Accelerated corrosion test methods are regularly utilized in coating industries to predict the performance of coatings in real life exposure. The performance of coatings in these accelerated tests is a key step in the product development cycle. It is essential to understand different factors that may introduce variability in the test result.

Metals and their alloys offer high strength and outstanding mechanical properties. When exposed to corrosive conditions metals corrode first creating minor aesthetic problems then with time and further corrosion significant damage and a loss of service life. Corrosion has a demonstrated economic impact on all modern societies. Often multi-layer anticorrosion coatings systems protect the metal from corrosion.
With more stringent silica regulations being enforced, wet abrasive blasting is becoming more prevalent in the industry. We investigated the viability of wet abrasive blasting as compared to the more commonly used dry abrasive blast. One added benefit of wet abrasive blasting is the removal of soluble salts in addition to providing the specified profile.
International standards, both ISO and ASTM, require that the attributes exhibited during an adhesion test are recorded as part of the results. What are these attributes, how should they be recorded and what value are they to the inspector and applicator in assessing the reason for failure? This paper looks at all these questions and asks should we be going further than we do in defining the mode of failure.
In our world of protective coatings, water usually seems to cause trouble. In relation to coating concrete - determining how wet the manhole structure is paramount in our struggle to rehabilitate these manholes. And we are not talking about the manholes used to contain water during heavy rains or floods, strictly the sanitary manholes. A few ASTM test methods are important tools.
This “Work Force Development Initiatives” presentation will detail 2 initiatives that are being undertaken by both the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) and the Shipbuilders Council of America (SCA) on Work Force Development for 2019-2020.
