Lifetime Corrosion Control Cost Minimization

Lifetime Corrosion Control Cost Minimization
Available for download

Most capital projects in the energy market face significant cost overrun issues. There is a real need for innovation to improve productivity; reduce the need for completion on site and to minimize the annual operations maintenance budget. By optimizing the coating specification, we can increase the likelihood of paint completion during the project while increasing productivity and quality.

Most capital projects in the energy market face significant cost overrun issues. There is a real need for innovation to improve productivity; reduce the need for completion on site and to minimize the annual operations maintenance budget. By optimizing the coating specification, we can increase the likelihood of paint completion during the project while increasing productivity and quality. Thus, the chances of the project being completed in time are increased and the lifetime maintenance costs reduced. This paper will show the cost reduction benefits of using an optimized two coat paint system compared to a standard three coat system. The benefits will be demonstrated for the building contractor and the operating owner.

Surface Roughness Profile and its effect on Coating Adhesion and Corrosion Protection

Product Number: 51220-238-SG
Author: S. G. Croll
Publication Date: 2020

Modern design, manufacturing and field-testing specifications include surface profile and adhesion testing on the assumption that they are linked to long term corrosion prevention. There are a number of careful studies, dating back decades, that find no link between measurements of adhesion and (undercutting) corrosion performance, but other studies do, and the concept remains intuitively appealing and widely assumed.

Why Do We Record the Attributes of a Coating Failure as a Result of an Adhesion Test?

Product Number: 51220-229-SG

International standards, both ISO and ASTM, require that the attributes exhibited during an adhesion test are recorded as part of the results. What are these attributes, how should they be recorded and what value are they to the inspector and applicator in assessing the reason for failure?  This paper looks at all these questions and asks should we be going further than we do in defining the mode of failure.

Wet Abrasive Blasting: the Future of Surface Preparation and the Effects it has on Steel

Product Number: 51220-232-SG

With more stringent silica regulations being enforced, wet abrasive blasting is becoming more prevalent in the industry. We investigated the viability of wet abrasive blasting as compared to the more commonly used dry abrasive blast. One added benefit of wet abrasive blasting is the removal of soluble salts in addition to providing the specified profile.
