The correlation between the damage induced under cyclic contact fatigue and their electrochemical behavior (anodic polarization curves) for different WC-Co-based cemented carbides grades was investigated at the macrometric ...

Samples of ASTM A-706 structural steel embedded in different concretes obtained from mixtures of alkali-activated steel slag and fly ash were exposed to accelerated carbonation under controlled conditions (4% CO2, 65% RH ...

On evaluating the corrosion resistance of concrete, it is frequent to performelectrochemical tests in the so called simulated pore solutions (SPS) to replace tests performed in concrete specimens. Besides, to study the ...

A simple procedure enables to obtain a hole-containing PPy film on SAE 4140 steel in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) solutions. The film characterization was made by electrochemical and morphological studies. ...

The performance of a surface-applied migrating corrosion inhibitor (MCI) based on an alkylaminoalcohol was evaluated on concrete specimens containing reinforcing steel bar (rebar) segments. Two water/cement ratios (w/c's), ...

Portland-polymers composites are promising candidates to be used as cementing material in Northeastern oil wells of Brazil containing heavy oils submitted to steam injection. In this way, it is necessary to evaluate its ...

The corrosion by chlorides is considered by a number of researchers the most dangerous pathological manifestation attacking concrete reinforcements. The assessment of the attacks to the structure by sodium chloride is ...
