Tungsten Carbide High Velocity Thermal Spray Coatings in the Oil & Gas Industry

Product Number: 51216-006-SG

Author: Herman E. Amaya, Lee Schmerling

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

This paper will explore several variables which affect the tungsten carbide coating material deposited by a high velocity thermal spray process (HVTS) on Oil & Gas components such as valve sealing components (gate, ball, seat) and on other equipment (pistons for example on BOP’s or Blow Out Preventers). The purpose of coating these components is to gain wear/abrasion resistance as well as to impart some corrosion resistance.

UHP Water-Jetting and Surface-Tolerante Coatings in New Building Applications

Product Number: 51217-035-SG

Author: Nuno Cipriano, Joaquim Quintela

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Almost 20 years ago the use of Ultra High Pressure Waterjetting (UHP) in shipyards for maintenance and for offshore projects started to be pushed, due to the development of surface and moisture tolerant paint technology becoming available. This was recognized by the likes of US Navy and Petrobras at the time.

Ultra-Low VOC Waterborne Alkyd Coatings with Exceptional Corrosion Resistance

Product Number: 51216-018-SG

Author: Erin Vogel, Bob Bills, Marty Beebe, Christina Ellison, Jamie Sullivan, Vennesa Williams

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Solventborne alkyd resins are widely used in industrial coatings because of their excellent gloss, good adhesion and wetting properties as well as excellent compatibility with other resin types. In many regions, however, the consumption of alkyds is diminishing as stringent environmental regulations drive the coatings industry towards lower volatile organic compound (VOC) systems. Waterborne (WB) coating systems have replaced some solventborne (SB) alkyd paints; however, these WB coatings typically do not offer the same performance as their solventborne counterparts.

Understanding Atmospheric Corrosion Damage On An Aircraft Representative Galvanic Specimen: A Two-Pronged Approach That Combines Modeling With Experimental Measurement

Product Number: 51322-17638-SG

Author: Thomas Curtin, Robert Adey, Andres Peratta

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Aircraft representative galvanic test articles and witness coupons were placed out for atmospheric exposure testing at the U.S. Naval Research Lab (NRL) site in Key West, Florida. One set of test specimens was exposed to only ambient environment for a 62 day period; a second set of test specimens was exposed to both ambient environment (initial 62 days), and a short duration, twice daily, seawater spray protocol over a further 55 day period. Environmental loading was monitored using sensors that measured temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, and time of wetness (TOW), at 30 minute intervals. Following retrieval, the test articles were inspected in the laboratory using laser profilometry to characterize the spatial distribution and depth of corrosion damage. Mass loss measurement using the witness coupons was used to estimate relative corrosion rates for the two periods.

Understanding Effect Of Scribe Method On Variability In Accelerated Corrosion Test Results

Product Number: 51322-17897-SG

Author: Sarah Specht

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The coatings industry has made widespread use of a variety of accelerated test methods to quickly and effectively evaluate coating performance. Such accelerated methods are advantageous for predicting coating system performance where real-time testing is impractical. For example, it is not practical to evaluate coatings in harsh environments where coatings are expected to last for decades when the pace of innovation and new coating development is faster than the test time would need to be. Therefore a variety of test methods exist to evaluate coatings on metal substrates, such as steel or aluminum. Coatings that will be subjected to corrosive environments require testing in environments to simulate the effects of corrosion, typically involving exposure to moderate salt concentration and elevated temperatures for a specified amount of time. Such tests, testing environments, and evaluation methods include ASTM B117,ISO 9227, and ISO 12944, to name a few.

Use of Waterjetting in Conservation of Historic Structures

Product Number: 41205-205-SG

Author: Joseph Sembrat, Lydia Frenzel

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Water, steam, and waterjetting have long been used in the conservation of historic artifacts and structures such as the R.M.S. Titanic and the Saturn V Rocket at Johnson Space Center. Integral to the conservation is the removal of loose material, reduction in salts and corrosion, retention of coatings and desirable patina, and repair of damaged areas.
