Helpful Background Papers
At Outokumpu we are committed to understanding our customers’ needs and helping you achieve them. In the case of stainless steel reinforcing bar this can range from helping you understand where to use Stainless Rebar (SSR) to having high quality information on the corrosion resistance of the alloy itself.
Understanding the selective use of SSR by using predictive modelling
Stainless Steel reinforcement, The use of predictive models in specifying selective use of stainless steel reinforcement
About Critical Chloride Threshold Levels
This is a special issue of our publishing house Acom. With a descriptive introduction to stainless rebar it combines our papers given at the Australasian Corrosion Association explaining how to measure CCTLs with one given at NACE detailing a third party long term trial. The first paper contains an example of in solution testing and the second an example of cast in testing.

Case Studies
We are pleased to have been allowed to show this conference paper by John Connal of AECOM. It is an excellent example of how predictive modelling aids specifying the selective use of SSR and then how important it is to have the correct information on CCTL values.
