Within the scope of examinations at steel specimens embedded in chloride contaminated mortar for the first time X‐ray tomography was used to analyse the areas, damaged by chloride induced corrosion. Damaged areas with dimensions of a few μm could be detected. The results from the X‐ray tomography were verified by inspection of surfaces of the bars after removing the cover mortar.
