A New Protocol for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Coatings Used to Reduce Corrosion of Steel Structures

Product Number: 51220-295-SG

Author: Giri Venkiteela, Perumalsamy Balaguru

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Details of a new protocol for evaluating the effectiveness of coatings to reduce corrosion of steel structures is presented in this paper. Basic concepts of accelerated testing specified in American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standards and recent research investigations were used to develop a procedure that can provide conclusive results within 2400 hours of exposure as compared to more than 5000 hours in current practices.

Assessing Structural Vulnerabilities: Analyzing the Effects of Wildfires on Power Industry Steel Infrastructure

Product Number: 51324-21141-SG

Author: Mehrooz Zamanzadeh; George T. Bayer; Anil Kumar Chikkam; Edward Larkin; Clinton Char

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This paper focuses on the detrimental effects of wildfires on steel structures within the power industry, specifically examining the degradation of mechanical properties in structural materials and protective coatings due to high-temperature exposure. It discusses the impact on transmission and distribution structures, as well as the generation of gases and corrosive substances during wildfires. Furthermore, the paper investigates the influence of high temperatures on the mechanical properties of bare structural steel and the degradation of galvanized steel coating layers. Additionally, it explores the thermal degradation of organic coatings, changes in concrete mechanical properties, and the application of non-destructive techniques for condition assessment, including remote temperature monitoring, on structures exposed to wildfires. This research provides valuable insights into the effects of wildfires on power industry steel structures, enabling better understanding and the development of effective mitigation strategies to safeguard infrastructure and ensure its resilience in fire-prone areas.

Coating of Structural Steel for Public Structures

Product Number: 41205-212-SG

Author: John C. Williams

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

The primary structure of many outdoor baseball parks and football stadiums is exposed structural steel. These facilities are often located in major cities in areas that may present challenges in control of corrosion. The challenge is also manifested in the fact that the structural steel frame becomes an architectural feature which must be maintained as an aesthetic element.

NACE TM0115-2022, Cathodic Disbondment Test for Coated Steel Structures Under Cathodic Protection

Product Number: NACE TM0115-2022

Publication Date: 2022

$109.00

REAFFIRMATION. This AMPP standard test method specifies procedures to evaluate cathodic disbondment resistance of the steel structure coating systems under cathodic protection, such as buried or submerged pipeline and tank linings. The standard covers all test specimen geometries and test temperatures. This standard also takes into consideration all test parameters with the goal of the standard to be used during the selection of protective coating systems for use under cathodic protection. This test method is intended for use by facility owners, coating applicators, and coating manufacturers.

New Coatings in Research vs Military Specified Coatings Used for Steel Structures

Product Number: 51324-21209-SG

Author: Carolyn N. Ortiz; Drew Miller; Rebekah Wilson; Brooke Divan

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Paints and coatings are commonly applied to military steel structures to enhance the durability, corrosion resistance, and protect raw materials. The Paint Technology Center, Technical Center of Expertise (TCX) consistently conducts research and gathers performance data of coating systems new and old for military and civil work infrastructure applications. In this experiment the novel and currently specified coatings were exposed to UV/condensation, salt fog, and low temperature conditions within the laboratory. The performance data collected within this environment show the disparities between these coatings by comparing both nondestructive and destructive testing data. The desire is to present images and comparative graphs of the coatings performance and provide possible application of new coatings analyzed based on the results. It is our goal that the research conducted aids in the acceptance of novel coatings into the existing military coating specification and guides as well as informs new technology development in industry.

Preventing Crevice Corrosion in New and Existing Steel Structures

Product Number: 51218-152-SG

Author: Eric Shoyer

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Steel structures are often fabricated by bolting (or riveting) structural components together. Bolted joints result in multiple crevices between the bolted members and fasteners. These crevices are typically more susceptible to corrosion than flat surfaces because they tend to retain water/contaminants, they are difficult to properly coat, and the crevice geometry tends to support electrochemical phenomena that accelerate corrosion. This paper will evaluate the effectiveness of various coating practices at mitigating corrosion around these joints.

Vinyl Alternative Coatings

Product Number: 51218-153-SG

Author: Jim Smith

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Vinyl coatings have long been used in the hydro industry for steel structures. As VOC regulations and product availability have changed, owners have moved toward alternative technologies to replace those systems. The intent of this information is to understand the status of vinyl technology, identify and discuss other systems that have historically been used as an alternative, and to review the possibilities of new technologies for these applications.
