Reinforced concrete structures are subject to many types of deterioration. Many of these are visible; however, one that is not is the crevice corrosion that occurs internally at the reinforcing bars. To detect, mitigate and delay this type of insidious corrosion, a form of cathodic protection in the form of thermal sprayed coatings will be discussed. To implement this as a corrective action as well as a preventive action is the theme of this paper.
