  • Corrosion behaviour of AlSl 204Cu and AlSl 304 stainless steels in simulated pore solution
    Kocijan, Aleksandra
    The evolution of the passive films on AlSl 204Cu and AlSl 304 stainless steels in simulated pore solution for steel reinforcements in concrete, and with and without the addition of chloride, was ... studied using cyclic voltammetry and potentiodynamic measurements. The passive layers were studied at open-circuit potential by means of X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy. The passive films on both materials predominantly contained Cr-oxides, whereas the Fe-species were markedly depleted. Mn-enrichment was also observed. The addition of chloride ions did not have a significant influence on the composition of the passive layers. The surface morphology of the products formed on the surface of both investigated materials at open-circuit potentional and at high over-potentionals in the presence of chloride was studied using scanning electron microscopy.
