| 摘要： | The aim of this program was the development of a small and completely embeddable microinstrument for corrosivity measurement in concrete. It should contain all the electronics for the electrochemical measurmeents, the means for data transfer between engineer and device, and sensors sensitive to the different corrositivity parameters. The goals of the work reported here were to develop and test the required sensors and electronics in a laboratory setting. Sensors for the measurement of corrosion rate, corrosion potential, chloride concentration, and concrete conductivity were developed and tested in laboratory-scale slabs. The tests included electrochemical chloride driving as a method for test acceleration and wet/dry cycling. The corrosion sensor consists of a piece of reinforcing steel as working electrode, another rebar piece or a platinized Nb-mesh as counterelectrode, and an Ag/AgCl electrode as reference electrode. The conductivity sensor is based on a modified Wenner four-pin method and made of four parallel Au wires. Both sensors work very well. Chloride introduced into the concrete electrochemically induced corrosion on the corrosion sensor, as seen by a decrease in potential and in the polarization resistance. The potentials recovered after more than 1000 h of electrochemical chloride removal, but the corrosion resistance did not regain its original value. The change in chloride content was monitored by a silver/silver chloride chloride sensor. The only present drawback of the microinstrument is the construction of a long-term reliable reference electrode. The best candidates seem to be Ni/W galvanic couple and lead. |
