Abstract:
Corrosion is the deterioration of metals due to chemical and electrochemical reactions. Corrosion
is a costly problem occurring in metals and alloys and changes their physical, chemical and
electrical properties. Economic loss due to corrosion in Turkiye is about 5% of its gross national
income. Most metals are sensitive to water and air and undergo corrosion even under normal
conditions. Corrosion occurs when oxygen, humidity and electrolytes are present in the medium.
This study investigates corrosion and its reasons in concrete reinforcements.
