Abstract
In this study, the surface analysis, cross-section analysis and electrochemical analysis were used to explore the formation mechanism of Nb contents on the passive film of high-strength anti-seismic rebar in simulated concrete pore solution. The passivation experiments confirmed that the addition of Nb promoted the stability and compactness of surface passive film of Nb-containing rebar, and the passivation efficiency of Nb-containing rebar was stronger than that of CS rebar. Firstly, with the decreases of pH, the increases of Nb promoted that the outer layer of the passive film were mainly composed of Fe oxides and Fe oxyhydroxides, the inner layer were mainly composed of Fe oxides and Nb oxides. Secondly, the increases of Nb were beneficial to the formation of Nb oxides, which enhanced the passivation rate of the passive film and inhibited the degradation of Fe oxides, thus enhancing the thickness of surface passive film of Nb-containing rebar.
期刊介绍:
npj Materials Degradation considers basic and applied research that explores all aspects of the degradation of metallic and non-metallic materials. The journal broadly defines ‘materials degradation’ as a reduction in the ability of a material to perform its task in-service as a result of environmental exposure.
The journal covers a broad range of topics including but not limited to:
-Degradation of metals, glasses, minerals, polymers, ceramics, cements and composites in natural and engineered environments, as a result of various stimuli
-Computational and experimental studies of degradation mechanisms and kinetics
-Characterization of degradation by traditional and emerging techniques
-New approaches and technologies for enhancing resistance to degradation
-Inspection and monitoring techniques for materials in-service, such as sensing technologies
