Abstract

This invention discloses an anti-corrosion coating sintered at low temperature for steel rebars. The composition of coating includes 30-50 weight percent nano-silica, 20-40 weight percent flux, 9-20 weight percent calcium fluoride, 2-10 weight percent thickener, and 2-14 weight percent adhesion, agent. This invention also discloses the coating method of above-mentioned anti-corrosion coating. The method includes seven steps: 1. dry mixing, 2. wet mixing, 3. pretreatment, 4. coating, 5. baking, 6. sintering, 7. cooling down at room temperature. The coating of this invention has high strength, high density, high corrosion resistance, good capacity to bond with concrete, and maintains the mechanical properties of steel rebars.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An anti-corrosion coating sintered at low temperature, the anti-corrosion coating comprising:
30-50 weight percent nano-silica, 20-40 weight percent flux, 9-20 weight percent calcium fluoride, 2-10 weight percent thickener, and 2-14 weight percent adhesion agent, wherein the flux contains sodium metasilicate nonahydrate or borax, or a combination thereof.

2 . The anti-corrosion coating of claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of flux to nano-silica is (0.5-0.75):1.

3 . The anti-corrosion coating of claim 1 , wherein the thickener contains hydroxymethyl cellulose or hydroxyethyl cellulose, or a combination thereof.

4 . The anti-corrosion coating of claim 1 wherein the adhesion agent contains manganese dioxide or ferrosoferric oxide, a combination thereof.

5 . A coating method using the anti-corrosion coating of claim 1 , the coating method comprising the steps of:
1) blending, without adding water, a mixture comprising the nano-silica, the flux, the calcium fluoride, the thickener and the adhesion agent that are weighted out according to a weight percent composition of claim 1 , wherein the mixture is further placed in a container, stirred, and placed into a mixing machine to mix thoroughly to yield a mixture A; 2) adding water to the mixture A at a weight ratio of the mixture A to water (2-5):1 into the container, which is placed into a mixing machine to thoroughly mix to yield a slurry coating B; 3) pretreating steel rebars by removing rust of the steel rebars such that a surface of the steel rebars is washed and then dried; 4) coating the pretreated steel rebars obtained from step 3 such that the steel rebars are immersed in, rotated, and pulled out from the slurry coating B; 5) baking the coated steel rebars obtained from step 4 at 90-130° C. for 20-40 minutes; 6) sintering the baked steel rebars obtained from step 5 using a furnace such that the baked steel rebars obtained are heated up at a rate of 3-10° C./minute to 400-550° C. and maintained at 400-550° C. for 10 minutes; and 7) cooling the sintered steel rebars at room temperature.
