Detection of Surface Contamination During a Scheduled Inspection and Repair Investigation

Product Number: 41209-488-SG

Author: Lyn Kearns, Martin Janssen, Jean-Luc Coté

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

The Department of National Defence (DND) in Canada has implemented a revised maintenance program for aircraft weapon systems whose goal is to ensure that essential maintenance is accomplished and to assure the continued airworthiness of aeronautical products during in-service operation. The program especially affects legacy aircraft. A case study is being presented where an adhesion failure was detected during a scheduled inspection.

Effect of Feathering on Coating Performance

Product Number: 51219-181-SG

Author: Patrick Cassidy, Michael Kibler

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Feathering is the process of tapering or blending-in an existing intact coating in preparation of applying a new repair coating. This industry common practice is intended to ensure good adhesion of the repair coating to the legacy coating, and to provide a seamless aesthetic transition for areas where maintenance painting is performed. There are no industry standard requirements for performing feathering, resulting in most specifications having their own unique definition.

Effectiveness of Epoxy and Moisture-Cure Polyurethane Coatings in Corrosion Mitigation of Embedded Rebar- an Experimental Study

Product Number: 51320-14405-SG

Author: Raghava Kumar Vanama, Balaji Ramakrishnan

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Chloride induced corrosion is the prime reason for the degradation of embedded rebar in reinforced concrete marine structures. The present study experimentally investigates the effectiveness of traditional two-component epoxy (EPX), and moisture-cure polyurethane coatings (MC) applied on the concrete surface in reducing the rate of chloride ingression compared to the conventional concrete with and without mineral admixtures like fly ash and GGBS. Coatings used in the present study are characterized by XRD, EDAX, FEG-SEM, water uptake, adhesion strength and contact angle tests. Rapid chloride migration tests (RCMT) were conducted on concrete with and without coatings. Resistivity offered against the chloride migration monitored during the RCMT test indicated that concrete with MC shown higher resistivity in the initial period and continued to decrease over the test duration at a faster rate, unlike EPX. The non-steady-state migration coefficients of the concrete cured for 28days and coated with MC and EPX coatings were found to be nearly 22% and 48% of that of concrete with SCM cured for 84days respectively. The study is further extended to monitor the corrosion of rebar embedded in coated concrete subjected to corrosion acceleration until the first crack appeared on an uncoated specimen. Variation in current flow, half-cell potentials recorded during the acceleration test and actual mass loss of embedded rebar estimated by gravimetric analysis are presented in this paper.

Ethics for the Corrosion Professional (English Version)

Product Number: Ethics eCourse

$99.00

The corrosion profession, and the certified professionals who work in the industry, are committed to protecting people, assets, and the environment from the effects of corrosion. Those tasked with delivering the technical expertise to society must conduct their work with the knowledge and understanding of the ethical principles expected and required of those professionals.

The AMPP Code of Ethics is discussed in conjunction with relevant case studies and features real-life ethical violations of the AMPP attestations. Frameworks for making ethical decisions are also reviewed in this course along with the factors in the corrosion industry that can lead to unethical behavior.

This is an online, self-paced course which should take 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. After you have purchased the course in the store, log into your AMPP profile and select “Online Courses” to begin.

Purchase of this course includes a one-year subscription and is non-refundable. Students will have access to all course materials for a period of one year from the date of registration. All course work must be completed during this time period. Extensions or transfers cannot be granted.

Institutionalizing Corrosion Prevention and Control in the USAF

Product Number: 41216-990-SG

Author: Jeffrey K. Nusser, Jeffery T. Stricker, Darryl J. Stimson

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The U.S. Air Force will never eliminate corrosion in aerospace systems, but synchronized efforts can help sustain positive trends in conserving maintenance dollars, increasing system availability, and reducing corrosion-related mishaps. The AF Corrosion Control and Prevention Executive established an aggressive goal to reduce corrosion’s effects by 20% by 2025: a 20% reduction in corrosion maintenance costs; a 20% reduction in non-available hours (NAH) due to corrosion repairs; and a 20% reduction in corrosion-related safety mishaps.

NACE SP0188-2024, Discontinuity (Holiday) Testing of New Protective Coatings on Conductive Substrates

Product Number: NACE SP0188-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

The purpose of this standard is to provide the means of detecting pinholes, flaws, or holidays in a coating system that may result in its premature failure, thereby possibly decreasing the life expectancy of the asset. This standard documents the equipment and the process of using electrical current to identify these holidays in a repeatable and realistic manner for both field and shop coating applications.

NACE SP0716-2023, Soluble Salt Testing Frequency and Locations on Previously Coated Surfaces

Product Number: NACE SP0716-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

Asset owners, engineers, consultants, coating contractors, inspectors, and others are specifying allowable levels of surface soluble salts to prevent premature coating failures. The purpose of this standard is to provide guidance about the number of and locations for soluble salt tests on steel surfaces.

This standard establishes siting and frequency requirements for soluble salt testing before the application of a subsequent coating system to previously coated substrates and replacement substrate material. It does not include allowable limits of soluble salts, which are typically addressed by the procurement documents or the coating manufacturer’s documentation.
