Reasons of damages of prestressing steel
• insufficient design (poor construction)
• incorrect execution of planned design (poor workmanship)
• unsuitable mineral building materials
• unsuitable post-tensioning system components including the prestressing steel

- Advantages of stainless steels in comparison to other corrosionprotection methods in hevealy chloride contaminated concrte.
- Successful application of high strength stainless steel strands forropes and cables for bridges, roofs etc..
- Successful introduction of stainless of steel reinforcement in carbona-ted and chloride containing reinforced concrete because of very high corrosion resistivity.
Reasons for application of prestressing stainless steel

The question is:Can we transfer the positive experiencesfrom• high strength stainless steel cables• and stainless steel reinforcementto prestressed concrete?

• Austenitic chromium-nickel steelshave a pronounced tendencytowards work hardening.
• Therefore the strength of wires canbe increased by cold-deformation.
• To reach a notified strength of 1450 N/mm2 the wires must bedeformed till a degree of 50 to 70%.
• Not too high alloyed stainless steelswith a structure instability tend toformation of martensite.
• Martensite in the austenitic struc-ture increases the strength.
• However, it may lead to a worsecorrosion behaviour.

Test results of the magnetic permeability �r of stainless prestressing steel(permeability = ferromagnetic behaviour, corresponds to the austenite stability
and with the martensite portion in the austenitic structure after cold deformation)

austenite-stability increaseswith the alloy elements as follows:

• high strength and sufficiently high proof stress• sufficiently high ductility• sufficiently relaxation behaviour under performance load• good behaviour in (wedge) anchorage systems• sufficiently high dynamic loadability• high corrosion resistance against

• The pitting corrosion potentials ofcold drawn high strength stainless steel wires 1.4301 - 1.4401 - 1.4439were determined by potentiostaticcurrent-potential measurements with mortar electrodes in
- alkaline concrete - carbonated concrete
with 5% chloride relative to cement weight.
• The results have been compared with those of cold drawn low strength reinforcing steels (deformation degree 36 %)of the same composition and similar surface condition.

• EP decreases in the order1.4439 - 1.4401 - 1.4301.
• In carbonated concretethe EP is significantlylower than in alkalineconcrete.
• The difference betweenEP - reinforcing steel andEP - prestressing steelincreases in the order1.4439 - 1.4401 - 1.4301(reason: martensite).
• It is expected that EP ofprestressing steel 1.4301in carbonated concrete(tests not finished)will be unacceptable low.

After these tests the prestressing steel 1.4401 can be recommended for highlychloride-contaminated concrete: The higher deformation grade does not very badly affect the pitting corrosion behaviour.

The threshold temperatures of stressed single wires in saturated chloride solutions were determined by isotherm exposure tests on bending specimens.
The threshold temperature is that temperature, below that no SCC can occur.

The resistance to anodic Cl�- SCC rises with • increasing pH-value • decreasing temperature of media• increasing steel quality (1.4401 1.4439)
After these teststhe prestressing steel 1.4401 can berecommended for highly chloride-contaminated concrete.

• the lifetime decreases in the order 1.4439 - 1.4401 - 1.4301,• It seems that martensite reduces considerably the hydrogen resistance, • the lifetime of 1.4401 exceed those of conventional prestressing steels.

Conclusion
• All tests carried through have shown that high strengthstainless steel wires of quality 1.4401 are resistantenough to withstand pitting and stress corrosioncracking in strongly chloride contaminated concrete.
• In case of 1.4301 deformation martensite increases in a not acceptable degree the suceptibility to all kinds of corrosion.
• Our results correspond with the results from theinvestigations of Instituto Eduardo Torroja in Madrid
