Abstract
To address rebar corrosion in existing concrete structures, a multifunctional compound rust inhibitor was developed. This study investigates the impact of this inhibitor on carbon steel rust resistance, as well as the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. The results demonstrate a significant reduction in weight loss of carbon steel when using a multifunctional rust inhibitor, with a rust inhibition efficiency of 82.6%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were employed to observe and analyze the surface elements of carbon steel, both with and without the presence of a rust inhibitor. The findings indicate that the use of a rust inhibitor leads to a smoother and more stable surface film. The results of the experiments on compressive strength, chloride ion electromobility, and the rapid carbonation test of concrete with varying rust inhibitor contents indicate that increasing the amount of rust inhibitor can improve the compressive performance of concrete and can regulate the mobility of chloride ions. Specifically, when the rust inhibitor content reaches 4%, it has a notable positive impact on the performance of concrete, and further increases in content lead to smoother results.
