Patent Description:
Reinforced concrete structures are the most widely used structure form in infrastructure construction. The theoretical service life of the reinforced concrete structures is long, but there are many cases of premature failure of reinforced concrete in practical engineering, which not only increases the maintenance cost, but also causes great waste of energy and resources. According to the investigation, the coastal reinforced concrete structures are affected by high chloride ion and sulfate contents and harsh environments such as high temperature and high humidity, so after they are put in use for <NUM>-<NUM> years, serious corrosion damage may generally occur, and they are far from achieving the designed theoretical service life.

Concrete in the reinforced concrete structures belongs to a strong alkaline environment. In this alkaline environment, the surfaces of steel bars will be passivated to form a layer of stable metal oxide passivation film. In the practical use of the reinforced concrete structures, the dissolution and repair of the passivation film are theoretically in a nearly balanced state, so that the potential of various positions on the surface of the steel bars is basically consistent, thus ensuring that the steel bars are difficult to corrode or the corrosion rate is very low. However, when the passivation film on the surfaces of the steel bars is damaged by external corrosive substances, for example, in the marine environment, when active chloride ions on the passivation film on the surfaces of the steel bars reach a certain concentration, the dissolution and repair of the passivation film lose balance, the dissolution of the passivation film is accelerated, and corrosion pits are formed, so that steel bar matrixes may be exposed to corrosive media, and the failure of the reinforced concrete structures may be finally caused.

Although a certain effect may be achieved on prolonging the service life of the reinforced concrete structures by measures of corrosion inhibitors, surface protection layers, cathodic protection, coated steel bars, etc., as the core of reinforced concrete structures, improving the corrosion-resistant performance of matrixes of the steel bars is the key to the solution of the corrosion damage problem of the reinforced concrete structures.

In addition, besides the corrosion-resistant performance, the mechanical performance, welding performance, production and manufacturing costs of the steel bars are also important aspects affecting the practical production and application of the steel bars. For example, stainless-steel bars are a common type of steel bars with good corrosion-resistant performance. By adding a great number of alloy elements such as Cr, Ni and Mo, the corrosion-resistant performance of the stainless-steel bars may be greatly improved through being compared with that of common carbon-steel bars, and the corrosion-resistant performance is excellent. However, due to the addition of a great number of alloy elements into the stainless-steel bars, the welding performance of the stainless-steel bars is very poor, the welding construction cost of the stainless-steel bars in practical construction is very high, and there is also a risk of instability of the reinforced concrete structures due to poor welding. At the same time, due to the addition of a great number of alloy elements into the stainless-steel bars, the raw material cost and production cost of the stainless-steel bars are exponentially increased through being compared with those of ordinary steel bars. Therefore, the stainless-steel bars cannot be widely applied due to their high price, and do not conform to the social requirements of energy saving and consumption reduction. In addition, there is still a controversy about whether the macro cell corrosion will occur or not under the condition of overlapping of the stainless-steel bars and ordinary steel bars.

Therefore, how to ensure the corrosion-resistant performance, mechanical performance, welding performance and cost at the same time will be an important subject in the research of corrosion-resistant steel bars with significant social significance and economic effects.

Therefore, the influence of the micro-structure and the proportions of the ferrite and bainite of the micro-structure on the steel bar was further embodied in two aspects: the first aspect was the mechanical performance, the proper yield strength and good percentage elongation including the percentage elongation after fracture and the percentage total extension at maximum force can be ensured through the proportion control of the ferrite and bainite in this embodiment, and the good comprehensive mechanical performance was ensured. The other aspect was the corrosion-resistant performance, and the corrosion-resistant performance of the steel bar can be improved by ensuring a certain bainite tissue proportion.

Specifically, in an aspect of the mechanical performance, the steel bar was a <NUM> MPa or greater steel bar with a yield strength greater than or equal to <NUM> MPa, a tensile strength greater than or equal to <NUM> MPa, a percentage elongation after fracture greater than or equal to <NUM>%, and a percentage total extension at maximum force greater than or equal to <NUM>%.

Specifically, An A-type inclusion, B-type inclusion, C-type inclusion and D-type inclusion of the steel bar at the standard of GB/T10561 were all less than or equal to <NUM> level. Therefore, the toughness of the steel bar under the low-temperature condition can be improved, and the mechanical performance of the steel bar was favorably ensured.

A specific method of the used periodic infiltration corrosion test was as follows: a treated sample was put into a periodic infiltration test tank, the test was performed according to a corrosion test method of a YB/T4367 steel bar in a chloride ion environment, a solution was <NUM>±<NUM>(wt%) NaCl, a pH value was <NUM>-<NUM>, a temperature of the solution was <NUM>±<NUM>, a drying temperature was <NUM>±<NUM>, the test was continuously performed, and an average weight loss corrosion rate at <NUM> was obtained.

A specific method of the used electrochemical corrosion test was as follows: the electrochemical corrosion test was performed according to <CIT>"Corrosion of metals and alloys-Electrochemical test methods-Guidelines for conducting potentiostatic and potentiodynamic polarization measurements", a three-electrode system was used, a reference electrode was a saturated calomel electrode, an auxiliary electrode was a Pt sheet, and a test solution was a simulated concrete pore fluid with the chloride ion concentration greater than or equal to <NUM> mol/L; a polarization curve test scanning range was -<NUM> mV to <NUM> mV relative to the sample self-corrosion potential, and a scanning frequency was <NUM> mV/s; and an electrochemical impedance test scanning frequency range was <NUM>-<NUM>-<NUM><NUM> Hz, and an alternating current excitation signal amplitude value was ±<NUM> mV.

Therefore, in an aspect of the corrosion-resistant performance, the steel bar had excellent corrosion-resistant performance, and under the condition of performing the corrosion performance test in a simulated sea water solution, each index was much better than that of an ordinary thread steel bar of the same level.

In an aspect of the welding performance, the steel bar was easy to weld. When the two steel bars were connected into a welded sample through electric slag pressure welding, a welding point structure was firm, breaking cannot easily occur, a breaking point of the welded sample in a tensile test was formed in a base material position of the two steel bars instead of a welding point position.

Preferably, in this embodiment, a nominal diameter of the steel bar was <NUM>-<NUM>.

When the nominal diameter of the steel bar was <NUM>-<NUM>, the steel bar was made into a coiled steel bar; and when the nominal diameter of the steel bar was <NUM>-<NUM>, the steel bar was made into a straight steel bar. Therefore, the requirement of ocean engineering on the steel bar can be met. Additionally, through the design of the diameter, the comprehensive mechanical performance and corrosion-resistant performance of the steel bar structure can be improved.

According to this embodiment, a corrosion-resistant steel bar was provided, and was particularly a hot rolled ribbed steel bar suitable for ocean engineering. The corrosion-resistant steel bar mainly differed from the first embodiment in that: any one or more of <NUM>-<NUM>% of V, <NUM>-<NUM>% of Ti, <NUM>-<NUM>% of Al and <NUM>-<NUM>% of B were further added to chemical ingredients to further improve the performance of the steel bar.

In the chemical ingredient design of the present invention, the V content was controlled to be <NUM>-<NUM>%.

Ti: it has higher affinity than Cr, so that the occurrence of grain boundary chromium depletion due to chromium carbide precipitation can be avoided, so that the inter-crystalline corrosion is effectively prevented; in addition, by adding a proper amount of Ti, fine TiOx and TiN in dispersed distribution can be formed in a steel plate; and however, too high Ti content may increase the viscosity of the molten steel, is unfavorable for the melting of the molten steel, and may also cause the course size of the formed TiOx and deteriorate the toughness of the steel plate at the same time. In the chemical ingredient design of the present invention, the Ti content was controlled to be <NUM>-<NUM>%.

Al: it is a common deoxidizing agent, and can improve the electrode potential of the matrix of the steel bar, improve the corrosion-resistant performance and prevent austenite crystalline grains from growing to improve the strength of the steel bar; however, too high Al content may cause increase of oxides in the steel, and is unfavorable for the welding performance of the steel bar. In the chemical ingredient design of the present invention, the Al content was controlled to be <NUM>-<NUM>%.

B: it is a strengthening element, has a significant effect on improving the strength of the steel bar, but too high B content is unfavorable for the improvement of the inter-crystalline corrosion-resistant performance. In the chemical ingredient design of the present invention, the B content was controlled to be <NUM>-<NUM>%.

In this present embodiment, based on the optional addition of any one or more of V, Ti, Al and B, the performance of the steel bar may be further improved based on the first embodiment, the steel bar had the excellent corrosion-resistant performance, mechanical performance, plasticity and welding performance, the engineering construction was convenient, and the steel bar may achieve a longer theoretical service life when being used in ocean engineering.
