The effects of mineral
additives on the properties of mortar and concrete are well-known in the literature.
The effects of calcium nitrite-containing (CN) corrosion inhibitor on
granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) mortars have been investigated in the
study. The impacts of using CN-based corrosion inhibitor on the physical and
mechanical properties of GBFS mortars have been experimentally examined. Cement
mortar series created in the study were divided into two different groups:
those containing only GBFS and those containing both GBFS and CN inhibitor. The
results of the study indicate that the curing time, GBFS instead of cement, and
the use of CN-based corrosion inhibitor positively improved the physical and
mechanical properties of cement mortars. According to the experimental results,
the best performance was obtained from the series with 10% granulated blast
furnace slag and 3% CN-based corrosion inhibitor. It was observed that the
series where GBFS-CN was applied together obtained better strength values
compared to those where only GBFS was applied.
