... value and NaCl concentration, have significant impact on the corrosion degree of suspension steel wires, and only considering these two factors for equivalent conversion cannot accurately reflect the true service environment of the bridge. The 33.8-h salt spray accelerated corrosion test using...

...Donghui Hu; Shenyou Song; Zongxing Zhang; Linfeng Wang Purpose This paper aims to figure out the conundrum that the corrosion resistance longevity of steel wires for bridge cables was arduous to meet the requirements. Design/methodology/approach The “two-step” hot-dip coating process for cable...
