Abstract

This study investigated the chloride-induced depassivation and corrosion of mild steel in the magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC) pore solutions at different magnesia-to-phosphate (M/P) ratios via several electrochemical methods and surface characterisations. Results showed that although the pH of MKPC is much lower than that of PC, the corrosion resistance of mild steel is significantly higher, with critical chloride values in MKPC being several orders higher than that in PC. Chloride-induced corrosion resistance increases with increasing M/P ratios. Whilst both pH and HPO42-/PO43- ions influence the formation of corrosion products, the pH plays a dominant role in the corrosion resistance.
