Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components due to their light weight and excellent mechanical properties. However, the alloying elements which contribute to the good mechanical properties also make the alloy prone to localized corrosion. One of the most common and economic approaches to protect Al alloys from corrosion is to apply coatings as protective layers. For example, powder coatings and magnesium-rich primers (MgRP) are both widely used for the corrosion protection of Al alloys.

Pipeline Enhanced Corrosion Management Analysis (ECMA) was conducted over transmission pipelines that experienced considerable external metal loss after a short time in operation. Pipeline historical and current data, pipe design, construction, soil, corrosion control, monitoring, inspection and operational were reviewed.
A quantitative technique was developed to assess the extent of corrosion damage in two sets of coated lap coupons: one exposed at several outdoor test sites and one that underwent both neutral and acidified salt fog testing. Techniques includeded imaging and analyzing the corroded surfaces with 3D optical profilometry.
Quantitative analysis of the corrosion morphology after accelerated testing and outdoor exposures of lapjoint test panels coupled with various fastener materials. Image analysis of 3-D microscope images was used to quantify average depth of attack and percent surface area damage.
Test methodologies for protective coatings of aircraft are analyzed and evaluated in a variety of conditions. Mechanisms and kinetics of damage progression are quantified using in situ measurements of coating system properties.
This paper describes the results of a research study to determine the effectiveness of various rehabilitation materials and techniques for concrete bridges. This work reflects the needs for identifying effective materials and techniques to offer protection against corrosion of steel in concrete as well as patch repair in concrete girders.
Very thick polyurethane coatings are used to provide corrosion protection for water pipelines that must be placed below ground and then may be exposed to ground water. Occasionally there are construction delays and pipe sections remain above ground for extended periods before installation. Under these conditions, atmospheric conditions and exposure to solar UV light cause the coatings to lose gloss and become yellow. These changes can be very obvious and thus raise concerns that the corrosion protective qualities of the coating have also similarly diminished.
This paper compares and contrasts the accelerated laboratory autoclave (NACE TM0185) performance at 300°F (149°C), and 250 psig, of eight polycyclamine cured epoxy linings. The latter were tested for tank, vessel and pipe spool applications in the oil and gas industry. Five of the linings were commercially available and three were experimental. A modified amine cured epoxy was also evaluated in the study, a lining used to transport shale oil in railcars at temperatures up to 200°F (93°C).
The DoD functions under a wide array of infrastructure to include, but not limited to, ships, tanks, combat vehicles and buildings. Due to the nature and need of the building materials, these are always at risk for corrosion, causing the infrastructure to literally crumble. This obviously puts Soldiers in harm’s way due to issues such as weapon misfiring and structural failures.
Silicone room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) polymer based coatings were designed with maintenance, and extending asset design life in mind. This technology can be tailored to be used as the backbone for a wide variety of coating applications by taking advantage of the inherent properties of RTV silicone.
A two-year FHWA in-house study was launched in November 2006 to evaluate various coating materials that can be applied as one-coat systems to steel bridges. A total of eight test materials plus a 3-coat system and a 2-coat control system were applied over near-white steel test panels (SSPC-SP10). Their performance is being monitored using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, various surface failures, rust creepage at scribe, adhesion, and change of color and gloss.
The FHWA 100-year coating study was initiated in August 2009. The objective of this study is to identify and evaluate coating materials that can provide 100 years of maintenance-free service life for steel bridges.
