<strong>CORROSION</strong>:<br />
<strong>What</strong> Do You Need?<br />
• Steel (Fe++)<br />
• Chlorides (Cl-)<br />
• Oxygen (O 2 )<br />
• Water (H 2 O)<br />
or another metal<br />
• OTHER Symbols to know<br />
• Electrons (e-) like a battery corrosion has an electrical current<br />
• Hydroxyl (OH-) basic / alkali available in concrete solution<br />
• Hydrogen (H+) acid – causes the pH to lower<br />
Electrochemical Corrosion Reactions<br />
•Fe ++ + 2Cl - FeCl 2<br />
•FeCl 2 + H 2 O + OH - Fe(OH) 2 + H + + 2Cl -<br />
•2Fe(OH) 2 + ½O 2<br />
-<br />
Fe 2 O 3 + 2H 2 O anode<br />
•½O 2 + H 2 O + 2e - 2 OH - cathode<br />
