SHORT-TERM EVALUATION PROCEDURES FOR COATINGS ON STEEL: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. FINAL REPORT

Mathematical analysis of accelerated aging tests were made with the goal of quantitatively predicting the service life of a coating system for an intended operating and service environment. Reliability theory and life testing analysis were the methods applied for the purpose of predicting performance. These techniques were found to be applicable to the accelerated aging of two coating systems and valid estimates of the coating systems service life could be made.
