Effect of Surface Preparation Grades of Weld Seam on the Coating Performance in Marine Structures

Effect of Surface Preparation Grades of Weld Seam on the Coating Performance in Marine Structures
Available for download

According to the international surface preparation standard for welds (ISO8501-3), the preparation grades before the application of paints are divided into 3 levels, P1, P2 and P3. These grades are described with rough qualitative representations, not description of surface treatment methods or measurable conditions. Because of the ambiguous wordings on the standard, there have been a lot of arguments for the surface preparation grades and abraded condition during the construction.

These grades are described with rough qualitative representations, not description of surface treatment methods or measurable conditions. Because of the ambiguous wordings on the standard, there have been a lot of arguments for the surface preparation grades and abraded condition during the construction. In this study, coating thickness, the corrosion resistance and crack tendency of the coated films on the welds were evaluated for the grinding range in 5 levels from mild to severe. Each grinded specimen was blasted to Sa 2.5 and coated with 2 coats of epoxy paints. The performances of coatings on welds with the grades of grinding condition were not significantly different, satisfying the criteria of ISO 12944 (C5-M medium). After blasting, all of grinded specimens showed smooth surface which cannot make a sharp edge or excessive film thickness.

Coating thickness is one of the most important parameters influencing durability of a protective coating system. As a general rule-of-thumb, the thicker the coating, the greater the protection. But is there any upper limit to this general rule? This paper looks at durability figures of common protective coating systems for atmospheric and immersion exposure as a function of dry film thickness.

Effect of Feathering on Coating Performance

Feathering is the process of tapering or blending-in an existing intact coating in preparation of applying a new repair coating. This industry common practice is intended to ensure good adhesion of the repair coating to the legacy coating, and to provide a seamless aesthetic transition for areas where maintenance painting is performed. There are no industry standard requirements for performing feathering, resulting in most specifications having their own unique definition.
