INFLUENCE OF THE STEEL SURFACE ON THE COATING PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Metal sprayed coatings, mainly zinc, are used within the CEGB for important steel structures requiring maintenance‐free protection. To the author's knowledge the very few failures experienced have been obviously linked to a very poor, or even non‐existent, standard of surface preparation. For example, areas of intact millscale were found beneath the metal coating.
