Effect of surface contaminants on coating life / by Appleman, Bernard R.(CARDINAL)310313; United States.Federal Highway Administration.Office of Engineering & Highway Operations Research and Development.(CARDINAL)286896; Steel Structures Painting Council.(CARDINAL)288561;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 240-242).Introduction -- Review of previous work -- Developing methods for sampling and analyzing contaminants -- Field survey of bridge blast cleaning operations -- Screening tests on abrasives and their effect on coating performance -- Full-scale accelerated testing -- Summary and conclusions -- Appendices.Final report;This study investigated the influence of soluble salts on the performance and lifetime of protective coatings on steel bridges. Laboratory and field methods were established for measuring chloride ion, sulfate ion, ferrous ion, ammonium ion, conductivity and pH, and for extracting aqueous samples from blast cleaned steel. Aqueous samples were extracted from blast cleaned steel surfaces of 18 bridges and analyzed using the methods established. Comparisons were made among the level and type of salts (principally chloride and sulfate) and the type, structure, and environment of the bridges. Plates were blast cleaned with a variety of commonly used abrasives to determine the amount of salt transferred to the steel. The effect of those abrasives on the performance of several coatings was evaluated in a pressure immersion screening test.Performed by Steel Structures Painting Council for Office of Engineering and Highway Operations R&D, FHWA, under contract no.
