Exploring The Truth About Aluminium Flakes As Pigments In Corrosion Protective Coatings

The success of corrosion protective coating systems relies, to a great extent, on the coatings’ inherent barrier properties. This barrier property signifies the coating’s ability to withstand the permeation of sea water and oxygen, thus minimizing corrosion of the underlying metal. While various additives or pigments can promote the barrier property of coatings, one of the most common pigments is aluminum flakes [1-4].The idea behind their use is simple, and essentially relies on having the aluminum flakes in the coating oriented parallel to the underlying substrate. With them in place, the pathways for sea water and oxygen effectively increase, thus preventing the progression of corrosion. However, while having been employed in numerous coating formulations for many years, the evidence for the success of aluminum flakes as barrier pigments is still lacking.

Extending Asset Lifecycle With Inspections And Maintenance

Product Number: 51322-18143-SG

Author: Tim Widing, Cortney Chalifoux

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Consistent coating inspections and planned maintenance are essential to asset integrity. Non-existent, delayed, and cursory inspections can allow premature coating breakdown, corrosion, and costly failures. On the other hand, improper maintenance can be ineffective, costly, and wasteful. The challenge involved in executing informative inspections and effective maintenance practices is identifying and understanding the numerous conditions that can contribute to a reduction in the lifecycle of an asset. This paper will discuss some of the aspects involved in identifying coating conditions that are likely to result in failures and developing cost effective coating repair strategies that will extend the life of the asset.

The hydrocarbon exploration in the ocean and deep sea was started as early as early as the 1850s, when the first drilling was carried out in California, USA. Other early oil explorations activities were later recorded in Pakistan (1886), Peru (1869), India (1890) and Dutch East Indies (1893).1 In 1930s, the development of the Gulf of Mexico as an offshore area started with oil first being produced in 1938.1 The production from the North Sea brought more technical challenges to the offshore industry.

There are hundreds of kilometers of above-ground carbon steel pipelines located in 32 in-situ oilsands facilities operated by 18 producers in Alberta Canada, with a total thermal oilsands capacity (operating) of 1.8 million barrels per day. A typical in-situ oilsands operation is for recovering bitumen located 75 meters or more below the surface, by the injection of steam.

Factors In Galvanic Corrosion Between Steel And Iron Sulfides In Acidic Solutions

H2S corrosion, also known as sour corrosion, is one of the most researched types of metal degradation in oil and gas transmission pipelines requiring a wide range of environmental conditions and detailed surface analysis techniques. This is because localized or pitting corrosion is known to be the main type of corrosion failure in sour environments which caused 12% of all oilfield corrosion incidents according to a report from 1996. Therefore, control and reduction of this type of corrosion could prevent such failures in oil and gas industries, and significantly enhance asset integrity while reducing maintenance costs as well as eliminating environmental damage.

Factors Influencing Early Crack Development in Marine Cargo and ballast Tank Coatings

Product Number: 41206-265-SG

Author: George Mills, Bell Buckle, Johnny Eliasson

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Stress development in epoxy coatings applied in water ballast tanks (WBT) on ships can lead to cracking, corrosion, and failure of ship’s hulls, with catastrophic consequences to the environment as well as loss of seamen at sea. Typically, these cracks do not appear during application and curing of the coating but after some finite time of service. The financial wellbeing of the ship’s owner can suffer greatly. To avoid such cracking, it is critical to have a clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms and primary controlling factors behind the coating cracks.

Factors Influencing the Stay-Clean Properties and Service Life of New Fluoropolymer Coatings

Product Number: 41212-721-SG

Author: Kurt Wood

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Highly durable fluoropolymer coatings also generally have very good “stay-clean” properties. For this class of coatings, many of the factors contributing to stay-clean properties and exterior durability are linked. We will review these factors and examine particularly their role in affecting the properties of coatings based on the new waterborne fluoropolymer-acrylic hybrid technology. Using these principles, realistic estimates of the service life of these premium coatings can be determined.

Caustic stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is known to occur in carbon steels under tensile stress and exposure to caustic solutions from 115°F to boiling temperatures. Alternating wet and dry conditions tend to increase SCC susceptibility. Localized overheating of the metal, such as solar radiation, heat tracing, steam outs and excursions should also be considered. Caustic SCC was first reported in 1980 when the top of a continuous kraft digester vessel blew off in Pine Hill, Alabama. It was found that the tensile residual stresses present in non-stress relieved carbon steel weld seams and the corrosive environment (caustic) were responsible for the cracking

Pre-commissioning hydrostatic testing of pipelines and the resulting corrosion (MIC) issues are often linked to test water quality, as well as post-test cleaning operations. In a 1998 study, it was reported that localized corrosion (pitting/crevice corrosion) accounted for 20% of failures in the chemical process industry with an estimated one half of those being MIC failures. Identification of MIC failures is not straightforward. Common characteristic features such as pit clustering, “tunneling” of pits, tuberculation, high microbiological counts, presence of sulfides (in the case of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB)) and preferential weld attack have been used to anecdotally pinpoint field failures towards MIC.
