A comparison of methods to assess the resistance of reinforcing steel against chloride‐induced corrosion in concrete: Particular consideration of 12% chromium steel

The critical chloride content C crit is an indicator for the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steels in concrete. In this article, several experimental methods for determining the critical chloride content C crit of mild and an alloyed (12% Cr) steel in cementitious materials are compared. The methods used include accelerated polarization tests and tests using more natural (unpolarized) conditions in which chloride ingress occurs by diffusion...
