Monitoring of the AC-DC-AC Degradation of Organic Coatings Using Embedded Electrodes

Abstract The application of embedded sensors is presently being developed to serve as a reliable corrosion sensing technique used for structures protected by organic coatings. Results are presented...

In Situ Embedded Sensor Monitoring of a United States Air Force Primer Beneath a Topcoat Exposed to Atmospheric Humidity and Thermal Conditions

Abstract Two-layered United States Air Force organic coatings are designed with the topcoat functioning as a barrier against the environment and the primer providing adhesion between the topcoat an...

Electrochemical Noise Monitoring of the Cathodic Protection of Mg-Rich Primers

Abstract Mg-rich primers provide cathodic protection of aluminum substrates similar to that provided by Zn-rich primers for steel substrates. This protection is due to the mixed potential that deve...

In Situ Monitoring of Organic Coatings Under QUV/Prohesion Exposure by Embedded Sensors

Abstract Organic coatings represent the most widely used means of mitigating the corrosion of metallic structures. A coatings primary role is as a physical barrier, reducing the transport of water...
