Abstract: This paper presents the results of factorial experiment applied to optimize Matrix‑Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) and Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) coating technologies used to improve the corrosion resistance of steels. MnTa₂O₆ pseudo-binary oxides and 5,10-(4-carboxy-phenyl)-15,20-(4-phenoxy-phenyl)-porphyrin was used for these experiments to obtained thin film coating system of hybrid nanostructures. Based on factorial experiments, correlations between the main technological parameters of the coating process (MAPLE laser energy E_MAPLE [mJ], PLD laser energy E_PLD [mJ]) and porphyrin concentration and the main related property of the coating system (corrosion protection factor) were determined. The base material used as substrate in the experiments was S235JR+C. Electrochemical measurements showed that by applying the appropriate parameters of the coating technologies, homogeneous layered sandwich thin films were obtained and corrosion rate was reduced by more than 7 times.

Abstract: Water-based coating systems are becoming increasingly popular among consumers due to their simple application and a wide range of colours. A common mistake made by users of these coating systems is neglecting of diagnostics of the corrosive environment and failing to eliminate the factors that cause corrosion aggressiveness. On the boundary of two different environments there can be corrosion products developed and dust particles deposited, which may cause, under certain circumstances, development of deeply hidden corrosion, and thus reduce the level of protection of the substrate. In order to provide long-term protection of the substrate the coating system must be able to eliminate the corrosion agents effectively. In addition to the requirements for aesthetic value set by the consumers, also environmental aspects must be taken into account in the long-term protection of the substrate.

Abstract: Steel constructions are an integral part of our lives, surrounding us almost everywhere. They are used for erection of various halls, bridge structures, railings etc. Each steelwork is more or less impaired by corrosion, respectively a certain level of corrosion aggressiveness of the environment. Corrosion is the cause of material degradation - referred to rusting. In order to avoid this unwanted phenomenon to the maximum extent possible, we use various methods and technologies protecting the relevant material and preventing from corrosion occurrence and development. This article deals with one of the methods aimed at corrosion protection of structural steelwork - duplex coating system that is assured by means of hot dip galvanizing followed by paint system application.

Abstract: This paper is about a design to steel structure anticorrosive coating of one domestic bridge which is 100-year design Life by using the latest life cycle cost analysis (LCC).With comparing the fees of four painting program, the most optimized economic is program IV, that is arc spraying aluminum、dilution epoxy MIO, universal epoxy antirust paint and polyurethane topcoat system. It has a important guiding significance to design anti-corrosion coating of other bridge steel structure.

Abstract: To develop long-term anticorrosive coatings for protection of steel structures and ships and platforms, and to shorten exploitation period of this type coating, the anticorrosive property of three marine anticorrosive coatings systems with the Fluorocarbon top coating, Fluoro/acrylate top coating and Fluoro varnish top were evaluated rapidly by the accelerated corrosion environmental spectra test and Surface Stability Test (SST) based on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). A corrosive environmental spectrum, which includes salt fog test, immersion test and UV irradiation test blocks, was proposed for accelerated test of marine protective coatings. Performence of the three systems was tested with scratched specimens and uniform specimens, and evaluated by using glossimeter, stereo microscope and image process. The results show that the system with Fluoro varnish top coating has much better anti-corrosive property than the others. The results obtained by SST method agree well with those by the accelerated corrosion environmental spectra test. SST method is a more easy-to-use and more rapid method to evaluate the anti-corrosive property of metal coated by protective coatings.

Abstract: The isothermal low cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviors of a directionally solidified (DS) nickel base superalloy, coated with a NiCrAlYSi coating were studied. The study concerned NiCrAlYSi coating formed by an arc-discharged physical vapor deposition (PVD) process for protection against high-temperature corrosion and oxidation of gas turbine blades. The effect of protective coating on LCF life of coating/substrate system was investigated at high temperatures and compared with uncoated alloy. The test results show that coating has no or less effect on LCF life under high strain range and the LCF life is governed by the fatigue behavior of substrate at different temperatures. However, when strain range is smaller, crack initiation and propagation are observably affected by temperature, which leads to a shorter LCF life of coating/substrate system at 500°C and a longer LCF life at 760°C or 980°C.
