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.

Over recent years there have been interesting developments in the way marine coatings and linings are specified that have unwittingly resulted in a situation that can make it challenging to meet a paint specification as currently written.

Effect of Surface Preparation of Coating Performance

Coating performance and longevity is highly dependent on the quality of substrate surface preparation. The effect of profile height, profile type (e.g., type of tool used to perform the prep, angularity of profile, etc.), extent of cleanliness, and amount of chloride contamination on coating performance were all studied to determine the correlation between these factors in an attempt to identify the primary factor in coating failure due to improper surface preparation.
