Researchers from Equinor and the Institute for Energy Technology have developed an improved corrosion fatigue test methodology for unbonded flexible risers. By more accurately simulating annulus environments and protective corrosion films, the approach provides more reliable fatigue life predictions and has already enabled the safe extension of service life for six offshore risers beyond their original design life. 🔗 Read more: content.ampp.org/materials-p… #Corrosion #CorrosionFatigue #FlexibleRisers #OffshoreEngineering #AssetIntegrity #OilAndGas #MaterialsScience #MaterialsPerformance #StructuralIntegrity #EngineeringResearch

🌊 Real-World Testing Proves Zinc-Rich Coatings Still Reign Offshore Not all coatings are created equal—and not all tests tell the full story. Alex Yagüe Marrón, senior scientist at Hempel, took corrosion protection to the next level with a year-long field study in real offshore environments. His AMPP conference paper tested multiple coating systems, both zinc-rich and zinc-free, on carbon steel panels exposed to harsh conditions in Spain’s Biscay Bay and El Bocal. 🔬 The result? Zinc-rich primers delivered: ✔️ 8x better rust resistance in splash zones ✔️ Stronger adhesion after prolonged exposure ✔️ Reduced long-term maintenance needs Read more at ampp.mydigitalpublication.co… #CorrosionControl #ZincRichPrimers #OffshoreStructures #RealWorldTesting #MaterialsPerformance #MarineEngineering

In a recently published white paper, experts at @induron examined the expected service life of coatings for potable water linings while combining that knowledge with an interpretation of the total applied costs of these systems. On a recent Materials Performance (MP) Magazine podcast, Induron’s William “Bill” Seawell, technical service manager, and Andy Odorzynski, national sales manager, elaborated further on expectations for water tank primers (both zinc and epoxy); how corrosion processes work; and the most important properties a water tank primer should have.

This article highlights several analytical techniques used to evaluate industrial coatings. It addresses methods used for research and development, manufacturing, quality control, and failure analysis. A toolbox full of good analytical equipment and the knowledge of how to use it makes a big difference when determining why a product works or may have failed. Knowing how to evaluate the root cause of a problem and having the tools to do so can be a significant aid in the trouble-resolution process.
