Abstract
- Deicing agents in winter maintenance are critical in providing safe roads at all times. Sodium chloride (SC) is the most common, efficient and favourable agent but has a drawback of high corrosiveness, thus substantially shortening the service life of metal-based transport infrastructures. This work focuses on corrosion and addresses approaches for the following corrosion test methods that quantify the mass loss of metals for different deicing agents: standardised neutral salt spray test (ISO 9227), salt solution immersion test (ASTM G31-72) and alternate immersion test (ISO 11130). A wide range of different deicing agents with and without corrosion inhibitors are tested on unalloyed steel, and an analytical and visual comparison is made. Results reveal a substantially reduced corrosion effect at reasonable costs by selecting the appropriate deicing agent with or without corrosion inhibitors. For the final selection of deicers, deicing performance and cost-effectiveness are compared. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
