Cathodic Nanocoating Technology for Corrosion Control of Steel Structures

Cathodic Nanocoating Technology for Corrosion Control of Steel Structures
Available for download

In 2000 the National Science Foundation estimated that the market for nanotechnology products will be over one trillion US dollars by 2015 and that the industry would employ over 200 million workers. These numbers have been subsequently quoted from funding applications to government policy documents, but at the halfway point many of the revolutionary and disruptive technologies predicted have failed to emerge. Indeed, seven years on from the inception of the National Nanotechnology Initiative, there appears to be little sign of a nanotechnology-based industry, although significant amounts of R&D are being undertaken by various industries.

In 2000 the National Science Foundation estimated that the market for nanotechnology products will be over one trillion US dollars by 2015 and that the industry would employ over 200 million workers. These numbers have been subsequently quoted from funding applications to government policy documents, but at the halfway point many of the revolutionary and disruptive technologies predicted have failed to emerge. Indeed, seven years on from the inception of the National Nanotechnology Initiative, there appears to be little sign of a nanotechnology-based industry, although significant amounts of R&D are being undertaken by various industries. Carbon nanotechnologies are gaining in commercial introductions. In the short term, nanoparticles are being introduced into many existing materials, making them stronger or changing their conductive properties. Significantly stronger polymers will make plastics more widely used to reinforce materials and replace metals, even in the semi-conductor area. Carbon nanotubes are novel, manipulated atomic- or molecular-scale carbon structures that exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrical properties; they are also efficient conductors of heat. So strong are tiny carbon nanotubes—each is a mere 1 to 100 nanometers in length (1 nanometer equals one billionth of a meter)—that their bonding structure is stronger than the bonds found in diamonds. "Nanotubes naturally align themselves into 'ropes' held together by Van der Waals forces," referring to the attractions among atoms, molecules, and surfaces that result from the fluctuating polarizations of nearby particles.

Class B Polyamide Epoxy Primer

Product Number: 41205-211-SG
Author: John Williams
Publication Date: 2005
$20.00

Prompted by requests from Specifiers and Steel Shop Fabricators, a Non-Zinc coating has been developed that has attained a Class B Slip Coefficient rating and therefore can be applied to faying surfaces of slip-critical bolted connections.  Results show that this product offers fast dry times and excellent corrosion resistance.

Causes of Coating Failures

Product Number: 41209-512-SG
Author: Kenneth B. Tator
Publication Date: 2009
$20.00

Industrial and marine protective coating systems are most commonly applied without incident and perform as expected over their anticipated service life. However, occasionally, a coating system will fail prematurely, for unexpected reasons, and with expensive consequences. This paper addresses those unexpected failures and provides reasons and remedies for such occurrences.
