Corrosion of reinforcing steel in reinforced concrete structures is placing a significant economic burden on public agencies and private owners. Work investigating the use and affect of improved concrete materials, modernized mixing processes, and refined placement processes has been extensively studied and documented. The benefits from the research are dependent only on the weak link in the production, processing, and placement of the concrete. Quality materials followed by inadequate processing or placement leads to damaged structures. A complimentary approach to improving the corrosion resistance of reinforcement in concrete structures is to microstructurally design the steel to provide required strengths and improved electrochemical characteristics. The objective of this project was to investigate the effects of the production process and resulting microstructure on the mechanical and electrochemical characteristics of steel embedded in concrete. Dual-phase ferritic martensitic (DFM) reinforcing steel was produced 'on-line' for comparison with ASTM A615 and A706 reinforcing steels.
