The accelerated corrosion performance of AISI type 316L stainless steel rebars in solutions simulating concrete exposed to various environments was studied by means of cyclic polarization, before and after a four month salt spray test. B500A structural steel rebars were also tested for comparison reasons. Although 316L showed some susceptibility to localized corrosion during polarization in saturated Ca(OH)2 containing 3.5 wt.% NaCl, four months of salt spraying did not significantly affect its polarization behavior. Salt spraying for 4 m did not have any significant effect on the macrostructural state of 316L reinforced concrete.
