Microcosm is defined as “A community, place, or situation regarded as encapsulating in miniature the characteristics, qualities or features of something much larger”. By examining a “microcosm” one can look at how an overall system or market operates and infer assumptions and regard changes by looking at manageable data sets. This paper will examine a “microcosm” of the water tank recoat market. Data was collected from the website “Civcast USA”. The projects that were examined were water tank recoats in the Texas Market.

Lessons Learned for Painting Over Hot-Dip Galvanizing

Product Number: 51217-048-SG

Author: Kevin Irving

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

This paper provides an introduction to the hot-dip galvanization process as an effective and important coating option and the necessary surface preparation steps for successful painting over hot-drip galvanized steel, also known as a duplex system. Proper practices and procedures must be used to prepare new and weathered zinc-coated surfaces on after-fabrication steel products for painting to improve the bond of paint to the zinc surface and provide long-term protection against corrosion.

Lightweight Sol-Gel Coating to Mitigate Galvanic Corrosion

Product Number: 51323-18758-SG

Author: Adam Goff, Charles Sprinkle, Ben Pinkston, Fernando Farelas, Ariel Farelas

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Aircraft reliability and maintainability are critical to their availability and operation. One of the biggest threats to aircraft availability is corrosion of aircraft systems. The annual cost of corrosion for Air Force aviation and missiles is estimated to be $5.67B dollars, or 23.6% of total maintenance costs for this equipment, and 2.1 million non-available hours. It is estimated that for defense acquisition programs 60 – 80% of the total life cycle cost is associated with the operation and support (O&S) phase.

Managing the Risk of Corrosion-Coatings Failure

Product Number: 41206-293-SG

Author: Bruce Woodruff

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Coatings maintenance projects are typically scheduled and selected based on ASTM rust grade, service environment - corrosion rate, coating condition and project visibility or aesthetics. There is something missing. That something is a risk-based assessment. This paper will demonstrate how to make a risk grid and accommodate this into condition assessment criteria for prioritizing and scheduling painting projects.

Material Selection For Storage Tanks – Life Cycle Cost Analyses

Product Number: 51322-17505-SG

Author: Sandra Le Manchet, John Grocki

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

This paper will provide recent corrosion data for stored chemicals. Duplex stainless steel corrosion curves obtained in nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric acids as well as several kinds of waters will be provided. In addition, atmospheric corrosion data obtained after 15+ years of sample exposures in several geographic areas will be shown. These results will be compared to those obtained with other materials commonly used for the construction of storage tanks.

Meeting Expectations When Specifying Concrete Rehabilitation

Product Number: 51218-103-SG

Author: Mike Dadik

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

There are many approaches for rehabilitating deteriorated concrete. The options challenge applicators, estimators, and engineers when executing rehab projects. Selecting the cost-effective approach requires understanding the concrete condition, available coating systems, and level of effort to repair and coat the concrete. A well written specification balances a level of detail that conveys the specifier’s intent with opportunities for contractor innovation to provide facility owners with the best value.

Metal, Moisture, and Mystery: The Curious Case of the Corroding Phone Charger Pin

Product Number: 51324-21155-SG

Author: Anil Kumar Chikkam; Mehrooz Zamanzadeh; Aaron Ulmer

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

In metal-based electrical devices, corrosion poses a significant challenge and can be instigated by numerous factors such as moisture exposure, contact with salts and chemicals, and the occurrence of galvanic corrosion when different metals interact in an electrolyte-rich environment. Manufacturing defects, including substandard materials or insufficient protective coatings, can also contribute to corrosion. To combat this, it's essential to uphold cleanliness and dryness, conduct regular gentle cleaning to eradicate potential corrosive substances, and store the devices appropriately in cool, dry areas. The paper interestingly explores this phenomenon, with a case study focusing on the corrosion of a specific pin in a Phone charger as compared to the other seven pins on the same side of the charger.
