Until all the rebar is gone. Rebar is just low grade steel with next to nothing in it to prevent rust. After a surface coat of rust gets on it (2-3 days) it will slow the process but it will never stop. Rebar is normally set inside concrete which also slows down the rusting but if you break open any concrete slab with rebar in it you will see it has rusted.

Better still, avoid the problem in the first place. If you don't want to see rust, don't use steel. use composite (FRP) rebar. this is manufactured from glass-fibre based composites and is used where steel can not or should not be used.

All bars will rust and all parties are aware of it. Check with the engineer of record for a project it is to be used on as to what is maximum allowable scale. But it should be acceptable that you remove the excess scale and use the bar.

Rebar submitals where can you go to get them?

Typically there are two types of submittals for rebar. the first is placing drawings. These drawings will act as a set of instructions for fabrication and installation of the rebar. These drawings can be created and supplied by the rebar fabricator or a specialized outside detailer can provide them for you. The second is the actual product data which indicates the mill the material came from, its chemistry composition and production information. For this, the fabricator or supply house you purchase the rebar from should be able to supply you with the sheet data you need. Both the placing drawing and material data sheets will be submitted to the architect and engineer of record to review and verify that the rebar conforms with their intent and design.

How do you patch or seal an exposed rebar post tension cable in foundation slab?

Rebar and Post Tension cable (PT) are two entirely different items. Rebar is the static steel bars placed in the concrete while the PT are high tensile strength cables that were placed in concrete than stressed under hydraulic jacking to a tension generally around 2500 to 3500 psi. As a result, the situations for repair are different. The exposed rebar can be cleaned and patched through approved methods. However the PT should be looked at by a professional as it is an integral part of the structure and, as mentioned before, is under tensioned stress. If the exposed rebar is in a PT slab, caution should be used and a professional consulted as well, due the rebar being integrated with the PT.
