Abstract

This present invention provides a method for preparing a stainless reinforcing steel bar resistant to corrosion of chloride ions, and belongs to the technical field of corrosion-resistant materials. This method particularly comprises the steps of: selecting a reinforcing steel bar blank, and performing oil removing, rust removing, water washing, and drying treatments on the surface of the reinforcing steel bar blank to be treated, or directly performing sand blasting or shot blasting on a reinforcing steel bar blank whose surface is only slightly rusted; placing the reinforcing steel bar blank in a chromium-containing environment, and keeping at a certain temperature for a certain time such that chromium in the environment is capable of diffusing into the surface of the reinforcing steel bar blank to form a chromium-containing diffusion layer, wherein an area in the diffusion layer where the weight content of Cr exceeds 12% meets the basic component requirements for a stainless steel, and this area is the effective diffusion layer described in this invention; and performing cooling treatment on the heat diffusion treated reinforcing steel bar. In this invention, a reinforcing steel bar blank is pre-formed, a heat diffusion technique is optimized, and the corrosion resistance to chloride ions of the stainless reinforcing steel bar of this invention is superior to that of the 316L stainless reinforcing steel bar.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for preparing a stainless reinforcing steel bar resistant to corrosion of chloride ions, comprising the following steps of:
(a) selecting a reinforcing steel bar blank, and performing oil removing, rust removing, water washing, and drying treatments on the surface of the reinforcing steel bar blank to be treated, or directly performing sand blasting or shot blasting on a reinforcing steel bar blank whose surface is only slightly rusted; wherein the reinforcing steel bar blank has the following chemical ingredients in terms of percentage by weight:
C: 0.01-0.08 wt %, Mn: 0.10-0.50 wt %, P: ≤0.04 wt %, S: ≤0.03 wt %, Si: 0.2-0.6 wt %, Cr: 2.0-8.0 wt %, Mo: 1.50-2.50 wt %, Cu: 0.08-0.35 wt %, Ti: 0.10-0.40 wt %, and Fe and inevitable impurities as the balance;
(b) performing heat diffusion by placing the reinforcing steel bar blank in a chromium-containing environment, and keeping at a certain temperature for a certain time such that chromium in the environment is capable of diffusing into the surface of the reinforcing steel bar blank to form a chromium-containing diffusion layer, in which an effective diffusion layer having a chromium content exceeding 12% has a thickness exceeding 10 μm; and
(c) performing cooling treatment on the reinforcing steel bar which has been treated by heat diffusion; wherein
after the heat diffusion treatment is completed and when a heat diffusion treatment container is cooled to 100° C. or less along with a heat diffusion treatment furnace, the heat diffusion treatment container is withdrawn from the heat diffusion treatment furnace and subjected to air cooling to room temperature continuously, and then the reinforcing steel bar is separated from a heat diffusion powder.

2. The method for preparing the stainless reinforcing steel bar resistant to corrosion of chloride ions as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said heat diffusion in step (b) comprises the steps of: charging the surface treated reinforcing steel bar blank and a heat diffusion powder into the heat diffusion container, wherein the total volume of the reinforcing steel bar blank and the heat diffusion powder does not exceed 95% of the volume of the heat diffusion container; placing and heating the heat diffusion container charged with the reinforcing steel bar blank and the heat diffusion powder in a heating furnace, wherein a heating speed is controlled at 4-6° C. per minute; maintaining the temperature constant for 2.0-4.0 hours when the temperature reaches 800-950° C.; and then stopping heating.

3. The method for preparing the stainless reinforcing steel bar resistant to corrosion of chloride ions as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the heat diffusion powder is formulated from 45% of a 100-200 mesh aluminum oxide powder, 50% of a 100-200 mesh chromium-iron alloy powder containing 70% of chromium, and 5% of ammonium chloride in terms of percentage by weight.

4. The method for preparing the stainless reinforcing steel bar resistant to corrosion of chloride ions as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the heat diffusion container is rotated at a rotation speed of 5-20 rounds per minute in a process of heating and maintaining the temperature constant so as to perform heat treatment on the reinforcing steel bar within the heat treatment container to allow uniform heating while increasing the possibility of collision between the heat diffusion powder and the reinforcing steel bar blank.
