A previous paper presented by the authors at SSPC 2015 demonstrated the futility and folly of attempting to use accelerated corrosion testing as a tool for predicting real world corrosion performance. The effect of corrosion was shown to be governed by the type of ions and the concentration of oxygen in the corrosion environment. By understanding these two factors, accelerated corrosion testing can, however, be used as an indicator of performance which may be encountered in the real world.
A previous paper presented by the authors at SSPC 2015 demonstrated the futility and folly of attempting to use accelerated corrosion testing as a tool for predicting real world corrosion performance. The effect of corrosion was shown to be governed by the type of ions and the concentration of oxygen in the corrosion environment. By understanding these two factors, accelerated corrosion testing can, however, be used as an indicator of performance which may be encountered in the real world. This indicator may show what effect an environment may have on coating/substrate, thus providing guidance for an appropriate performance solution. Whereas the 2015 paper looked at the corrosion process and the effect coatings have on protecting against corrosion from a mechanistic viewpoint, the link between the corrosion observed in an accelerated corrosion testing environment (i.e., domesticated corrosion) and the observed corrosion in the real world (i.e. corrosion in the wild) has not been fully examined and established. This paper examines the four predominant sources of corrosion that occur “in the wild” and compares them to observational results found in exposure to accelerated corrosion conditions. By combining these observational attributes to the mechanistic attributes previously examined, the use of accelerated corrosion testing can be better used as an indicator of how a coating will perform in various environmental conditions. The authors will also provide some suggested solutions using coatings for the improvement of corrosion resistance resulting from these sources of corrosion.
Compares the accelerated corrosion performance of an alkylated phenolic polyamine cured epoxy coating applied to abrasive blasted steel (NACE 1/SSPC-SP5) to the same application on substrates allowed to rust.

Zinc-rich coatings have long been known to provide excellent corrosion resistance in highly corrosive environments, in general,inorganic zincs for new construction and organic zincs for maintenance. A recent trend has been toward zinc-rich coatings with reduced levels of zinc dust. An SSPC committee formed to revise SSPC Paint 29, Zinc Dust Sacrificial Primer, Performance Based, to reference performance only, removing reference to minimum zinc dust level.
Since the dawn of mankind, or at least since the advent of the very first accelerated corrosion cabinet, it has been the goal of coatings evaluators to develop an accelerated corrosion testing protocol which reflects the real world of corrosion in totality. There have been passionate arguments promoting one or another testing protocol while demonizing others, but that one protocol has yet to be developed to everyone’s satisfaction.
