Rebar in concrete is highly susceptible to corrosion by chloride ions from seawater and de-icing salts.

Contractors to the Oregon Department of Transportation have plasma-sprayed 102,000 square feet (9,500 m2) of 0.020-inch-thick (0.5 mm) zinc onto the exposed concrete to provide a sacrificial anode that corrodes in lieu of the steel rebar.
