Abstract:This paper carries out a study on the microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of phosphate layers deposited on steel reinforcements for civil constructions. Analyses were performed on 4 sets of samples: 1 control sample (unphosphated) and 2–4 samples that were phosphated with three different solutions. The structural and chemical analysis, as well as the examination of the mechanical properties (surface roughness, microindentation, and scratch resistance) of the phosphate layers deposited on … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
