The construction of the new One World Trade Center (WTC) in New York includes exposed steel members and bolted splice plates. Accordingly, surface preparation and coating system selection for the bolt/washer/nut assemblies for the bolted connections was critical, since the splice plates would be visible. There was little published information on surface preparation and coating requirements for ASTM A 490 black bolts.

Accordingly, surface preparation and coating system selection for the bolt/washer/nut assemblies for the bolted connections was critical, since the splice plates would be visible. There was little published information on surface preparation and coating requirements for ASTM A 490 black bolts. Further, since on site surface preparation of bolted connections would be costly and labor intensive, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (Port Authority) investigated the viability of using a proprietary pretreatment process on the bolts prior to installation and coating application, in order to minimize on‐site surface preparation without adversely affecting coating system adhesion or performance.
Selecting the most appropriate protective coating system for the Dallas Cowboys Stadium structural steel package that would result in maximum aesthetic properties while addressing any issues relating to color selection, production schedules, and other field issues generally encountered in large construction projects

The presentation reports about a nationally funded 3-year R&D project on the effects of edge geometry and coating type on the corrosion protection performance of organic coatings on edges with particular attention to ballast water tank applications. Core of the presentation is the description of the testing scenarios, the introduction of three assessment methods, and the discussion of the results. Testing methods included the long-term testing of samples in a specially designed IMO chamber, the utilization of electric impedance spectroscopy and DFT measurements on polished cross sections of coated edges.
