Institutionalizing Corrosion Prevention and Control in the USAF

Institutionalizing Corrosion Prevention and Control in the USAF
Available for download

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.

Achieving these goals depends on applying the resources necessary to institutionalize a corrosion-conscious mindset within the AF culture. Success will depend on all levels of the corrosion prevention and control enterprise—strategic, operational, tactical, and technical—engaging to institutionalize corrosion prevention and control along four lines of effort: resources; policy; technology; and communication.

National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Preparation and Coatings (SP&C) Panel 2016 Update

Product Number: 41216-999-SG
Author: Arcino Quiero, Jr.
Publication Date: 2016
$20.00

The paper is an overview of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Preparation and Coating Panel’s (SP&C) mission to reduce the cost of construction, maintenance, and repair of US Navy ships. The Panel’s “Specs to Decks” approach; research, evaluate, develop, and sustain current and emerging technologies that will reduce cost and maintain or enhance quality, serves as a rudder that guides the Panel’s performance. This review will provide a summary of the Panel and a look at some of its implemented, current, and proposed projects.

Improvement of Weather Resistance for Epoxy Based Coatings on Marine Structures

Product Number: 51216-008-SG
Author: Sang-Moon Shin, Chung-Seo Park, Seung-Gon Choo, Sang-Sik Park, Kyoung-Sub Hwang
Publication Date: 2016
$20.00

Epoxy-based coating used in the ships and marine structures can be quickly degraded after only a short period of exterior exposure. The weathering defects such as discoloration, chalking and gloss reduction are originated from a photo-oxidation of aromatic group in the epoxy resin under the UV light. Weather resistance coatings such as polyurethane and polysiloxane require more work due to the short over-coating interval and low compatibility with primer coating layers.

Inspecting Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel

Product Number: 41216-960-SG
Author: Bernardo Duran
Publication Date: 2016
$20.00

Engineers, architects, DOTs, and other specifiers use hot dip galvanizing to provide corrosion protection to steel and iron in many industries, including transportation and highway, parking garages, bridges, structural, agricultural, petrochemical, and original equipment manufacturing. To ensure continued corrosion protection and structural integrity in these industries, it is necessary to properly inspect the galvanizing.
