SSPC-SP COM-2017, SSPC Surface Preparation Commentary for Metal Substrates

Product Number: SSPC-SP COM-2017
Publication Date: 2017
$109.00

This Surface Preparation Commentary (SP COM) is intended to be an aid for the coating specifier in selecting methods, materials, and standards for specifying the proper surface preparation for steel, and other metals (not including ductile iron pipe). The use of these standards in a coating specification will give direction to the contractor regarding what is required and give direction to the inspector on verifying compliance to the specification.

Laser Cleaning For Surface Preparation For Pre-Weld And Pre-Bonding Applications

Product Number: 51322-18182-SG
Author: Tyler O’Neill
Publication Date: 2022
$20.00

Laser cleaning has been an effective tool in manufacturing and industrial applications for over 20 years. Cleaning, as well as cutting and welding, has shown vast improvements in repeatability and precision with the use of laser technology [4]. Previous bonding techniques such as mechanical fixturing and welding can be inconsistent and cause issues like increased structural weight, decreased structural integrity, galvanic corrosion, and many more potential failures [5]. Laser cleaning may propose a viable option for adhering materials to reduce weight and increase repeatability. Welding practices continue to develop to reduce both weld thickness and porosity. Porosity in welds is typically caused from failure to prepare the surface adequately [1]. Failures in both welding applications and adhesive bonding applications can be reduced with the use of laser technology.

National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Preparation and Coatings (SP&C) Panel 2015 Updated

Product Number: 41215-924-SG
Author: Arcino Quiero, Jr.
Publication Date: 2015

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.

Implementation of Pulsed Laser Ablation Technology in Surface Preparation Processes

Product Number: 51324-20982-SG
Author: Matt Binsfield
Publication Date: 2024
$40.00
The transition of pulsed laser ablation (PLA) technology into the hands of maintainers within shipyards and the transportation industry requires an assessment of multiple factors. From the technical perspective relative to surface preparation and corrosion mitigation, it is essential to understand the impact of PLA energy into substrates and the resultant adhesion characteristics of subsequent coatings. Technical areas to be discussed include metallurgical properties, such as stress corrosion cracking, weldability, bulk properties, fatigue life, as well as adhesion. The effective application of laser ablation is of critical concern to preservation professionals, which requires an understanding of how the process works, the proper appearance of a laser ablated surface, whether that is a tightly adhered existing coating prepared for re-coating, or to expose some or all of the base metal substrate. Accordingly, both laser operators and inspectors need specific information and training to appropriately use the technology to meet preservation objectives and requirements. These needs will be addressed through a forthcoming AMPP Laser Ablation Standard, Technical Guide, and Visual Guide. Determining where to apply PLA based on extensive test data currently available, as well as understanding where future investigation is required, will be summarized.

The most commonly accepted way to protect structural steel on bridges is with liquid applied coatings (paint). The current life expectancy for field-applied protective coatings (maintenance painting) is about 20 years in snow/ice and marine areas. Most bridge owners use a remove-and replace strategy for maintenance painting, with unit costs usually in excess of $10.00 per ft. The cost of maintaining a protective coating during the service life of a bridge may approach the bridge’s original construction costs.

The life-cycle of concrete structures used in waste water systems should consider all factors that might cause a structural system to perform unacceptably at any point during its lifetime. This includes the progressive and sustained loss of load capacity caused by operational or environmental factors. In general terms, deterioration can be defined as a loss of structural load capacity with time as a result of the action of external agents causing chemical attacks or material weakening due to these environmental interactions.

The Federal EPA requires that commercial/residential painting contractors be certified to prepare surfaces containing lead based paint on residential and public structures. As a result, when respirators equipped with HEPA filtration are required to be worn to reduce worker exposure levels to below the permissible exposure limit for lead, the surface preparation work is often subcontracted to a licensed lead abate contractor who holds these types of certifications.

Pipelines have primarily been developed for the oil and gas business as well as building domestic water networks. To ensure the quality and longstanding pipelines, inspection and quality during design, construction and operations are of prime importance. During construction, pipe manufacturing and field fabrication represent the major cornerstone of a construction quality program.
