Investigation on the corrosion resistances of bronze-waste tire-concrete composites

Abstract

In this study, finely ground CuAl10Ni bronze sawdust and waste tire additives were incorporated into C30 concrete at different amounts and then their corrosion resistances were investigated. SEM/EDX analyses were performed. It was observed that after acids attacks, as the waiting time in the acid solutions increased, electrical surface resistance values increased due to further corrosion. Also, more losses in the weight were observed in the pure concrete than the concretes including bronze sawdust and waste tire grains, then those refractories showed higher corrosion resistances than that of pure concrete.
