Effect of Na 3 PO 4 inhibitor on chloride diffusion in mortar

The penetration of chloride ions by diffusion has become among the most important factors that lead to concrete reinforcement deterioration. To solve the corrosion problem and achieve the expected service life of reinforced concrete structures, many procedures can be employed such as the use of corrosion inhibitors. In this paper a phosphate based inhibitor (Na3PO4·12H2O) has been used to study its effectiveness against corrosion and its...
