Abstract

The passivation ability of steels with low chromium contents (4% and 6%) in a solution representative of carbonated-cured concrete matrices was compared to conventional carbon steel rebars. Samples were investigated through multiple electrochemical methods, and the passive film was evaluated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results showed that carbon steel rebars are vulnerable to corroding in carbonated-cured pore solutions, while the low chromium steels showed spontaneous, rapid and effective passivation. The study demonstrated the possibility of producing tailored low chromium steels as a durable alternative to carbon steel while being more affordable than stainless steel, contributing to more sustainable, innovative reinforced concretes.
