1. 10022 - The resistance of stainless steel, partly embedded in concrete, to corrosion by seawater
By G.N. Flint and R.N. Cox, reprinted from Magazine of Concrete Research, Mar 1988. Corrosion resistance of AISI 316 stainless steel- partly embedded in concrete, partly exposed to stagnant seawater, and partly exposed to seawater- has been determined over periods up to a dozen years. Exposure tests were carried out, in full immersion and tidal conditions, on specially designed concrete blocks. Mild steel specimens were also tested for comparison. Corrosion of exposed stainless steel was localized, not extensive, and affected neither the strength nor ductility of the specimens. Contrary to expectation, crevice corrosion occurred on only one of the 42 test specimens, and only after 12.5 years total immersion. It is considered that the alkalinity of the concrete was responsible for minimizing corrosion on both embedded and external areas of stainless steel.

2. 14034 - The resistance of stainless steel, partly embedded in concrete, to corrosion by seawater
By D.B. McDonald, M.R. Sherman, D.W. Pfeifer, and Y.P. Virmani, reprinted from Concrete International, May, 1995. Designers are focusing more attention on the construction of corrosion-resistant reinforced concrete structures. One potential method is to use highly corrosion-resistant reinforcement. Solid stainless steel and stainless steel clad reinforcing bars have been used in Europe for many years. This paper discusses research findings from corrosion studies of these materials, and some recent results from laboratory and field investigations have been reviewed. Costs associated with the use of such bars are also discussed.

4. - SSINA Publication: Stainless steel rebar for construction applications
Rust or corrosion - a familiar sight on America's roads and bridges - frequently is the culprit that triggers the need for repair of the infrastructure. Corrosion-resistant stainless steels extend the life of a construction project in most environments to 100 years. This leaflet covers the corrosion problem in construction infrastructure, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, Why Stainless Steels, and Life Cycle Costing Advantages.
