Influence of Sodium Tungstate and Succinic acid on the Corrosion Resistance of galvanized steel in simulated concrete Pore solution prepared in Sea water.

Corrosion resistance of galvanized steel (GS) in Simulated concrete pore solution (SCPS) prepared in sea water, in the presence of sodium tungstate and succinic acid has been investigated by polarization study. Inclusion of sodium tungstate and also succinic acid in SCPS reduces the corrosion resistance of GS, Hence it is concluded use of sodium tungstate or succinic acid shall be avoided while GS rebar are used in construction of buildings, bridges especially in marine environment.
