MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611056630 A) filed by Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana on May 04, 2026, for Non-Destructive Electrochemical Characterization System For Assessment Of Corrosion In Reinforced Concrete And Method Thereof.
Inventor includes Dr. Harvinder Singh.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: A non-destructive electrochemical characterization system for assessment of corrosion in reinforced concrete and method thereof, comprises a controlled current source to generate a low-frequency periodic excitation signal for repeated stimulation of an electrochemical means within a reinforced concrete member, a pair of outer pins for injecting the periodic excitation current, a pair of inner pins for measuring a voltage-time response generated due to the injected current, a data acquisition unit for recording the voltage-time response over multiple excitation cycles, a processing unit to analyze the recorded voltage-time waveform based on a multi-RC equivalent electrochemical model representing concrete resistance, charge transfer behavior, diffusion processes, and passive film characteristics, a parameter extraction and interpretation module to determine electrochemical and corrosion-related parameters from the analyzed waveform of reinforced concrete member, and a method for electrochemical characterization and assessment of corrosion in reinforced concrete using periodic electrical excitation and time-domain waveform analysis.
