Problems solved by technology

Meanwhile, the durability problem of steel rebar used as a main structural material becomes increasingly prominent.

The ocean environment is a relatively harsh corrosion environment in the nature, with its special conditions of high temperature, high humidity, and high salinity easily causing corrosion of steel.

Severe corrosion usually occurs in the reinforced concrete structures along the coast of China after 10-15 years on service, which results in damage to the structures, rendering the structures unable to meet their designed service life of 50 years.

Among coated corrosion resistant steel rebar products, epoxy coated steel rebar is researched earliest and used most widely, however, epoxy coated steel rebar has essential disadvantages reflected as: the coating has high brittleness, and is easily damaged and shed off during transporting and processing; defects in the coating might cause concentrated corrosion which leads to severe local corrosion; the bond stress between epoxy coated steel rebar and concrete is reduced as compared to ordinary steel rebar, etc.

But its cost is expensive, at about 6-10 times that of ordinary carbon steel rebar, therefore, it cannot be used for large scale application in engineering, and is normally used only at key positions of structures or in relatively harsh environments.

Furthermore, macro cell corrosion easily occurs when stainless steel rebar is overlapped with ordinary steel rebar, which also adversely affect the service life of structures.

Corrosion resistance performances of these steels are enhanced to a great extent compared to ordinary carbon steel, but they still cannot meet the prolonged service life required in reinforced concrete structures.

Therefore, all of these types of steels cannot be used in oceanic reinforced concrete structures.
