Abstract

In spite of the numerous studies carried out on carbonation of the concrete, very few data have been published on the mechanism of steel depassivation and the corrosion rates involved in this type of phenomenon. Also some uncertainties remain as to the chemical composition of the pore solution of a carbonated concrete. Random behaviours related with the changes in the corrosion rate of steel during accelerated carbonation of cement mortars have suggested the need to study the process in a more simple medium which allows the isolation of the different parameters. Thus, saturated -base solutions with different additions of KOH and NaOH have been used to simulate the real pore concrete solution. In the present work, simultaneous changes in the pH value, corrosion potential and corrosion rate (measured by means of the determination of the Polarization Resistance) of steel roads have been monitored during accelerated carbonation produced by a constant flux through the solution of gas and/or air.

Resumen

A pesar de los numerosos estudios realizados en torno a la carbonatación del hormigón, son muy pocos los datos publicados acerca del mecanismo de despasivación del acero y las velocidades de corrosión implicadas en el proceso de corrosión por carbonatación. Por otra parte, aún no se conoce la composición de la fase acuosa de un hormigón carbonatado. Cierta erraticidad en los cambios registrados en la velocidad de corrosión del acero durante la carbonatación acelerada de morteros de cemento, puso de manifiesto la necesidad del estudio del proceso en un sistema simplificado que permitiera considerar aisladamente cada uno de los distintos parámetros. A este fin se utilizaron como disoluciones de simulación de la fase acuosa intersticial del hormigón, disoluciones saturadas de con distintas adiciones de NaOH o KOH. En el presente trabajo, se han registrado simultáneamente los cambios en el valor del pH de la disolución, potencial de corrosión y velocidad de corrosión (medida a través de la determinación de la Resistencia de Polarización) de redondos de acero, durante la carbonatación acelerada producida por un flujo constante de gaseoso y/o aire a través de la disolución.
