The paper presents the damage model of German Research Unit 537 which was used as a working hypothesis for the development of a user‐friendly design model. Excerpts from the laboratory experiments and numerical calculations processed in project A of the research unit are presented here. The excerpts include the quantification of self‐corrosion, geometrical effects in the macrocell corrosion, development of corroding steel surface and pit depth as well as the quantification of the resistivity of the concrete and the corrosion of steel in cracked concrete.
Die Erzeugung geschliffener Oberflächen bei hochlegierten Chrom-Nickel-Stählen aus dekorativen Gründen z. B. beim Einsatz im Bereich Innenarchitektur kann sich u. U. problematisch hinsichtlich der Korrosionsbeständigkeit auswirken. Bei den Untersuchungen zum Einfluss der Verfahrensparameter beim industriellen Schleifen zur Erzeugung eines bestimmten optischen Erscheinungsbildes stellte sich heraus, dass die Rauheit allein kein Maß für die zu erwartende Korrosionsbeständigkeit darstellt. Die Variation verschiedener Schleifparameter, aber auch die Art des Schleifmittels können einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Korrosionsbeständigkeit ausüben. Neben den Ergebnissen verschiedener Auslagerungsversuche werden elektrochemische Untersuchungen an den geschliffenen Oberflächen vorgestellt. Dabei konnte mittels elektrochemischer Rauschmessungen die unterschiedliche Korrosionsneigung der Oberflächen nachgewiesen werden.Mechanical grinding of stainless steels is often used for decoration purposes, for instance in the interior decoration. However, this treatment can cause problems regarding the corrosion resistance. During investigations of the influences of processing parameters of industrial grinding it was shown, that roughness only is not the expected crucial parameter for the corrosion resistance. The variation of different grinding parameters and also the type of abrasives have a substantial influence. Beside the long term tests electrochemical investigation at the ground surfaces are presented. The different corrosion susceptibility of the surfaces could be proven by means of electrochemical noise measurements.
