The two Cu60Ni20Cr20alloys with the different grain size were prepared by conventional casting (CA) and mechanical alloying (MA) through hot pressing. Effect of the grain size on electrochemical corrosion behavior of the two Cu60Ni20Cr20 alloys was also studied in solutions containing chloride ions. Results show that the free corrosion potentials of the two alloys move toward to negative values, corrosion current densities increase and therefore corrosion rates become faster with the increment of chloride ion concentrations. CACu60Ni20Cr20alloy and MACu60Ni20Cr20alloy have passive phenomena in 0.05mol/L Na2SO4 neutral solution, but passive phenomena become weak or disappear when the chloride ions are added. Corrosion rates of the nanocrystalline MACu60Ni20Cr20alloy become slower than those of the coarse grained CACu60Ni20Cr20alloy in solutions containing the same chloride ion concentrations because MACu60Ni20Cr20alloy is able to produce large concentrations of grain boundaries and passive elements is able to diffuse quickly to form the protective film.

Reinforced steel bars (rebar) are extensively used in construction, and the main challenge is in minimizing corrosion due to oxide or passive layer breakdown. In contrast, dual-phase (DP) steel has good corrosion resistance. This study investigated the effect of Cl− ions on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of DP rebar and conventional rebar. Corrosion behavior studies and electrochemical measurements were conducted on DP rebar and conventional rebar in simulated concrete pore solution with different concentrations of Cl− ions. Microstructure analysis, surface morphology analysis, and corroded surface characterization were performed using optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements revealed that DP rebar has good passivity, leading to better corrosion resistance and greater strength compared to ordinary rebar. In addition, DP rebar showed better passivity behavior compared to conventional rebar in alkaline solution. Therefore, the presence of a dual phase (ferrite and martensite) in reinforced concrete structured steel induces good corrosion resistance.
