Corrosion protection enamel

Coatings applied for corrosion protection are divided into organic coatings, cement mortar, and enamel and metallic coatings. 

Enamel coatings are applied for internal protection of storage tanks (see Section 20.4.1). Enamel is impervious to water, i.e., it separates the protected object and corrosive medium. Corrosion protection can fail only at defects in the enamel coating and through corrosion of the enamel (see Section 5.4). 

Enamel coatings are used for the internal protection of storage tanks that in most cases have built-in components (e.g., fittings with exits, probes, temperature detectors) that usually exhibit cathodic effectivity. These constitute a considerable danger of pitting corrosion at small pores in the enamel. Corrosion protection is achieved by additional cathodic protection which neutralizes the effectiveness of the cathodic objects. 

Magnesium anodes are widely used in conjunction with enamel coatings. This type of corrosion protection is particularly economical and convenient in small-and medium-sized boilers. The anode only has to ensure protection of small de-... 

Plate anodes were used for corrosion protection in order to avoid damage due to erosion and cavitation. These consisted of enamelled steel bodies in which a metal oxide-coated titanium anode 1 dm in surface area was fitted. The enamel... 

A vitreous enamel coating is, as the name implies, a coating of a glassy substance which has been fused onto the basis metal to give a tightly adherent hard finish resistant to many abrasive and corrosive materials. The purpose of modern vitreous enamels is twofold, i.e. to confer corrosion protection to the metal substrate and at the same time to provide permanent colour, gloss and other aesthetic values. 

Corrosion protection-stoving enamels are produced upon pigmentation with zinc dust. These are utilized for the enameling of components which operate at high temperatures e.g. metal chimneys. 

Metal—low carbon steel, tin coated, and aluminium, i.e. tinplate—corrosion protection can be improved by use of external enamels and internal lacquers.

The use of coatings in conjunction with CP is the most popular form of corrosion protection of pipelines. Some of the coatings used are fusion-bonded epoxy, extruded polyethylene, coal tar enamel, liquid epoxy, tape, polyurethane, mastic, and wax. Pipelines with each of these coatings remain in service at the present. The most widely used coating on pipelines is fusion-bonded epoxy. New multilayered coatings are now on the market.

Low-melting-point vitreous enamels for aluminium utilise as much as 30-40% P2O5 in their formulations [67]. The formation of protective films on metal surfaces (Section 12.7) in some cases involves the formation, in part, of glassy phosphate phases. These can be for corrosion protection or electrical insulation [68]. 

Coating of cast-iron sewer components is not necessary for reasons of corrosion protection. A surface treatment, e.g. for optical reasons, is optional for the manufacturer. This statement is now included in a number of standards for cast articles used in sewer systems. Surface treatment is carried out exclusively for cosmetic reasons in the past, these have been thin coatings. Some castings are also epoxidised or enamelled. 

The need for corrosion protection was also antidpated. Frasch proposed to introduce an alkaline liquid (preferably milk of Ume) to neutralize any unspent acid returned to the wellbore following treatment. The advantage of neutralization, he said, is to avoid the danger of corroding the subsequently used apparatus. Frasch proposed to use pipe that was enameled or lead lined or to otherwise make proof against corrosion. Finally, Frasch pointed out the need for a rubber packer to isolate the zone and force the acid into the formation to be treated. ... 

In the application of magnesium anodes for enamelled boilers, the consumption rate of the anodes is determined less by current supply than by self-corrosion. The calculation of life from data on protection current requirement, /, and anode mass, m, is difficult because the a value is so low. 

Hydrogen is involved in cathodic protection with magnesium anodes on account of the high contribution of self-corrosion. This must be considered in its use in closed containers, e.g., boilers. In enamelled boilers there is no danger from deflagration of the oxy-hydrogen gas under normal service conditions [2] however safety requirements must be observed [28,29], particularly with routine maintenance work.
