Abstract

The effect of grain size on the electrochemistry behavior of rebars in 3.5% NaCl solution were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization curves. The Mott-Schottky curves at different potentials were employed to compared the passive film formed on the rebars with different grain size. The results showed that fine-grained rebars had larger impedance value and less corrosion current density than coarse-grained rebars after immersed 14 d, and the corrosion resistance of fine-grained rebar was better. The passive film formed in borate buffer solution behaviored like a classical n-type semiconductor, and the passive ranges of the rebars were all between -0.15 and 0.8 V. The stability and corrosion resistance of the passive film formed on fine-grained rebars were worse than those of coarse-grained rebars at the potential of -0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 V. The subcoat of the film vanished at the potential of 0.5 V. The donor densities was minimum, and the film was most compact and stable.
