A Study on Improving Surface Preparation Productivity Using Rectangular Blasting Nozzle

Product Number: 41216-980-SG

Author: ChangHun Lee, ByeongHun Do, WonJun Yun, HanJin Bae

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The purpose of surface preparation is to get a required adhesion between steel and the coated film. Adhesion is a significant factor for the suitability and life of protective coatings in corrosive surroundings. In the shipbuilding industry, air blasting with round blasting nozzles is common practice for achieving the productivity and proper surface profile. Generally, the round blasting nozzle cannot evenly spread the abrasive material on a steel surface compared with a rectangular nozzle.

AMPP Guide 21611-2024, Pulsed Laser Ablation Technical Guide for Ferrous Metal Substrates

Product Number: AMPP Guide 21611-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This guide describes the use of portable or stationary Q-switched pulsed laser ablation (PLA) systems, consisting of directed energy technology for the surface preparation of ferrous substrates as required for applying coatings or linings, welding, adhesive bonding, decontamination, and other applications. It will discuss the feasibility and benefits of PLA when compared to other laser technologies as well as traditional surface preparation methods. Detailed information is provided on the equipment, including a generic description, suitable applications and locations for use, types of coat- ings or contaminants suitable for removal, advantages, and limitations. This guide includes requirements for operating conditions, and environmental, health, and safety compliance. Appendix A provides explanatory information, some of which uses terms specific to AMPP SP21511-1, “Laser Ablation for Metallic Surface Preparation of Ferrous Metals, Pulsed Laser.” Appendix B provides an amplification of considerations for use including technical information regarding the interaction of the laser with coatings and substrate. Appendix C addresses additional considerations for environ- mental approvals. Appendix D lists equipment and operating parameters.

AMPP SP21511-1-2024, Laser Ablation for Surface Preparation of Ferrous Metals, Pulsed Laser

Product Number: AMPP SP21511-1-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This AMPP standard, designated AMPP SP21511-1, is intended to enable specifiers to develop project specification re- quirements and end users to achieve the required level of surface preparation or cleanliness using pulsed laser ablation (PLA). For the purpose of this standard, PLA employs pulsed, Q-switched laser technology.

PLA is a media-free, commercially available process that uses high-intensity directed energy in the form of a collimated, monochromatic, pulsed, focused, and scanned laser beam to remove coatings, oxides, contaminants, and hazardous materials (HAZMATs). This process is also referred to as laser ablation coating removal (LACR). PLA may be used to prepare coated or uncoated ferrous metal substrates before the application of a protective coating or lining, or it may be used in conjunction with other surface preparation methods. PLA offers environmental, health, and safety (EH&S) ben- efits as well as a level of precision that cannot be achieved with other surface preparation technologies. This standard is intended to be used by corrosion control professionals in civil infrastructure, defense, nuclear, petrochemical, auto- motive, aerospace, and other related industries. It is for use by coating specifiers, engineers, contractors, inspectors, and others who are responsible for defining a specific level of surface cleanliness or producing a post-laser treatment surface condition specified, using PLA technology.

PLA can remove 100% of existing coatings. However, it is most effective for applications requiring less than 95% of coating removal (by surface area of exposed substrate) when prescribed by appropriate Technical Authority guidance.

The primary functions of PLA cleaning applications are:

a) To remove material from the surface that can cause premature failure of the new coating system. Paragraph A1 of Appendix A (nonmandatory) provides additional information.

b) To enhance the adhesion of a new coating system.

c) To expose the surface profile of the substrate that is underneath the existing coating, rust, other corrosion products, or other contaminants and,

d) To reduce or remove nonvisible contamination that may be present on the substrate. Examples include thin films of oil and grease, and soluble ionic materials such as chlorides, ferrous salts, nitrates, and sulfates. PLA can reduce or completely remove water-soluble contaminants as well as fixed, non-smear- able low-level radiological contamination.

An Overview and Comparison of Surface Cleanliness Standards for the Protective Coatings Industry

Product Number: 41216-965-SG

Author: Nico Frankhuizen

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

At present multiple standards on blast-cleaned surfaces are in use depending on region and specifications of the project. However, most standards are relatively clear on the description of a surface some overlap each other. These overlaps are often considerate as the norm for the most comparisons between ISO and related documents, however, sometimes are significantly off. Some of these documents will be highlighted to compare the results and their impact on the coating job.

Angles and Demons in the Realm of Protective Coatings: The Underworld of VOCs

Product Number: 41211-636-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, V.J. Datta,

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Ours is an age of stringent VOC regulations and one of the positive responses from coating formulators has been the advent of innovative high solids coatings that contain exempt solvents. While proper surface preparation for applying lining systems has always been crucial to long term coating success our field experience has shown that this is all the more the case with coatings formulated with one or more exempt solvents.
