| 摘要： | The aim of this program was the development of a small and completely embeddable microinstniment for corrosivity measurement in concrete. It should contain all the electronics for the electrochemical measurements, the means for data transfer between engineer and device, and sensors sensitive to the different corrosivity parameters. The goals of die work reported here were to develop and test the required sensors and electronics in a laboratory setting. Sensors for die measurement of corrosion rate, corrosion potential, chloride concentration, and concrete conductivity were developed and tested in laboratory-scale concrete 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/AgCI 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. Hie change in chloride content was monitored by a silver/silver chloride chloride sensor The only present drawback of the microinstniment is thee construction of a long-term reliable reference electrode. The best candidates seem to be Ni/W galvanic couple and lead. A micropotentiostat coupled to a zero-resistance ammeter and a microgalvanostat based on operational amplifiers were designed: an heart of a complete measurement system, which includes on two double surface mount boards the ASIC, a microprocessor, control circuitry, and connections to the external corrosivity sensors, as well as RF transceiver circuitry for the wireless communication wit the instrument. |
