Development and Implementation of a Novel Method to Remove Inorganic Zinc Coating from Low Alloy Steel

Product Number: 41215-913-SG

Author: Barry Messer, Yasir Idlibi, Sergio Vitomir

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Inorganic zinc (IOZ) silicate coating was previously applied to partially fabricated low alloy, 21/4 Cr-1MoV, high temperature, hydrogen, reactor vessels for long-term storage corrosion protection prior to final welding and post weld heat treatment (PWHT) at 690-720°C (1274-1328°F). The need for complete coating removal to mitigate the known embrittlement and weld cracking that can occur after welding and PWHT led to the development of a novel, environmentally friendly method to remove IOZ to trace levels below 1 ppm.

Forgotten Phenomenon: Corrosion of Galvanized Piping Underground

Product Number: 51324-20595-SG

Author: Michael J. Szeliga

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Water utilities have begun to install galvanized piping underground as a “new” form of corrosion control. While this is being called a “new” approach, the effectiveness of galvanized piping underground has been widely discussed in the corrosion literature for more than 70 years. This paper will summarize some of the documented findings regarding galvanized piping underground that is presented in the corrosion literature. The paper will also discuss the types of galvanizing available and how that impacts the rate of corrosion on galvanized piping underground.

Green Alternatives to Using Zinc Potable Water Systems

Product Number: 41211-606-SG

Author: Don Futch

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

In this article, we will be presenting some background about the zinc‐in‐immersion technology itself while addressing some of the important questions where the two opposing sides commonly clash. A discussion over failure modes; reasons for failure; and alternate technologies will be discussed. Additional information will detail what factors and features are needed to develop a good lining to protect steel water tanks. The paper will conclude by discussing alternative coating options that exist (including “greener” versions) and expected performance levels these coatings are anticipated to provide.

Liquid Metal Embrittlement in the Refining Industry – Case Histories and Common Prevention Practices

Product Number: 51323-18903-SG

Author: Cathleen Shargay, Shahab Soltaninia, Diana Basheva

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) phenomenon occurs when the certain molten metals wet the specific alloys, causing drastic ductility reduction that normally is associated with the formation of an intergranular crack that is sudden and brittle in nature. High tensile stress is also known to promote cracking; however, cracks may develop merely by contacting molten metal with a susceptible alloy as there is only a small amount of low-melting-point metal required to cause LME.

Painting Over Galvanizing Successfully by Using SSPC- Guide 19

Product Number: 41216-974-SG

Author: Kevin Irving

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Corrosion is a natural phenomenon, and thus can never be completely eliminated; however, it is a misconception nothing can be done. Estimates show 25-30% of steel corrosion could be eliminated if proper corrosion protection methods were employed. Corrosion can simplistically be viewed as the tendency for the metal, after production and shaping, to revert back to its lower, more natural energy state of ore. This tendency is known as the Law of Entropy.

Performance or Preference? City of Anoka Water Tank Reconditioning Revisited

Product Number: 41213-804-SG

Author: Dan Zienty

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

In 2003, the City of Anoka, Minnesota completed the reconditioning of its 400,000-gallon legged water storage tank. A 2-year warranty inspection followed in 2005. The project was introduced in the May 2007 issue of the Journal of Protective Coatings. Its significance was that reconditioning of interior surfaces, above the high waterline, were treated with a trial application of three coating system solutions.

Protecting Steel Reinforcement by Coating Concrete with Thermal Spray Zinc

Product Number: 51324-20750-SG

Author: Bernardo Duran; Wade Campbell; Evan Stuart

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This paper, which serves to accompany a presentatiopn at the AMPP Annual Conference 2024, discusses the preperation and coating of coincrete with thermal spray zinc to protect the underlying steel reinforcement from corrosion on two bridges in regon. Descriptions cover the inspection, preperation, and repair of the concrete, and then follow up woth explanations on the application of the thermal zinc coating. Lastly, the presentation will summarize how the anode provided by the zinc coating protects the underlying steel reinforcement, and how it can be maintained and inspected over ites expected service life.

Recent Developments in the Worldwide Use - Performance of Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) Rebar

Product Number: 51324-20825-SG

Author: John Krzywicki

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This presentation and accompanying research summary demonstrate hot-dip galvanized (HDG) rebar’s performance protecting reinforced concrete structures and highlight technical research confirming its chloride durability in concrete via a study conducted by the Galvanizers Association of Australia (GAA). The resulting study also produced a model for determining chloride penetration in concrete and concludes that reduced concrete cover can be considered in structures that use HDG rebar, which has a substantial impact on sustainability (raw material usage and length of service). Along with this new research on chloride durability modeling, a review of recent case studies, inspections and installations confirms its longevity and growing popularity amongst specifiers to provide long term corrosion resistance in concrete.

Severe microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of pure zinc and galvanized steel in the presence of Desulfovibrio vulgaris

Product Number: 51320-14537-SG

Publication Date: 2020

Zinc and its alloys are used as sacrificial anodes because zinc is an active metal. Carbon steel can be coated with zinc to protect against corrosion. These metals are known as galvanized steel. In this work, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of pure zinc and galvanized steel caused by a sulfate reducing bacterium was investigated. After 7 days of incubation in 125 mL anaerobic vials with 100 mL culture medium and 1 mL inoculum, the sessile cell count on the galvanized steel was slightly higher than that on pure zinc. The abiotic weight loss for pure zinc was 1.4 ± 0.1 mg/cm2 vs. 4.6 ± 0.1 mg/cm2 for galvanized steel after 7 days of anaerobic incubation at 37oC. The weight losses for galvanized steel and pure zinc were 31.5 ± 2.5 mg/cm2 and 35.4 ± 4.5 mg/cm2, respectively, which were 10X larger than the previously reported carbon steel weight loss in the same SRB broth. Electrochemical corrosion tests confirmed the severe corrosion of these two metals. The corrosion current densities of galvanized and pure zinc were 25.5 µA/cm2 and 100 µA/cm2, respect􀀀vely at the end of the 7-day incubation with SRB, confirming that pure zinc was more prone to SRB MIC than galvanized steel. In both cases, the corrosion product was mainly ZnS. Three MIC mechanisms were possible for the severe corrosion. Extracellular electron transfer MIC is thermodynamically favorable for Zn. Furthermore, the detection of H2 evolution in the vials suggest that proton attack and H2S attack occurred against Zn in the SRB broth with neutral pH after passive film damage by the SRB biofilm.
