(Surface Prep) Don’t Let Your Eyes Deceive You

Product Number: 67-COAT_DEC21

Author: Kenneth E. Rossy / Alexander J. Petkas,

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

A steel surface has been properly prepared to a white metal blast and it looks great … to the naked eye at least. But is it? Why is a surface that has the correct profile and appears to be perfectly clean typically not good enough? A standard abrasive blast will give you the profile and visible cleanliness, but how clean is it? Testing is the only way to determine. That is testing for conductivity, chlorides, and any other contaminants.

AMPP SP21523-2022, Non-thermal Plasma Surface Preparation of Metals

Product Number: AMPP SP21523-2022

$109.00

This standard contains the general requirements for the safe and effective use of APC equipment, operated either manually hand-held or through use of automation, to prepare various metallic surfaces for maintenance, repair, recoating, or lining. This standard does not address surface preparation of concrete.

APC is applied to the entire surface specified to be prepared for a new coating or lining. Poorly adhered surface material and coating that cannot withstand the APC process are removed, while, depending on the chosen cleanliness level, any remaining coating is suitably prepared prior to the application of a new coating layer over the existing. In the case of metallic substrates, the underlying surface profile will be revealed whenever surface contamination and coatings are removed.

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Management – A Case History

Product Number: 51219-196-SG

Author: David A. Hunter

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Pond investigated pressure vessel tank failures which are causing recurring maintenance of $250,000 per year. This challenging project had limitations of space, operational time pressures/vessel availability requirements, cost and replacement variables. This presentation will chronical problems and discuss best practices of specifications, material selection, surface preparation, and application inspection that would have prevented the aforementioned outcome. This paper discusses the fundamentals of composite coatings, industry accepted design standards for their use, and examples of typical uses for these materials that solve problems in varied industries.

Effect of surface contamination on the corrosion performance of thermally sprayed aluminium coating in synthetic seawater

Product Number: 51323-19138-SG

Author: Adriana Castro-Vargas, Shiladitya Paul

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Coating standards specify the required surface conditions needed prior to coating. A maximum amount of soluble salts of 20 mg/m2 is widely adopted as acceptation criteria, according to standard NORSOK M-5011. However, meeting these requirements for thermal spray aluminium coatings (TSA) in offshore environments is challenging due to the ubiquitous nature of water-soluble salts.

Improving Coating Adhesion By Altering Surface Preparation

Product Number: 51323-19364-SG

Author: Elisabeth Tarpey, Dr. Rebekah Wilson

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Corrosion is a universal challenge for metal structures. Metal, due to its natural strength, is a common choice for building materials yet sensitive to the environment it is placed in, requiring mitigating actions to ensure proper lifecycle. Coatings are utilized as the primary defense against corrosion; the type based on substrate material and environment.

Issues with Correlation between Accelerated Test Methods and Field Performance

Product Number: 51324-20975-SG

Author: Gunnar Dunér; Ted Best; Dongrui Yang; Victoria Gelling

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Lifetime prediction often relies on various accelerated methods with the end goal of accurately predicting time-to-failure and failure modes which may occur during real-world exposure. This presentation will focus on a case study for organic coatings over a coil-type metal substrate. Samples from 2011 were evaluated by multiple corrosion, humidity, flexibility, and adhesion measurements prior to field exposure at two test fences in Florida. An unexpected field failure, general blistering, was observed relatively rapidly after the field exposure commenced. This study focuses on data analysis of the 2011 physical and corrosion tests, field exposure results, and recent electrochemical and microscopic evaluations of unexposed 2011 retain samples. The retain samples were from the same 2011 study, but they were never tested and were maintained wrapped on a shelf in a laboratory. No correlation was observed between the standard 2011 tests and the resulting field performance. However, newer test methods, including Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) cross-section analysis with elemental mapping, provided insight into the reason for the field blister failure. The proposed mechanism of failure was inconsistencies in pretreatment deposition which caused inconsistent EIS performance and localized blistering upon field testing.
