Abstract
Corrosion of ASTM A 706 structural steel embedded in concrete obtained from by-products as steel slag and fly ash alkali activated was evaluated. Characterization techniques such as open circuit potential, linear polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a solution of sodium chloride 3.5% were employed. The steel-concrete interface was characterized by transmission Mossbauer spectroscopy at room temperature and X-ray diffraction. The results obtained by the different characterization techniques were compared with values obtained for Portland cement concrete. The corrosion products identified are magnetite (Fe3O4), wuestite (FeO) and goethite (α-FeOOH).
