Many professionals contend that roughly 80% of premature coating failures are a result of applicator errors. This percentage is currently used as a “rule of thumb” when predicting the cause of coating failures. From the year 2000 through 2023, more than 130 paints and coatings failures were assessed, and the results allow us to determine if this rule of thumb is accurate. The data also provides critical information to improve as an industry, as well as to prevent coating failures in the future. In this webcast, attendees will learn: ? Coating Failure Responsibility Breakdown: Is the 80% rule of thumb still accurate? ? Does third-party coating inspection make a difference? ? What are some of the associated costs of premature coating failure ? What are the common causes of premature coating failure ? What Best Practices can asset owners implement to reduce future failures ???

This study evaluated the deterioration of metallic structures used in construction in Tijuana, a city located in a marine environment in Northwest Mexico. Microanalysis illustrates the macro and micro deterioration of the metallic structures evaluated, including Type A-316 austenitic stainless steels that have high corrosion resistance, as well as excellent physicochemical and mechanical properties, required in buildings in any location of Mexico. The metallic structures presented uniform and pitting corrosion due to the presence of air pollutants. ??Login or subscribe to read at https://ow.ly/C4RM50Ug9EI #MaterialScience #CorrosionPrevention #SustainableBuilding #InfrastructureSafety #EngineeringExcellence #MarineEnvironment

#sponsored Para la mayoría de los usuarios de las calderas, las fallas se deben a la calidad y el tratamiento del agua, y a la corrosión de la caldera, pero, pueden ocurrir hasta 8 o 10 mecanismos de da?o en calderas pirotubulares y hasta 20 diferentes mecanismos de da?o en calderas acuotubulares. Cada componente es susceptible a da?os diferentes en función de sus condiciones de operación y se tiene que conocer la relación entre los mecanismos de da?o y las condiciones de operación, para tener cuidados durante la operación diaria de la caldera, establecer planes de inspección y análisis causa raíz de fallas (RCA, por sus siglas en inglés). En este webcast, aprenderás: ?Cuáles mecanismos de da?o pueden afectar la integridad y confiabilidad de diferentes partes de una caldera, además de la corrosión por la calidad del agua? ?Cómo las condiciones de operación pueden promover mecanismos de da?os en las diferentes partes de la caldera y cómo pueden afectar al mismo tratamiento de agua que asumimos adecuado? ?? https://lnkd.in/gkURfEs4
