Performance Benchmarking of Coating Systems Evaluated in Cyclic Corrosion Tests

Abstract

The trend in the coatings industry today is away from composition specifications and toward performance specifications. Standardized levels of coating performance could be promulgated as industry-wide reference points through the establishment of benchmarks. The objective of this research was to establish as benchmarks a number of well-known coating systems whose performance is widely accepted by users throughout the industry. Nine widely accepted coating systems were selected as benchmarks, and performance levels of these coatings were tested using the scribe undercutting methodology described in ASTM D 5894. Damage to the test specimens was assessed using two alternative methods, and each method was evaluated for reliability and reproducibility.
