Inorganic Zinc Coatings Technical Publication – 2nd Edition
The ACA is pleased to announce the publication and release of the 2nd Edition of the Inorganic Zinc Coatings technical publication.
The technical papers in this publication come from two sources. The first eight papers were presented at the Coatings seminars conducted by The Australasian Corrosion Association in 1997 and 1998 in Australia and New Zealand. The second group of papers are from local authors and published or presented at various conferences between 1959 and 2012. The first paper is a copy of Nightingall’s original Australian patent. While the papers concentrate on inorganic zinc silicate (IZS) coatings, some branch into related subjects such as galvanizing and epoxy zincs and issues such as performance of top coats over zinc coatings.
A number of papers have been expanded or edited for this publication, and most of the historical papers have been reformatted, although an attempt has been made to keep the format as close to original as possible. For this edition, multi-column papers (other than the original patent) have been formatted to single column for ease of reading in electronic format.
Corrosion Technology Technical Publication Series
The Australasian Corrosion Association has developed the Corrosion Technology technical publication series to provide an understanding of how and why corrosion happens, how it manifests itself and how the relevant methods of corrosion prevention and control operate.
This series describes corrosion and its mitigation in general terms, applicable to a wide range of industries. The publication series is suitable for many working in a corrosion-related field and is an integral part of the certification scheme developed by the Association.
The information in this publication series is largely taken from the student notes to ACA’s Corrosion Technology Certificate Course.
This publication series is a free resource for all members of the ACA.
