Passivation and Corrosion of Black Rebar with Mill Scale

Prof. Xinying Lu received his B.E. and Ph.D. degrees in Surface Science and Corrosion Engineering from University of Science and Technology Beijing, China, in 1988 and 1993, respectively, and did postdoc research in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, during 1993 to 1995. Then, he joined the Department of Civil Engineering of Tsinghua University. Prof. Lu focuses on the research of rebar corrosion and concrete durability. His recent research interests include ultra-high-performance concrete, quantum chemical calculations and high-performance composites.
