| description | Corrosion in steel leads to the deterioration of reinforced concrete structures due to chemical reactions between steel and its surrounding atmosphere. In this paper, a novel anticorrosive powder was derived from the waste Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and manually coated on the steel rebar of the reinforced concrete specimen. The corrosion-resistant efficiency of the developed nano PCB-coating on the steel bars was studied by polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and accelerated corrosion technique. Also, the applicability of the nano PCB-coated rebar as reinforcement in the concrete environment was investigated. From the results, it was observed that the nano PCB-coated specimens exhibited 3.5 times reduced rate of corrosion and lost only 46.15% strength and 52.5% diameter under the accelerated rate of 6 V after 48 hours. The presence of nano PCB powder improved the corrosion-resistant behaviour of the steel rebar by 1.65 times of the noncoated specimen. Also, the nano PCB-coating reduced the loss in residual yield strength of the corroded steel rebar by 32% lesser than the noncoated specimens and exhibited similar corrosion-resistant properties as that of the existing zinc coating. In addition to the corrosion resistance, the nano PCB-coated steel rebar exhibited almost similar adhesion with concrete as that of the commercial zinc coating which is 7% lower than uncoated steel rebars. It was inferred from this research work that the proposed anticorrosive coating prepared from the waste nano PCB powder showed better corrosion-resistant behaviour and reduced the overall cost of coating by 42%, which ensures economy and serviceability. |
