METALLISED COATINGS FOR CORROSION CONTROL OF NAVAL SHIP STRUCTURES AND COMPONENTS

This report is in microfiche form. In an effort to improve the control of corrosion the U.S. Navy has undertaken a programme of coating corrosion-susceptible shipboard components with thermally- sprayed aluminium. This report reviews this programme in detail, and also discusses the performance of alternative metallic coatings. It is concluded that thermally-sprayed aluminium can provide effective long-term protection against corrosion. At present such coatings are providing excellent protection to below-deck components, but improve- ments are desirable for above-deck service. Several recommendations are made for further upgrading of the performance of these coatings.
