Temporärer Korrosionsschutz von Spannstählen in unverpressten Hüllrohren

Temporary corrosion protection of prestressing steels in non‐injected ducts Prestressing steels may be subjected to corrosive conditions during the manufacturing process at building sites. Due to this a risk of hydrogen induced stress corrosion cracking of the steels may arise. Tests under practical conditions in a prestressed concrete beam were carried out where non‐injected ducts were treated with preheated scavenging air to prove this method being able to protect the prestressing steels against corrosion. The results yielded sufficient corrosion protection by this measure and therefore it may be an interesting alternative in comparison to corrosion protection by film forming agents which contain inhibitors.
