THE PROTECTION OF METAL SURFACES
Every metal surface, with relatively few exceptions, is a front line on which a ceaseless struggle takes place. Nature forever labours to return the metal to her storehouse in the form of oxide while Architects, Building Owners, and Engineers struggle to keep their work and property intact. THE HIGH COST OF CORROSION In the age of steel, corrosion has assumed a new importance. Damage and replacement in the U.S.A. alone has been estimated at U.S. $70 billion per annum. For Britain it was estimated that, over a span of 20 years, almost as much iron and steel was destroyed, as the annual output of steel. PROTECTION STARTS WITH DESIGN Successful protection from corrosion starts with the design of the steel structure itself, so that steel will, where possible, be protected from moisture and air; that types of joints and sections which are rust prone will be replaced by others less susceptible, e.g. welded joints and tubular members, that steel surfaces, if exposed to the atmosphere will be so designed that maintenance of the protective coating can be effectively carried out on all surfaces. It pre-supposes also that full use is made of modern methods of pre-treatment and of modern paint systems and protective coatings in the specification, with particular regard to special hazards such as sea, air, industrial atmospheres, high humidity, acid or alkaline fumes. Similar considerations, apply to aluminium and its alloys, which have taken an greater importance in modern construction, replacing both steel and other non-ferrous metals over a wide range of uses. In some circumstances, and in certain atmospheres, these alloys may even be more vulnerable to corrosion than iron or steel. Surface finishes in the form of specially formulated coatings usually offer an effective and economical answer to special hazards of almost every kind in structural work. Leading paint manufacturers are already fully conversant with the problems from experience gained in the field of industrial coatings which frequently have to be able to withstand heat, detergents, acids, etc., which would quickly destroy normal paint films. Bergers experience in these fields is worldwide. Maintenance Engineers and Architects are invited to refer directly to the Berger Technical Service Department whenever any special problem of corrosion of any kind arises. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN METALS CORRODE Corrosion has proved to be an electrochemical process, and within the metal structure of iron and steel, anodes (positive electrodes) and cathodes (negative electrodes) are present. Moisture on the surface form atmospheric deposits of rain or dew, acts as an electrolyte to complete the circuit and convey currents. These differences in potential may be caused by non-uniformity of the metal, impurities, stresses within the metal, temperature, or by differential aeration, i.e. differences in oxygen concentration in the electrolyte on the surface or by direct contact of two metals of inherently different electrochemical potential.

THE PROTECTION OF METAL SURFACES CONTD
At the anode areas, iron atoms shed electrons and pass into solution as ferrous ions. At the cathode areas other reactions take place using up the electrons. The electrons are able to flow through the metal continuously from anode to cathode as a corrosion current, but only if the return circuit is permitted by the surface film of moisture and oxygen. Prolonged action of a corrosion cell leads to pits at the anode and rust deposits at the cathode. If corrosion cells can be prevented from forming, rusting will not occur. This can be done by making all the steel surface a cathode relative to another metal (such as zinc) which will corrode instead. Another approach is to prevent the flow of corrosion current in the cells. This can be done by inhibitive pigments and by paint films offering a high resistance. PRINCIPLES OF PROTECTION In theory, protection could simply take the form of applying a barrier coating which would seal the metal surface from the air. In practice, however, no surface coating is completely impermeable and every metal surface has been subjected to some degree of oxidation before coating can take place. Effective protection, therefore, must be preceded by surface preparation which will remove and inhibit oxidation and, in so doing, provide a firm bond between the finishing coats and the metal substrate. Ideally, such a bond should be molecular as well as mechanical. Some methods of corrosion prevention are:1. 2. Modifying the corrosion environment, e.g. changing the humidity in enclosed areas, by improving air circulation. Modification of design to prevent the lodgement of moisture and grime, or avoiding direct contact of dissimilar metals (galvanic corrosion) or avoiding sharp edges and narrow gaps that cannot be easily coated. Changing the composition of the steel by using alloy steels where possible. Cathodic Protection, a system in which the steel is made the protected part of a suitable electric circuit so as to divert corrosion from it to a sacrificial anode. Surface costings are now used to protect the metal against the corrosive environment and to interrupt the current flow by providing a barrier against the electrolyte or by changing the potential. This is usually a paint system in which the priming coat is most important. It could be either an anodic type or an inhibitive type, its purpose being to bond tightly to the metal and to prevent development of corrosion, should the metal be exposed by damage or failure of the finishing coats. The finishing coats of the system are designed to protect the priming coat from the particular corrosive environment and the complete system should not be less than 6 mils thick. The protective life of a paint system is closely related to its film thickness.

PREPARATION OF IRON AND STEEL Protection of iron and steel starts, in every case, with pre-treatment, which prepares the metal surface for the protective paint system which must follow. The life of the paint system is largely dependent on the thoroughness with which the preparation is done. The purpose of pre-treatment of iron and steel is to remove completely all mill scale, rust, grease, dirt etc. to clean metal. To this clean, inert, dry and rust-free surface, the priming coat must be applied before any trace of rust has started to re-form. The ideal is for pre-treatment and priming to be carried out in the mill or shop before the steel is delivered to the construction side. On site, cleaning is carried out by mechanical tools, or by hand cleaning proceeded by degreasing, abrasive blast cleaning and flame descaling. The various methods of pre-treatment and preparations are described in detail in the United States Structural Steel Painting Council Manual and the British Standard Code of Practice, CP 2008.1966, Protection of Iron and Steel Structures from Corrosion. A brief introduction to the various methods employed follows. ACID DESCALING OR PICKLING Steel is immersed in a bath of hot acid which quickly acts on the loose rust before dissolving the mill scale. It generally contains inhibitors to stop attack on the metal base. It is a rapid method which has the advantage of reaching all parts of the metal. A final rinse of a weak phosphoric acid is sometimes used to form a protective layer of iron phosphate. Iron and steel treated in this way have a dull grey surface which is microscopically etched or roughened by the acid which gives an ideal surface for adhesion. Pickling or acid descaling is, of course, only practical in the case of components which may be conveniently immersed in pickling bath. Larger surfaces maybe conveniently treated with phosphating solutions such as Berger Rust Remover, but these cold applications do not give results comparable to those from pickle baths. BLAST CLEANING This method consists of cutting or abrading the surface with the high velocity impact of abrasive particles, removing mill scale, old paint, and other foreign matter from the metal. The abrasive matter may be siliceous, such as sands, or ground rock, metallic such as steel shot, cut steel wire, copper slag. Non-Metallic i.e. silica free using silicon carbide, aluminium oxide, etc. Course grit will produce deep pits and high points which should be avoided, as these could protrude through coating. Ideally, the particle size of the abrasive should be chosen to produce an anchor pattern or surface profile or approximately 1/3rd the total dry film thickness of the coating system.
BERGER
There are three recognized grades of Blast Cleaning. White Blast (SSPC-SP-5) which cleans everything off and leaves a uniform grey surface. Commercial Blast (SSPC-SP-6) which permits traces of mill scale to remain on the surface. Commercial Blast is not considered adequate for conditions of immersion or when being overcoated with Inorganic zinc type materials and other sophisticated coatings. Brush off Blast (SSPC-SP-7) only removes loose scale, rust, etc. leaving the surface reasonably clean, but it is not recognized as suitable for long life paint systems. WET BLAST CLEANING In this process water is mixed with abrasive to avoid the blowing of dust into the surrounding atmosphere. The mixture should contain a rust inhibitor, such as Potassium Dichromate and Tri-Sodium Phosphate which ensures that the surface will remain free from rust for 2 or 3 hours, as an alternate and while the surface is still wet, it should be treated with Berger Rust Remover. FLAME CLEANING In this method the iron and steel is swept or scrubbed with high temperature oxy-acetylene flames. The sudden heating has two main effects. First, it causes the mill scale to loosen and flake off as a result of the difference in expansion between the scale and the basic metal; secondly, it dehydrates any rust that may be present. Immediately after the passage of the flame, any loose scale and rust that remain are removed by wire-brushing and the surface dusted down, leaving the surface ideal to paint. The priming cost should then be applied as soon as possible after descaling and brushing down, and while the metals is still warm which will be between 120 and 150F., i.e. before atmosperic moisture can be deposited or absorbed. POWER TOOLS There is a large range of mechanical tools used for cleaning metal. These consist of rotary brushes of many shapes, abrasive discs and wheels, pneumatic chisels, scrapers and descalers, and derusting pistols or needle guns. Though widely used, these are less effective than the methods described above. HAND TOOLS These are the least effective, but the most commonly used. These tools cover wire brushes, chisels, scrapers and abrasive cloths, etc. The efficiency of this method, like that of power tools, is dependent on the operator. PRIMERS FOR IRON AND STEEL The priming coat of any painting system is most important and must have three qualities; the vehicle should be as impermeable as possible to prevent ingress of moisture, the pigment should have qualities which inhibit rust and it must also cover solidly and evenly, since it has been found that the resistance of a priming coat to the passage of moisture is directly proportional to its film thickness.
BERGER
Primers which have too much flow leave the high spots of the metal with relatively thin coats, while primers with too little flow retain brush-marks and give poor protection in the valley. There are two main types of Metal Primers, Anodic and Inhibitive. The former are metallic and become sacrificial to iron, the latter containing inhibitive pigments such as chromates which prevent corrosion creep by release of chromic salts rendering the metal passive. Of the Anodic Primers Berger Inorganic Zinc Rich Primer and Berger Epoxy Polyamide Zinc Rich Primer, contains nearly 100% metallic zinc in the dry film. The metal particles are in direct contact with each other and the iron or steel, thus creating a circuit for current to flow. The sacrificial protection may be expected to last as long as the zinc particles are in contact with the metal substrate. The inhibitive types can be lead containing or lead free and generally contain chromates of lead or zinc. These chromate pigments produce a passive condition to the iron by the formation of soluble chromate iron and the formation of soaps which inhibit the corrosion of the metal. PROTECTIVE TOP COATINGS The Maintenance finish coats are used for three purposes 1. To protect 2. To decorate 3. To identify PROTECTION The type of a coating selected depends on the environment aginst which the surface is to be protected. This includes the numerous types of atmospheric pollution, special conditions such as continuous acid or alkali environments in chemical plants, heat or cold, intermittent moisture conditions, mould infection, etc. DECORATION Decorative effect is produced by colour, texture and degree of gloss. By a careful choice of colour, light may be conserved, reflected, or diffused to produce better illumination. Colour is being used increasingly to reduce fatigue and improve morale in industrial environments. IDENTIFICATION Paints are used to identify installations such as pipelines (so that pipelines containing hazardous liquids may be readily picked out) marking valves, electrical gear and safety lines on floors. There are colour standards prepared by the British and American Standard Associations, which are included in the Pipe line Identification and Safety Colours section. SELECTION OF COATINGS Reference of Typical Painting Specifications indicates the suitability of some Berger Coatings for specific environments. The Berger Technical Service Department will readily assist in any specific problems of surface coatings in industry.

COLOUR AND INDUSTRY
There is a close link between employee welfare and industrial maintenance which is not always appreciated. This link is colour, for although its use does not add to the cost of any maintenance painting programme or affect the degree of protection obtained, its correct use will bring considerable benefits through improvement in employee morale. Psychological research and study in recent years has established indisputable evidence that human beings are subconsciously influenced by color. It has also been established that eye comfort is definitely related to colour and has great effect on workers morale. This is especially true of workers who must use the eyes for close work over prolonged periods of time. Eye fatigue quickly leads to physical fatigue which, in turn, reflects itself in production efficiency, employees mental attitudes, and spirit of co-operation. The correct use of colour contributes in a very real way to: Safety Identification Reflective Control and Decoration
CRITICAL OR FOCAL COLOURS Critical are those which might constitute danger points, or which need to be instantly visible in the event of an emergency. These are painted in FOCAL colours. That is, colours which command attention or appear to Push themselves forward from their background. FOCAL colours, generally speaking, come within the warm range, i.e. Reds, yellows, Oranges. NON-CRITICAL COLOURS Non-critical areas are those which should be kept in the background. They are, therefore, frequently painted in the less obtrusive COOL or STATIC colours; quite unexciting tones such as the paler shades of Grey, Green or Blue; they also provide suitable contrasts to the essential FOCAL or WARM colour. Obviously, success will be dependent upon the colours employed being automatically and subconsciously identified by operators and others as having special significance or character. This is particularly important, with focal colours which should be retained to identify critical parts of machinery danger spots. REFLECTIVE CONTROL Fatigue promoted by eyestrain is a more frequent cause of accidents than carelessness. The most common cause of eyestrain is bad light control. High light reflective colours should always be used in those buildings lacking in natural lighting. This will also reduce lighting costs for these areas. Any building or industry subjected to glare should be treated in the opposite manner; restful blues and greens will assist in reducing eyestrain.

COLOUR AND INDUSTRY CONTD
Colours used on walls and ceilings should be chosen for their functional properties. The higher the ceilings and structural supports, the greater the need for high reflectance or degree of whiteness. White on the ceiling levels out islands of glare and shadows and directs light downward where, at the task position, it can be supplemented if necessary. Off white or pastel tints can be used on low ceilings and structural members that are within the visual range. In many instances, the high reflectance of white is not needed and can be replaced with off white tints that will provide a high degree of reflectance and will give the illusion of distance at the same time. Side walls contribute very little to the total of reflected light but the colours selected are important because, by creating the illusion of distance or expanse, eye adjustments are minimised. Proper side wall colours will also blend in with incoming light, lessening window glare and sharp contrasts. DECORATION The correct use of colour in any factory or office will increase production, reduce spoilage, improve morale, reduce fatigue and certainly provide better labour relations. Gloomy Surroundings do not inspire efficiency. A well chosen colour scheme inspires cheerfulness, encourages cleanliness and develops pride. Non-absorbent paint surfaces that do not readily hold soot and dirt, and that are fume resistant, retain their functional properties longest, thus achieving worthwhile economies.

SURFACE PREPARATION: It is most important that the surface to be primed and filled, be correctly prepared. (a) New metal parts which are preserved with lanoin based greases or bituminous type protective coatings must be thoroughly cleaned and all traces of the protective coatings removed. Any such protective coating should not be rubbed into the metal by combining degreasing operations with scofing of metal. A final degreasing with a liquid detergent solution is also recommended. It is essentila that new metal parts be treated all over with Berger Autospeed Rust Remover 301.2595. not merely to remove rust, but to condition the whole metal surface and provide maximum key for the primer to folow. Metal work exposed in repair operations should be treated as for new metal parts, i.e. cleaned and degreased, and be treated with Berger Metal Pre-treatment and autospeed Rust Remover 301.2595.
