The formulation of priming paints for structural steel

Abstract

Factors bearing on the selection of priming paints are first discussed. Then interim results of collaborative researches by Joint Technical Panel J/P1 of the Protective Coatings (Corrosion) Sub‐Committee, of the British Iron and Steel Research Association, and the British paint industry are presented. For weathered steel, priming paints in a linseed‐oil medium have proved better than those in all other media tested, and one pigmented with a mixture of red lead, white lead and asbestine is recommended. Good results have also been obtained from priming paints pigmented with aluminium powder, basic lead sulphate or zinc oxide, with or without asbestine, in an alkyd medium and by pigmented paints derived from blends of the natural bitumen, Gilsonite, and various drying oils.

RETRACTED: Mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of low-alloy steels in atmospheric conditions containing chloride

“…The development of weathering steels dates back to the 1930s and they have been used widely since then because of their unique corrosion resistance [8,9]. In the 1950s, a WS called Cor-Ten A [8][9][10][11] was developed in North America.…”

“…In the 1950s, a WS called Cor-Ten A [8][9][10][11] was developed in North America. Its outstanding corrosion resistance is suitable for the North American continental climate, but it does not perform as well in the semi-tropical monsoon climate of an island with high humidity and salinity.…”

Interactions between steels and sulphide-producing bacteria—Corrosion of carbon steels and low-alloy steels in natural seawater

“…Based on previous immersion test results [1][2][3][4][5][6], Melchers proposes a model for the corrosion of low-alloy steels in seawater [16,17]. Only generalised corrosion is considered in this model, which is composed of four successive phases.…”

“…The study of marine corrosion of low-alloy steels began 50 or 60 years ago [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], in order to understand the effect of alloying elements on corrosion resistance properties. In these experiments, microbiological parameters were rarely considered.…”

Maintenance of Painted Steel-sheet Roofs on Historical Buildings in Sweden

“…There is existing research on historical anticorrosive painting systems, but is limited in terms of the complexity of conservation (Dillmann et al 2013;Martin 2012, 2013;Watkinson 2013). Research from the previous century on the outdoor use of linseed oil paints is still viable Carter 1950, 1953;Hudson and Stanners 1955;IVA 1935IVA , 1961Mayne 1970). An exceptional contribution is made by Karlsdotter Lyckman (2005).…”
