Abstract
In this investigation, benzotriazole (BTAH), a well known corrosion inhibitor for copper, has been evaluated as a possible corrosion inhibitor of a carbon steel (CA-50) used as reinforcement in concrete. BTAH was added to a simulated pore solution of an aged concrete with addition of 3.5 wt% NaCl to imitate marine environments. The effect of BTAH in a concentration of 1.5 wt% on the corrosion resistance of CA-50 carbon steel was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization tests. The improvement of the corrosion resistance due to BTAH addition was superior to that associated with nitrite in similar concentration, suggesting that BTAH is a potentially attractive alternative to nitrites for inhibiting corrosion of reinforcement steel in concrete.
