Metallic Coatings & Paints

WebCorr has NACE certified Corrosion Specialist providing customized corrosion training courses, expert witness and litigation support, corrosion consultancy, and corrosion failure analysis services related to paints and metallic coatings including thermal spray metallizing, galvanizing, anodizing, chromating, phosphating, electroplating, electroless plating, mechanical plating, and sheradizing or diffusion coating.
 

Some of the corrosion consultancy services that we provide include:

  • Selection of coatings and paints to meet your project requirements.

  • Review of technical specifications on your coatings related project to identify potential corrosion failures, compatibility and performance of coatings, and any clauses in the specification that may lead to potential dispute, arbitration or litigation between the contractors and and facility owners. Corrosion liability can be avoided through proper specifications.

  • Coatings inspection and performance evaluation.

  • Quality assessment of anodized aluminum (anodic coatings), chromate and phosphate coatings.

  • Optimization of process parameters in coatings operations.

  • Troubleshooting process-related issues .

  • Measurements of impedance and or admittance of anodized aluminium in accordance with relevant ASTM, BS and ISO standards.

  • Coatings failure analysis and paints failure analysis.

  • Verification and measurements of seal quality and seal value of anodized coatings aluminum using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and equivalent circuit modeling.

  • Verification and assessment of surface preparation standard of coated steel structure for its compliance with contract.

  • Failure analysis and troubleshooting electroplating, electroless plating, anodizing, galvanizing, chromating, and other surface treatment processes.

  • Testing and equivalent circuit modeling of coatings with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

  • Life prediction of paints and metallic coatings including thermal spray metallizing, galvanizing, anodizing, chromating, phosphating, electroplating, electroless plating, mechanical plating, and sheradizing.

  • Failure analysis of paints and metallic coatings including thermal spray metallizing, galvanizing, anodizing, chromating, phosphating, electroplating, electroless plating, mechanical plating, and sheradizing.

  • Expert witness and assistance in litigation and arbitration matters related to paints and metallic coatings including thermal spray metallizing, galvanizing, anodizing, chromating, phosphating, electroplating, electroless plating, mechanical plating, and sheradizing or diffusion coating.
