Corrosion Protection

Corrosion Protection describes the methods utilized to protect the reinforcing steel in concrete. The deterioration of reinforced concrete is principally due to the corrosion of the reinforcements, which occurs when the concrete has lost its ability to protect them. Corrosion inhibitor applications can assist in corrosion protection. Cathodic protection is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell.
