A literature review has been conducted with the goal of identifying alternative low-cost corrosion resistant reinforcement materials compared to conventinal black reinforcing steel.  The new materials are evaluated on the basis of material attributes that are expected to improve initiation and propagation corrosion characteristics including an assessment of the impact of mill scale.
