This group of authors, thinking outside the proverbial box, and with a mind to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, presented a paper at SSPC 2010 entitled “Hubble, Bubble, Tests and Trouble: The Dark Side of Misreading the Relevance of Coating Testing”. A challenge to the status quo of coatings performance testing, the paper boldly questioned much of the conventional wisdom surrounding coating testing and how that testing is interpreted.
This group of authors, thinking outside the proverbial box, and with a mind to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, presented a paper at SSPC 2010 entitled “Hubble, Bubble, Tests and Trouble: The Dark Side of Misreading the Relevance of Coating Testing”. A challenge to the status quo of coatings performance testing, the paper boldly questioned much of the conventional wisdom surrounding coating testing and how that testing is interpreted. A closer look was also undertaken into barriers to choosing best value coating systems established by a specification process which otherwise can end up being counter productive. Importantly, the paper went on to present a new paradigm regarding the approach to future coating testing and the positive implications for end users. In a fresh light, the present paper delves further into the examination of testing-related questions with answers that, while seemingly negative at times, provide a pathway to a radical improvement in coating system selection for specific end use applications. The original paper ended with the hope for “a better way” for the coatings industry. In the current paper the authors examine the role of specifications, the meaning of performance test results, and the real world needs of end users, and conclude with a solution that will rock the coatings industry. It is the new beginning; welcome to the new world.
Corrosion is a natural phenomenon, and thus can never be completely eliminated; however, it is a misconception nothing can be done. Estimates show 25-30% of steel corrosion could be eliminated if proper corrosion protection methods were employed. Corrosion can simplistically be viewed as the tendency for the metal, after production and shaping, to revert back to its lower, more natural energy state of ore. This tendency is known as the Law of Entropy.

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.
