Corrosion Control
Advances in Corrosion Control Coating Technology A JPCL eBook
This JPCL (paintsquare.com) eBook is five articles on coatings: Fluoroethylene vinyl ether, polyurethane, polyurea and hybrids.
Anti-Corrosion Coatings for Different Service Exposures
“Service Exposures” are the environmental factors that effect the corrosion of various materials. These factors and the materials themselves dictate the selection of coatings for a given application. This corrosionpedia.com article identifies the generic types of coatings to be employed, specific coating in the “Generic Polymer Coatings” category and three “General Tips for Selecting a Coating”. They are: 1) For acid, alkali, or salt resistance, use urethane, coal tar epoxy, and chlorinated rubber coatings 2) For solvent resistance, use zinc inorganic, urethane, or chlorinate rubber and 3) For an oxidizing environment, use vinyl and urethane, or zinc inorganic coatings Surface preparation is also briefly covered.
Asset Integrity and Fabric Maintenance by Lee Wilson
An asset’s integrity is its ability to perform as required. “Fabric”, as Wilson uses the term, is the materials from which the asset is built. This article is about corrosion control on North Sea oil rigs so the plants that he is writing about require much more maintenance than commercial buildings. They’re also much harder to maintain and the consequences of not doing so more serious. The principles however are the same and considering those principles in the context of such an extreme application is useful to inspectors and managers of commercial buildings.

corrosionpedia
corrosionpedia is sponsored by Corrosion and Abrasion Solutions Ltd. (CASL). It includes an extensive “dictionary” of terms related to corrosion and abrasion and many articles on those subjects in the industrial, construction and marine industries.
Detecting Defects in Steel Surfaces
This Blastjournal.com article is very well illustrated with photorealistic computer imagery of surface and weld defects in steel with notes on how to modify those surfaces to make them compliant with ISO 8501-3, “Preparation of Steel Substrates Before Application of Paints and Related Products”, grades P1, P2 of P3.
