The aims of this study are to examine the effect of
metallic coat-ings on reinforcement from the perspective of the
durabilityproperties of concrete structures. Also, consider the importance
oflaboratory production of cover while investigating how it can beapplied to
steel. In this research, to increase the corrosion resist-ance of the
structural steel, the reinforcements were coated withthin films with a system
called thermionic vacuum arc (TVA). As aresult of recent studies, it has been
observed that such thin filmsprotect the reinforcement from corrosion. In this
study, the effectof coated reinforcement on corrosion, which is one of the
mostimportant structural defects, was investigated. The applied coat-ings are
nano-sized and protect the structural steel against corro-sion reactions
occurring on the surface. Moreover, these coatingsincrease the adherence
between concrete and reinforcement. Specifically, for this study, silver (Ag)
was used as a coating com-ponent. After the coating process was completed, the
reinforce-ments were placed in cylindrical concrete samples and theirresistance
to corrosion was measured with the help of the accel-erated corrosion
technique. The results show that the rebarscoated with the TVA system was
prolonged the damage occur-rence time (first crack) and diminished the
corrosion reactionsthat occurred on the reinforcement surface.
