... alloys and the protective coatings. Three kinds of Ni-base superalloys were selected as the substrate: a single crystal alloy, CMSX-4; a directionally solidified alloy, CM247LC; and a polycrystalline alloy, IN738LC. On these substrate specimens the CoNiCrAlY alloy was coated by 250 μm in thickness by low...

... into susceptible metals when compared with similar levels of abiotic sulfides, corrosion fatigue crack growth rates are slower in biological environments than in similar abiotic conditions. Moreover, bacteria also decrease the performance of cathodic protection of steel and protective coatings in marine...

... Coatings evaluation methodologies using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronoamperometry are described for high-performance corrosion protective coating systems. Three types of coating systems were studied: (1) fusion-bonded epoxy, (2) a marine-service epoxy, and (3...

... Engineering policy has been to use protective coatings on the stainless steel. No special insulation materials, inhibitors, or protective weather barriers have been used to prevent external stress corrosion cracking (ESCC). During these past 20 years, there has been only a few incidents of ESCC of painted...

... This paper covers 45 years of personal experience in the development of corrosion-resistant protective coatings for steel and concrete and experience in industry practices in corrosion prevention since World War II. The performance of traditional coatings for the protection of steel is outlined...
