case study follows the repairs to those ...

In the last 17 years, she has been working and specializing in geotechnical and concrete corrosion engineering. Ana Juraga has been a content writer at Cortec Corporation for 10 years.

MIT startup Allium Engineering’s stainless-clad rebar aims to triple bridge lifespans, cut carbon emissions and resist ...

CorrVerter MCI Rust Primer data reported 500 hours of corrosion resistance in salt spray testing (ASTM B-117) at only 3-5 mils (75-125 µm) DFT (applied at 8.7-14.5 mils [217.5-362.5 µm] WFT).

When rebar steel rusts, its corrosion products are two to ten times more voluminous than the original steel, generating stresses that exceed the tensile strength of the surrounding concrete ...

Criteria Increases Applications for Company’s Unique Corrosion-Resistant, High-Strength MMFX2 Rebar Product July 16, 2012 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time ...

Utilizing its parent company’s proprietary and patented nanotechnology, MMFX DMCC markets and sells the uncoated corrosion-resistant, high-strength concrete reinforcing steel (“rebar”), MMFX ...

Because of the corrosion issue, concrete made from recycled materials and seawater wouldn’t work with normal steel rebar. So the researchers are also testing a new kind of rebar, made primarily ...

The concrete deterioration likely was due to corrosion of the steel reinforcement, USA Today reported, adding that corrosion leads to an expansion of the rebar, which damages the surrounding concrete.
