A New Water-Based PVDF System for Weatherable Coatings

Product Number: 41209-500-SG

Author: Jerry Petersheim

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)-based coatings are recognized by architects as a premium weatherable coating technology. They provide years of color and gloss retention along with corrosion protection. However, PVDF based coatings have been limited to factory-applied finishes on metal since the coatings require high-temperature processing.

Environmental Enclosures: Case Study of Mobile Environmental Enclosures: USS Abraham Lincoln

Product Number: 41208-409-SG

Author: Frank Dobosz

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

The purpose of the discussion is to illustrate the success of non-skid replacement on flight decks of naval vessels utilizing mobile and static environmental enclosures. The product is unique, in these projects, however has many crossover applications in the coatings and alternate markets. Most of the information we will be talking about does not bring earth shattering news to those of you who perform the work, rather information that there is a solution to the problem.

Forms of Corrosion - Recognition and Prevention, 2nd Edition

Product Number: 37626-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-354-5

Author: Dale McIntyre

$215.00

This is a print-on-demand (POD) book that will be produced just for you in 2-5 days after your order. It should arrive at your door in about one to two weeks. However, due to supply chain and logistic challenges currently affecting the industry, it may take longer. Allow three weeks for international orders.

The Second Edition of this classic reference book adds updated commentary and many new case studies. Mechanisms and numerous scenarios illustrate general, localized and galvanic corrosion, environmental cracking, erosion-corrosion, cavitation, fretting, intergranular attack, dealloying, and high-temperature corrosion.

The purpose of this book is to introduce the eight forms of corrosion and illustrate the forms’ macro- and microappearances as they occur in conventional engineering metals and alloys. Diagrams are occasionally employed to illustrate mechanisms, but photographs and photomicrographs are employed whenever possible, together with case histories, to aid understanding of the situations discussed and the means taken to ameliorate them.

This book presents detailed corrosion mechanisms and case histories of a wide variety of corrosion problems from chemical plants, oil production and refining, utilities, pipelines, transport by air, land, and sea, electronics, and the preservation of historical artifacts. The uses of advanced analytical techniques such as electron microscopy, metallography, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Aüger spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques are presented to illustrate their utility in corrosion failure investigations.

Forms of Corrosion: Recognition & Prevention-Chapter 1--General Corrosion of Metals

Product Number: 37626-Ch01

$125.00

The classic AMPP reference book Forms of Corrosion: Recognition & Prevention presents a crash course of the eight major forms of corrosion. Each chapter provides an introduction lesson that then leads to an abundance of Case Histories that present both problems and solutions for each form of corrosion.

While the editors show that all eight forms of corrosion overlap to some extent, the focus of Chapter 1, "General Corrosion of Metals," is clear by its title.

This chapter alone has 58 Case Histories related to the corrosion of metals and details the environment, conditions, and solution suggestions to help any student or technician reference thier real-life situation with documented solutions.

Formulating High Performance Coatings with Novel Adhesion Test Methods

Product Number: 41215-939-SG

Author: Yutao Yang

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Adhesion performance is required for every coating system. The adhesion between coatings and substrates is one of the most critical determining factors in the overall success of any coating material. Material design and formulation are key components of high-performance coatings and rely heavily on the accurate measurement and evaluation of adhesion in the coating systems.

ILI Validation – Overview And Case Studies

Product Number: 51322-18144-SG

Author: Laurence Kuan, Cameron Sjerve, Kurtis Bell, Ana Benz

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The pipeline industry strives to keep pipelines running safely and reliably. The process involves many steps, specialized groups, and decisions:^{1, 2, 3}

1. The group that chooses the lines or segments to be inspected with in-line inspection (ILI). This work entails choosing the ILI tools for the anticipated integrity threat.

2. The ILI tool runs to detect and identify defects.

3. Maintenance, repair, and excavation digs.

4. The ILI validation.

5. Defect growth predictions and risk-based programs to establish maintenance and repair practices.

Maintenance Practice on the Golden Gate Bridge

Product Number: 41207-386-SG

Author: Noel Stampfli

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

This paper discusses the history of coatings maintenance on the Golden Gate Bridge and the modern maintenance process including bi-annual inspection, prioritizing, scheduling and execution. Several current projects including water jetting and suspender painting are also discussed.

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) in the Upstream Oil & Gas Sector

Product Number: 37674-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-424-5

Author: Ali Morshed

$125.00

NEW TITLE AVAILABLE NOW!! The main objective for Dr. Ali Morshed's new book, A Practical Guide to Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) in the Upstream Oil & Gas Sector, was to produce a practical MIC guide to facilitate the identification, monitoring, assessment, and control of bacterial activity and MIC that might arise within assets associated with the upstream oil and gas sector.

“Practical” refers to content that can be readily related to various bacterial and MIC scenarios, which are likely to arise for any upstream operator and (a content which) can be easily used to resolve, rectify, or improve such MIC scenarios.

In brief, this book has been written to further help and facilitate bacterial and MIC troubleshooting for the operators and asset owners concerned.

Five relevant and informative case studies are also included.

Shop Coat vs. Field Coat: The Pros and Cons

Product Number: 41216-951-SG

Author: Charles S. Brown

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

There seems to be a trend for bridge owners to believe that applying all three coats of paint in the shop is more cost effective and will provide for a better coatings job on new steel. This paper will discuss the differences between shop coating and field painting and the pros and cons of shop applied coatings versus field applied coatings on new steel.

Surface Cleanliness Measurement Tool

Product Number: 51220-296-SG

Author: Craig Wallbank

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Surface cleanliness has been measured visually for the past 30 years using SSPC –VIS- 1 (ISO 8501-1) reference photographs. This method, while recognized as the industry standard, does have its disadvantages. It is deemed a subjective measurement rather than objective and is vulnerable to human error.
