Corrosion of metals and alloys poses greatproblems from the point of view of conservation ofmetals, operational costs and pollution hazards.One of the most successful methods forcontrolling corrosion is by the application of paintcoatings.

A protective coating is a material composed of synthetic resins orinorganic silicate polymers which, when applied to a suitable su bstratewill provide a continuous coating, that will resist industrial o r marineenvironments. In order to provide corrosion protection, the pro tectivecoating must also.

1. Resist the transfer or penetration through the coating of ions f romsalts, which may contact the coating.

2. Resist the action of osmosis.

3. Expand and contact with underlying surface, and

4. Maintain a good appearance, even under extreme weather condition s.

Protection by coating mainly depends upon three factors

1. The material

2. Surface preparation and

3. Application

If any one of the three is weak, protection value isaffected to that extent

Impermeability

• The ideal impermeable coating should becompletely unaffected by the specificenvironment it is designed to block, be it mostcommonly humidity, water or any othercorrosive agent such as gases, ions orelectrons.

• The ideal impermeable coating should have ahigh dielectric constant and also have perfectadhesion to the underlying surface in order toavoid any entrapment of corrosive agents.

Inhibition• In contrast with coatings developed on the basis of

impermeability, inhibitive coatings function by reactingwith a certain environment to provide a protective filmor barrier on the metallic surface.

• The concept of adding an inhibitor to a primer has beenapplied to coatings of steel vessels since these vesselshave been first constructed.

• Such coatings were originally oil based and heavilyloaded with red lead.

Cathodically protective pigments• As with inhibition, cathodic protection in

coatings is mostly provided by additives in theprimer.

• The main function of these additives is to shiftthe potential of the environment to a lesscorrosive cathodic potential.

• Inorganic zinc based primers are goodexamples of this concept.

ANCHOR PATTERN OR SURFACEPROFILE

1. Surface texture of a metal, produced by abrasive blasting,to assist the adhesion of a coating, is called anchorpattern or surface profile.

2. Most paint systems, especially inorganic zinc coatings,require an anchor pattern-characterised by a surfaceroughness and a roughness profile to obtain properadhesion.

3. It is usually assessed by standardised comparator viz.Rugotest No.3 and Keane-Tator Surface ProfileComparator. Anchor pattern obtained depends on thetype of abrasive used for blasting.

4. Using fine sand of mesh size 80, maximum height ofprofile is found to be 35-37 microns whereas with ironshot of mesh size 14, it is found to be 90 microns

Inspection of surface preparation

Inspection of surface preparationincludes the following: ISO 8501•Cleanliness. Solvent cleaning to removesalt, oil, grease and dust/dirt•Evaluation of present condition (rustgrade)•Evaluation of surface (preparation gradeand roughness)•Remaining contamination acceptable?

Page 20: SCIENTIST PROTECTIVE COATINGS GROUP …chemicaljobs.in/technical/coating-design-and-testing.pdf · CORROSION TESTING & EVALUATION DIVISION CENTRAL ELECTROCHEMICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Anchor Pattern• The anchor pattern or profile is extremely important to

protective coatings in that it provides for excellentcoating adhesion.

• Anchor pattern can be thought of as tiny peaks andvalleys in the substrate being blasted.

• The depth of these “valley’s” is determined by the size,type and hardiness of the abrasive being used; by theair pressure; and by the distance and angle of thenozzle to the surface.

• Too much anchor pattern wastes coating and allowssubstrate to show through; too little anchor patternreduces the bonding surface between the material andthe substrate.

1. The purpose of coating application is to developa continuous highly adherent film with an eventhickness over the substrate.

2. To achieve this, various factors have to beconsidered such as type of coatings and weatherconditions, application methods etc.

3. It is advisable to avoid painting below 10 0C andabove 400C,

4. If the relative humidity is above 80%, during therainy weather and wind velocity is above 24km/hror else freezing will occur before the paint dries.

Primer

The primary function of a primer over steel is to providecorrosion protection. The primer is in direct contactwith the metal surface and must therefore provide a firmbond between the metal and the subsequent coats ofpaint. The primers may well be classified as follows onthe basis of the working principal.

a. Inert primer (primer containing only inert pigments)

b. Inhibitive primer (primer containing inhibitive pigments)

c. Galvanic primer (primers containing zinc or aluminum

pigment)

Undercoat

Undercoats are highly pigmented high build paints possessinghigh impermeability, which follow the primer and providenecessary ground for the finishing coat. In addition an underco atshould posses the following properties.

a. Fairly rapid set to avoid sagging and pulling away from sharpedges

b. Very high impermeability to ions, moisture and air

c. Good adhesion to primer and topcoat.

Top coat

The topcoat completes a paint scheme and serves as the first lin e of

defense against the corrosive environment whilst providing

decoration. At the same time, a good finish coat should offer

adequate protection and be capable of retaining its decorative e ffect

(measured in terms of color and gloss) for a long period. The t opcoat

also protects the entire paint scheme from UV degradation.

COATINGS FOR ACID ATMOSPHERE

1. In many plants it is a common thing to have acidsreleased to the atmosphere and also spillage ofacids.

2. The main points to be taken care of in this case isthat the binder should not be disintegrated whenreacted with acids.

3. Pigments used for paint formulations includingextenders should be non-reacting type.

4. If the acid concentration is comparatively high,special pigments are to be incorporated whichwould take care of the adverse reactions.

Dry film thickness (DFT) Many methods are used for DFT measurements.

They are destructive & non destructive

Magnetic thickness gauges are based on the principlethat the attractive force between a permanent magnetand magnetic metal is inversely proportional to thedistance between them.

The principal limitations are

(i) the film must not be indented by the load and

(ii) the film must not be tacky.

Eddy-current thickness gage

1. Eddy-current thickness gage is designed tomeasure the thickness of non -conductive coatingson non-ferrous substrates.

2. A probe coil energized by an alternating currentinduces eddy current creates an opposingalternating magnetic field in the substrate thatmodifies the electrical characteristics of the coil.

3. The magnitude of these changes is influenced bythe proximity of the substrate, that is, by thethickness of the coating, and is registered on thegage meter.

Hardness and related Properties

Organic coating hardness is difficult to define. Theformulations of the coatings are so designed as toimpart a certain amount of flexibility and elasticity.

In this context, the hardness can only be defined asthe film to indentation or scratching or damping.

A number of methods and instruments are availablebut the common methods are scratch by a pointedtip, using pendulum-rocker type instruments, usingindentor.

Scratch hardness (ASTM B-7027-05)

1. A number of instruments are available for the study of scratchhardness.

2. In all the cases the basic principle is to decide that amount ofload required by a sharp tip or edge to cut through the film.

3. In bare essentials the instrument consists of balanced beam,on one arm of which are a short knife or a pointed stylus anda post upon which weights can be placed.

4. The scratch is examined for the exposure of the base metal.

5. The weights are added or removed to determine exactlyunder what load the tip scratches through the film.

Taber abrasion (ASTM D 4060)1. The specimen in the form of a 4 inch dia or a 4" x 4" sq. is

mounted on a turn table that rotates at 60 rpm under a pair ofabrading wheels in such a manner as to case side slip betweenthe abrading wheel and the surface of the test specimen.

2. 'calibrase' wheels No C.S. – 10 or C.S. – 17 are used. Abrasionresistance of coatings is expressed in terms of weight loss perspecified number of revolutions (e.g. 1000 revolutions) under astated load (e.g. 1000 g).

3. This is the wear index or wear rate. Alternatively, abrasionresistance may be expressed in terms of number of revolutionsrequired to wear through the coating to the substrate under agiven set conditions and this is called wear cycles or amount ofwear.
