Corrosion results cracking in the concrete and
it reduces the bearing capacity. Corrosion affects the durability of rebar;
therefore, usage would not be economical and complete its lifetime if this
situation persists. Iron and steel materials lose their physical, chemical and
electrical properties by being affected by these different atmospheric
conditions. In this study, the corrosion resistance of reinforcement in
concrete structures was increased. For this purpose, the reinforcements are
coated with combinations of zinc and boron elements by using a different
principle, the thermionic vacuum arc system. The coated reinforcements are
embedded in the concrete mixture in the mold. After the curing stage, the
samples were taken out of the molds and subjected to accelerated corrosion
test. The results show that the rebars covered with the TVA system were damaged
later than the uncoated rebars. Thanks to the coatings, the damage occurrence
time is extended and the corrosion resistance of the reinforcement is
increased. It is believed that with this study, it will contribute to the
prolongation of the life of the structures by eliminating the corrosion
reactions that occur as a result of negative effects in the reinforcement.
