Inhibition Effect of Zinc Oxide on the Electrochemical Corrosion of Mild Steel Reinforced Concrete in 0.2M H2SO4
The inhibition effect of zinc oxide on the corrosion behaviour of embedded mild steel rebar in concrete has been investigated by potential measurement, such as pH and gravimetric (weight loss) methods. The results were further analysed using the two-factor ANOVA test. The experiments were performed using zinc oxide as an organic inhibitor in 0.2M H2SO4 solution. Inhibitor concentrations of 25,...
