An Analysis of the Factors Influencing Electrochemical Measurements of the Condition of Reinforcing Steel in Concrete Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2007-07-16)Electrochemical assessment of the condition of the steel reinforced concrete structures is being carried out increasingly and more regularly, both in the laboratory and in the field. It is important to have enough information ... -
Corrosion of Alternative Grades of Reinforcing Steel in Concrete
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-27)Reinforcing steel in concrete has been used for many years in roads, bridges and other structures to give strength and durability; concrete has only good compressive strength and reinforcing steel gives the tensile strength ... -
Corrosion performance of medical grade NiTi after laser processing
(Elsevier, 2017-09-15)Laser processing of shape memory alloys (SMAs) has great potential to enable the multi-functionality required for complex applications. Achieving this improved functionality often requires laser processing of the SMA's ... -
Crack in Corrosion Flaw Assessment in Thin-Walled Pipe
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-28)Pipelines are a safe and efficient method for transporting high volumes of oil and gas. However, aging pipelines may experience flaws, such as cracks or corrosion. Present approaches include detection, assessment and repair ... -
Effect of Forming Temperature and Sheet Temper on the Brazing Characteristics of Aluminum Alloy Sheet
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)Automotive heat exchangers are fabricated by forming and brazing of multi-layered aluminum (Al) alloy sheets. The Al brazing sheets are comprised of two alloy layers: an AA3xxx core, which provides strength to the assembly, ... -
The effect of pure aluminum cold spray coating on corrosion and corrosion fatigue of magnesium (3% Al-1% Zn) extrusion
(Elsevier, 2017-01-15)Pure aluminum powder was successfully sprayed on AZ31B extrusion flat and round coupons at low temperature. The corrosion and corrosion fatigue behavior of the coated and uncoated samples were examined by performing ... -
Effects of De-icing and Anti-icing Chemicals on the Durability of Reinforcing Steel in Concrete
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-25)Concrete is strong in compression; however, it is quite fragile in tension. To overcome this flaw, concrete is frequently reinforced with bars typically made of low grade, low carbon steel. The environment inside of concrete ... -
Enhancing Corrosion Performance of Laser Modified NiTi Shape Memory Alloy
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-15)Laser processing of NiTi shape memory alloys (SMA) has been identified as having great potential in surface treatment, welding, and novel performance requirement applications. However, discrepancies arise regarding whether ... -
Influence of alloying elements, testing solution and surface roughness on corrosion behaviour of stainless steel reinforcing bars
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-10)The province of Ontario has moved from applying rock salt crystals, predominantly impure sodium chloride, to locally available anti-icing brine solutions with chloride amounts as high as 21%. At the same time, the specified ...
