Abstract. This research investigated the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of carbon steel (CS) and galvanized steel (GS) rebars embedded in ternary blended systems by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. These steel-concrete systems were prepared with a water/cement ratio of 0.45 and partial substitutions of the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) by sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) and fly ash (FA). The OPC and SCMs were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The EIS results indicated that the SCMs contributed to the electrochemical behavior of ternary steel-concrete at an early stage of the hydration process. The higher values of resistance (Rfilm) were obtained in the concentration of 30 % substitution. This fact was attributed to the oxygen decrease on the metal surface, which was confirmed by the decrease of the electrochemical double layer capacitance (Cdl) value with respect to the reference specimen.
Resumen. Esta investigación estudió el efecto de materiales cementantes suplementarios (SCM) sobre el comportamiento de la corrosión electroquímica de barras de refuerzo de acero al carbono y acero galvanizado embebidas en sistemas de concreto ternarios mediante mediciones de Espectroscopía de Impedancia Electroquímica (EIS). Estos sistemas acero-concreto se prepararon con una relación agua/cemento de 0.45 y sustituciones parciales del Cemento Portland Ordinario (OPC) por ceniza de bagazo de caña (SCBA) y cenizas volantes (FA). El OPC y los SCM se caracterizaron mediante análisis de microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM) y difracción de rayos X (DRX). Los resultados del EIS indicaron que los SCM contribuyeron al comportamiento electroquímico del acero-hormigón ternario en una etapa temprana del proceso de hidratación. Los mayores valores de resistencia (Rfilm) se obtuvieron en la concentración del 30 % de sustitución. Este hecho se atribuyó a la disminución de oxígeno en la superficie del metal, lo que fue confirmado por la disminución del valor de capacitancia electroquímica de doble capa (Cdl) con respecto a la muestra de referencia.
