Description
The objective of this study was to determine whether the presence of undissolved calcium hydroxide at the steel interface helped maintain or delay the breakdown of passivity under adverse conditions, such as the presence of chlorides and carbonation. Saturated calcium hydroxide solution was used as an electrolyte in the test cell, and steel specimens were exposed to a range of chloride ion concentration and carbonation. The results indicate that undissolved calcium hydroxide has an important role in the passivation of reinforcing steel. Also, the critical chloride to hydroxide ratio may be more relevant in characterizing the breakdown of passivity than the threshold value of total or soluble chloride present in the electrolyte. It was noted that in the presence of undissolved calcium hydroxide, steel remained passive for as high a chloride ion concentration as 0.54% (by weight of electrolyte).
