Industrial protective coatings can be surprisingly complicated for the inexperienced user or specifier. For example, when fabricating complex structures, the simple question of when during fabrication to paint can have an array of interesting cost and performance implications. Other issues include tradeoffs associated with degree of surface preparation and inspection for coating coverage. The paper will explore some of the reasons why they can be complicated in the context of four issues that can impact an industrial protective coatings project.
While real time outdoor weathering exposures in benchmark climates, such as South Florida, are highly recommended for determining coating performance and service lifetimes, the lengthy test times required are often problematic. Therefore, outdoor and laboratory artificial accelerated weathering testing has become a mainstay in coatings testing, particularly in the product development phase.

Update to “Expected Service Life and Cost Considerations for Maintenance and New Construction Protective Coating Work” - NACE Corrosion 2008. Assists the coatings engineer in identifying candidate protective coating systems for specific industrial environments.
Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) involves penetration of a liquid metal into a solid metal that leads to brittle fracture. A test program was established to evaluate the susceptibility of various metallic materials to LME by mercury.
