Abstract  

Rebar with and without hot-rolled was prepassivated by immersion in a simulated concrete pore solution or saturated calcium hydroxide solution, as well as anodic polarization. The corrosion resistance of the pretreated rebar was examined by immersion in an artificial rain water for 24 h. The results show that the polished rebar and the rebar with hot-rolled could both be passivated in the two type alkali solutions mentioned above, but the hot-rolled could remarkably reduce the protective performance of the passive films formed on the rebar, and promote the corrosion of rebar in the artificial rain water. All the rebar prepassivated by immersion in the two solutions or anodic polarization in the present work are not able to stand against the corrosion attack of the simulated rainwater for 24 h.

Key words:  rebar      hot-rolled      pre-passivation      corrosion
