Early CO2curing acting as a new curing technique is an effective way to cut down on carbon footprint in cement industry. It also improves the strength development and long-term durability of concrete without reinforcement. Given the fact that reinforcement concrete is most widely used in construction and building fields, the carbon sequestration potential will be enhanced remarkably if this curing technology can be used in reinforced concrete. However, the impacts of early CO2curing on the corrosion behavior of steels, which is the major concern for reinforced concrete exposure to chloride, is unclear yet. In this work, the permeability of chloride, threshold chloride value and corrosion behaviors of steels in cement mortar were determined to comprehensively study the effect of early CO2curing on the chloride induced corrosion of steels. Early CO2curing lowers the chloride ions permeability of mortars, in particular for the mortars with 28 day curing ages. Steels take longer time to form stable passive films in early CO2-cured mortar than in conventional moist-cured ones. Early CO2curing reduces the chloride threshold concentration of mortar, in particular for the mortars that the whole cross section is carbonated, the reduction reaches ∼50%. However, it exerts few effects on corrosion induction phase of steel rebar. Moreover, early CO2curing decreases the corrosion rate of steel bars in corrosion propagation phase and thus the overall corrosion rate of steels during the whole testing process due to slower chloride ingress rate. Thus, early CO2curing can act as an alternative curing technique in the production of pre-cast reinforced concrete exposed to chloride. |
