Abstract:
      Surface treatments of thermal spraying Zn metal coatings, epoxy resin coating, and electrodeposited Zn/ passivation were applied on built-in rebar in reinforced concrete. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied to explore the corrosion behavior of the rebar and compare with steel without protection. The results showed that in the concrete-clad condition, the three kinds of coating (plating) layer have significant effect for preventing general corrosion of the rebar; in contrast, epoxy coatings (guarantee coating against mechanical damage or weld damaged) has better corrosion inhibition effect.
