  • European Coatings Journal: Softness Gives Strength
    There is a growing trend for higher solids contents in epoxy systems. However, the low molecular weight epoxies required often lead to brittle coatings which are easily damaged. Flexibilisers can improve some properties but compromise others. Traditional toughening agents increase viscosity but can
  • Coatings Fight Environmental Attacks On Oil & Gas Equipment
    Design engineers, operating engineers, and equipment maintenance specialists in the oil and gas industry are increasingly turning to high-tech surface enhancement coatings that allow oil and gas operating equipment and their component parts to withstand the rigors of the environments to which
  • Metallographic Preparation of Thermal Spray Coatings: Coating Sensitivity and the Effect of Polishing Intangibles (.pdf)
    The heterogeneous or composite nature of the thermal spray deposit can make choosing a metallographic preparation process very difficult. Hard vs. soft phases, brittle ceramics, and mixtures of many phases can create a variety of issues. When a procedure is developed, it becomes a necessity
  • Tin Vs. Bare
    as in the case of salt water. Sodium accelerates the chemical reaction that forms the destructive oxide compound. As more of these atoms combine they weaken the integrity of the original metal making it brittle and crumbly, a process commonly known as corrosion. Some pieces of metal are thick enough
