PAINTING OF METAL-SPRAYED STRUCTURAL STEELWORK. REPORT ON THE CONDITION OF SPECIMENS AFTER FIVE YEARS EXPOSURE
EXPOSURE TRIALS BEGUN IN 1961-62 HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THE RIGHT TYPES OF COMPOSITE PROTECTIVE SCHEME OF SPRAYED METAL AND PAINT CAN PROTECT STEEL FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS IN THE SEVERE ENVIRONMENTS USED. WHERE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED, THEY HAVE BEEN FOR THE MOST PART PREDICTABLE, AND HAVE RESULTED FROM THE DELIBERATE SELECTION FOR THE TRIALS OF EITHER INCORRECT SCHEDULES OF OPERATION OR INJUDICIOUS SCHEMES. IN PARTICULAR, WEATHERING OF INCOMPLETE SCHEMES HAS PROVED DELETERIOUS AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED WHEREVER POSSIBLE. OVER 400 CHANNELS AND MORE THAN 100 PLATE SPECIMENS HAVE BEEN USED FOR THESE TRIALS, WHICH ARE STILL CONTINUING. /A/RRL/
