Non-ferrous metals as coatings ‘Metal coating is an effective method of retarding or preventing corrosion of ferrous materials. Zine and aluminium. or their alloys with each other and with iron, are the mast commonly used, usually as hot dip or thermally sprayed metallic coatings, because they protect iron and steel both by barrier action and by galvanic action, Corrosion of zine. aluminiat and ther alloys is afected by the time for which they are exposed to wetness and contamination (of the surface. but the vorrasion rates are much slower than for steel and often decrease with time: the relative importance of different contaminants also changes ‘These non-ferrous coatings may be left unmaintained if the otal corrosion ofthe coating and the underlying iron or steel is insufficient to affect the performance of the sructure in its designed period of use.

Substances that deposit on the surface ofthe iron and steel increase corrosion if they absorb moisture or go into Soluion fon the surface of the ion and steel. The temperature also influences the corrosion sale of unprovected iron and steel and temperature fluctuations have a Singer effect dian the average temperature value ‘The macro enviroment is best defined by scientific measurements (e.g. relative humidity. temperature. sulfate and chloride deposition rates) but such data are often not availabe.

For some uses, eg. earth reinforcement, a controlled backlill is used in conjunction with a metal coating. Corrosion cells can also form atthe sol/air and soil/ground water level interfaces, leading possibly o increased corrosion and. these areas should be given special consideration. Conversely, the application of cathodic protection for structures in soil (or in ‘water) can both modify the protective coating reyuirements and lengthen their life, Specialist advice should be sought for full ‘guidance on all conditions involved. ‘The factors influencing corrosion in soil make it impracticable to include simple guidance in table 2 6.3 Corrosion in water ‘The ype of water — soft or hard fresh waterfbrackish water/salt water — has a major influence on the corrosion of iron and slee! in water and the selection of protective metal coatings. With zinc coatings, corrosion is affected primarily by the chemical composition ofthe water but temperature. pressure, flow rate, agitation and oxygen availability are all important, For example, Zinc should not be used in hot non-scale-forming waters; heavy corrosion of zinc can also occur in condensate, especially between about $5°°C and 80°C (e.g. in saunas). Otherwise barrier protection can occur at all temperatures; below about 60°C, zine can also provide cathodic protection. The duration of life of zinc surfaces in cold scale-forming waters is usually higher than in non-scale-forming waters (Ryznar's or Lanyelier’s index should be used to calculate whether the water is scale-forming). Choice of aluminium or zine is often on the basis of pH value: aluminium for pH <5 or 6; zinc for pH >S or 6 {depending on ‘other factors). Since the composition of non-saline waters can vary grealy, previous experience or expert advice should be sought. For hot water, specialist advice should always be sought (see also for example DIN 50930-3:1991). Coatings used for all structures including pipes. fittings. tanks and tank covers) in contact with potable water should be non-toxic and should not {impart any taste or odour. colour or turbidity to the water, nor foster microbial attack.

Welding should be balanced (ie. equal amounts exch side of the main axis) to avoid introducing unbalanced stresses in structure. Welding residues have ta be removed before coating. The normal pretreatments for thermal spraying are uswally sufficient for this purpose but extra pretreatment may be needed lor hot dip galvanizing; in particular, weld slag should be removed separately. ‘Some forms of welding leave alkaline deposits hehind, These have to be removed by blast-cleaning followed by washing with clean water before applying thermally-sprayed coatings. (This does not apply to hot dip galvanizing where the pretreatment process removes alkaline deposits.) 11 is desirable that fabrication takes place without the use of a blast primer as this has to be removed before hot dipping ot ‘thermal spraying Where welding takes place after hot dip galvanizing or thermal spraying. itis preferable before welding zo eemove the coating locally in the area of the weld to ensure the highest quality weld, After welding, protection should be appropriately restored locally by thermal spraying, ‘solder sticks’ andlor zine dust paints. ‘Alter welding of coated steels, the surface should be prepared to the standard specified for preparing the steelwork overall before applying paint or fusion-bonded powder coatings. Assemblies comprising different metals needi different preeatments should be discussed with the processor. 743 Brazing or soldering Soft soldered assemblies cannot be hot dip glvanized and brazing should be avoided if possible — many types of brazing are unsuitable for hot dip galvanizing. The galvanizer should be consulted if brazing is being considered, Since corrosive fluxes may be used in these processes, removal of flux residues after the coating process is essential to avoid corrosion ofthe coated parts: the design ofthese parts should facilitate this. 7.5. Zinc or aluminium coatings with an overcoating 180 12944-5 gives information on zine or aluminium costings with an overcoating. For less aggressive environments (or for shorter lives than indiited) a single coat of paint, over pretreatment if specified, is suficient. For more aggressive and wet environments, two coats of paint are used to minimize through-pores. ‘The life of a coated structure is longer than the life ofa coating system as some steel can be lost by vorrosion before a structure becomes unserviceable. IF tis necessary to prolong the life ofthe coating still further, maintenance has to take place before any rusting occurs and preferably while atleast 20 jm to 30 um of metallic coating remains. This gives a maintained metal plus ‘overcoating system a longer otal life than a simple paint coating If maintenance is delayed until the eoating his been consumed and rusting has started, the iron and steel have to be maint inthe same way as rusted paimed tee ‘The total life of a metal plus overcoating system iy usually significantly greater than the sum of the lives ofthe metal coating, (given in table 2} and a suitable paint or fusion-bonded powder coating used separately.
