ACA 2011 Training Calendar Greetings, members There has been a wonderful response to the communications of our CEO Ian Booth from individual and corporate members of the ACA regarding the floods across Australia and the impact they have had on our colleagues. As I write the flood waters across Victoria are still encroaching upon communities as the one in two hundred year events take place. Members across the country have all been affected by the huge floods and it will be a great struggle for all our political leaders to come up with the right balance of support that will enable our ravaged communities to rebuild their lives and businesses. Graphic images of the torrents of water sweeping through homes and taking with them the cherished memories, the hopes and dreams of thousands of people are brought to us by the print and all forms of electronic media. However, for those concerned with the vital infrastructure of the community, all our members in the electricity, water, gas and transport industries will have their own operational challenges as power supplies are flooded and the cathodic protection circuits drop out. The wholesale changes will last a very long time but out of this adversity

better corrosion mitigation and management plans will emerge. In a recent executive hook up we renewed the commitment of the ACA to be there to provide any enquiries with the unbiased technical expertise that will be needed to help find the answers to many of the problems of collapsing buildings, roads and homes. In the not too distant past, many corrosion scientists did not really believe in the role of microorganisms in the decay of metals but anybody listening to the plenary paper by Brenda Little from the Naval Research Laboratory at the Adelaide Conference could not fail to be totally won over by her presentation. She expertly and deftly steered us through the blind alleys and confusing maze of alternative explanations and proved how one can be readily deceived by the presence of bacteria that are not actively involved in the corrosion process. In order to help members share this understanding there is going to be a symposium on Microbially Induced Corrosion in August. Members should consult the overall training calendar to organise the times when you can make yourself available for professional development opportunities that are being developed for and presented for you by the ACA in 2011.

include visits to two classic scenes of heroic episodes from the time of the Civil War. The stabilised remains of the submarine H L Hunley are on public view in Charleston at the weekends when the conservators take a break from treating this 1864 hand propelled vessel. The Hunley was the first submarine to successfully blow up an enemy vessel, the USS Housatonic. The submarine is shaped like a long cigar and is made of riveted wrought iron plates fashioned in a boiler workshop in Mobile, Tennessee. Remains recovered from the wreck of the USS Monitor (1862) are found at The Mariners Museum in Newport News in Virginia. The massive turret made of nine bolted one inch plate; the famous Eriksson engine and condenser are all testaments to superb ingenuity in the face of tough conditions of war time nations. The corrosion phenomena found on these historic iron vessels has direct relevance to the operational performance of structures located offshore. We can all learn from the past and use the information to plan for a better future. Ian MacLeod President

As we start 2011 it is already time to pause to consider our members and the wider community that have been dramatically affected by the spate of horrendous natural disasters which have beset many parts of Australia during January. The impacts on families, business, the economy and the landscape are unprecedented. ACA will do its best to be of assistance wherever it can. And now to ACA business. The joint ACA and ICC conference and congress scheduled for November in Perth will be the headline activity for the year. This event will require an enormous contribution by members, staff and international partners. The organising committee, with staff support are well advanced with their planning and all the right indicators promise that this year’s conference will be an outstanding success. The review of ACA’s cathodic protection education program has commenced. Stage 2 will be well underway by the time this edition of Corrosion & Materials goes to press. ACA Training Manager Barry Hodder is managing this project with the support of the senior lecturers who present the programs on behalf of ACA. In addition to the internal review being conducted, recommendations

for change will be validated through industry consultation. The full education and training program for the year is in place. Whilst there will no doubt be modifications to the schedule during the year, with 60 plus events planned we certainly have our hands full managing the significant contribution the association makes to education in the industries in which members are engaged. May and June will see the ACA’s highly successful technical roadshow conducted throughout Australasia. We will again be extending the number of regional locations at which the roadshow will be presented. The technical groups continue to develop and a number of events are being finalised for the year. A MIC symposium will be held in August at which international and Australasian experts will present papers. The symposium will also feature open forums aimed at maximising the transfer of technology through consideration of practical application of the theory and research under discussion. The Australian Electrolysis Committee (Cathodic Protection technical group) will meet in Launceston in June. The Mining Industry technical group will

conduct seminars in Kalgoorlie in July and Mackay in August. Plans are developing for a seminar in April on welding and joining in the water industry with a focus on stainless steel. A number of other technical events are under consideration by the technical groups and details will be distributed shortly. Our relationships with partnering organisations and others with which the ACA is involved will continue to be reviewed during 2011. Changes are likely for the PCCP and APAS schemes. Our involvement with the standards development processes will continue to increase. Training programs will be enhanced. The ACA’s board will meet in February in Melbourne and no doubt there will be even more positive activity generated. ACA will continue to develop its presence and increase its relevance in the industries in which our members are represented.

2011 ACA Events Calendar 2011 promises to be an active year for the ACA with the listed events below confirmed and with further events currently being finalised. ACA members will receive further information on each event as appropriate throughout the

year, but for now you may wish to include these details in your diary now. A finalised 2011 events calendar will be published by the ACA once available which will also include local Branch activities.

Figure 1: Caustic Soda Service Chart2

The exact upper temperature limit for the curves (related to 50 ppm and to 5%, Figure 2) that runs parallel to the temperature axis should not be specified unless research work has been performed to verify such a limit and probable slope. From a practical point of view, it should be below the creep temperature limit for carbon steel (800°F or 427°C), [7-9].

°F

Earlier [3,4] and in the NACE RP0403 [2] write-up mention is made of the fact that carbon steel could be used in Area C if the concentration of the caustic soda is below 5 wt%. However, clearly the Chart (Figure 1) does not reflect this. Furthermore from the literature it is clear that if carbon steel is used in this region of Area C it must be in the stress relived condition, as is required in Area B. It is therefore proposed that the upper curve that separates Area B & Area C, be modified to end at 5 wt% and to continue upwards to 300°F (149°C) [3,4], parallel to the temperature axis (Figure 2), rather than the way it is at present (Figure 1). Furthermore, the Chart

It has become very clear over the years, after numerous discussions with industry, that the well known chart for carbon steel in caustic service (Figure 1, [1,2] ), causes some confusion during material selection and application at lower caustic concentrations (< 5 wt%). Furthermore, it appears that most plant personnel don’t find the time to always read the details in the write-up and that they simply refer to the chart, as if it is a stand-alone document. Moreover, plant personnel don’t often consult corrosion experts for interpretation and as such the ease of interpretation of the chart and clarity of this chart becomes crucial. As a result the chart is mostly interpreted at face-value. It is proposed therefore that this chart requires some further clarification / modifications, particularly:

There are times when a concentration mechanism is at work and when a bulk solution below 5 wt% can lead to SCC; this is also pointed out in NACE RP0403 [2]. However, API Recommended Practice 571 [5] gives a more detailed coverage where it is stated

that only caustic solutions < 50 ppm are safe, when this concentration mechanism is expected. It is therefore recommended (Figure 2) to also include this in the existing Chart.

without PWHT can be used at much higher temperatures. Particularly, in the boiler feed water (with pH range 9.5 to 9.8) where there is a high temperature inhibitor present; carbon steel with/without PWHT normally operates at temperatures up to 446°F (230°C) above 30 years. Generally, allowable temperature for carbon steel is 750°F (399°C) [6]. For this reason it is also recommended to modify (as in Figure 2) the existing Chart as explained above.

Final Report on Review of New South Wales corrosion protection regulation released The NSW Government has released the report of the review of corrosion protection regulation and endorsed its recommendations. ACA along with a number of other significant industry stakeholders made a submission to the review team. According to the NSW Government the nine (9) recommendations will improve the currency of information on the register through new requirements for an annual return submitted by owners and by allowing offences to be more efficiently enforced using penalty notices instead of just prosecution. This will enhance the register’s role as a risk management tool for the benefit of business and the community. The review recommendations will be implemented by Industry and Investment NSW during 2011. Summary and recommendations: Corrosion Protection Systems (CPSs) are used to protect underground metal structures from corrosion. They operate by sending a low voltage direct current through ground or water to a structure. While this protects the CPS owner’s asset, it may corrode nearby underground metallic structures owned by others. To protect underground metallic structures in NSW, which are valued at over $18 billion, many of which deliver utility services, a regulatory framework for corrosion protection systems is in place. This requires owners to test their CPS, obtain the consent of affected asset owners and then provide their details to a public register administered by the Department of Industry and Investment (I&I NSW) before the CPS can be operated.

10 Corrosion & Materials

The current approach to CPS regulation has been in place in NSW since 2003. Stakeholders have since raised concerns about the accuracy of the register because of delays in retesting, and problems with the compliance and enforcement framework. Questions have also been raised about whether the existing approach is the most efficient way to address the risks posed by CPSs. In July 2010, the Better Regulation Office and Industry and Investment NSW released an Issues Paper seeking feedback on the current regulatory scheme. The paper identified a number of options for a future regulatory and administrative framework. Consultation with stakeholders has informed the review recommendations contained in this report. The review finds that a public CPS register is an effective way of addressing risks to metallic structures by providing information to third parties about the location of CPSs so that they are aware of the location of any CPS near their own infrastructure and are able to work with the system owners to minimise any risks from nearby CPSs. The register needs to be mandated by the NSW Government to ensure that all system owners are required to provide the information about their systems to a central public register. The review also found that a NSW Government administered register is probably the most efficient means of running the register. In order to ensure the information in the register is kept up to date, CPS owners will be required to provide an annual return to I&I NSW updating the status of all their systems. This is consistent with the

NSW Government’s performance management approach to regulation of the electricity and gas network businesses. The review also recommends that as CPS owners will be providing an annual return on the status of their systems, some of the regulatory burden associated with the existing scheme can be reduced by no longer requiring CPSs to be re-registered. Improvements can also be made by removing any ambiguity with regard to the responsibilities of CPS owners to prevent damage to other metallic structures and their obligations to comply with regulatory requirements. Additional industry-based funding should increase resources provided by I&I NSW to enforce the legislation. Giving I&I NSW the power to issue penalty notices for offences relating to the register should also improve the efficiency of enforcement.

2008 that no liability accrues to the NSW Government as a result of administering the CPS register. Recommendation 3 The regulatory regime should be operated on a cost recovery basis. An appropriate regime which covers I&I NSW’s costs in managing the regulatory regime will be developed with Treasury. Recommendation 4 In order to facilitate compliance with the Regulation, each system owner shall submit an annual return to I&I NSW about the CPSs currently operated by the owner as at 30 June to confirm matters recorded on the register. In line with the performance regulation approach adopted for electricity and gas in NSW, this annual return shall be submitted by the CEO of the system owner. The report must also include a corrective action and timeline for addressing any noncompliance identified in the return.

Recommendation 1 A public register detailing all operating corrosion protection systems should be maintained. Systems that are currently exempt from registration (under clause 4 of the Electricity Supply (Corrosion Protection) Regulation 2008) will continue to be so. This register will record details such as the system number, system owner, contact person, location, and approved operating conditions (including retesting period). Only one owner shall be registered for each system.

Recommendation 5 CPSs should only be required to be registered once. Retesting periods will vary according to risk levels and be specified as a condition of registration when the CPS is presented for registration, as is currently the case. It is an offence to operate a CPS that has not been registered or has not been retested in accordance with the legislation. Recommendation 6 It should be clarified that CPS owners are responsible for CPSs maintenance and testing, and compliance with all registration and notification requirements under the Regulation, including submitting an accurate annual return. Failure to do so is a breach of the legislation and can lead to I&I NSW cancelling registration and/or imposing penalties. Recommendation 7 I&I NSW should inform CPS owners and testers about their obligations under the Regulation and ensure

that there is effective communication between I&I NSW and the industry, including advance notification of CPSs due for retesting. Recommendation 8 I&I NSW should be given the power to issue penalty notices for offences under the Regulation. Recommendation 9 I&I NSW shall conduct periodic reviews of the register to identify any non-compliance. Any noncompliance identified shall be brought to the attention of the CEO of the CPS owner. The owner will be requested to submit an explanation within 30 days as to why enforcement action should not be taken and also a corrective action report.

Future of PCCP scheme needs to be clarified Towards the end of 2010, ACA received advice from the management of the Painting Contractors Certification Program (PCCP) that there was a strong possibility that there would be changes in the “ownership” of the scheme. Currently, the scheme is administered by CSIRO along with a number of other certification programs including APAS. In order to ensure that ACA members are not disadvantaged by

any changes, ACA has entered into discussions with senior management at CSIRO to ensure that the scheme remains relevant and increases the benefits the scheme provides, particularly to certified contractors. ACA is examining whether it should auspice an industry managed company to administer PCCP or a similar scheme at some future time. The association’s position will be determined by the final announced intentions of CSIRO as

far as divestment goes and whether there is benefit for ACA members and industry support for ACA to take the lead in establishing a new entity to run PCCP or a similar body. As more information comes to hand, members, particularly contractor members who are participants in the scheme will be contacted. Further information is available from Ian Booth at ACA on 03 9890 4833 or by email to ibooth@corrosion.com.au

REVIEW Corrosion & Prevention 2010 Review The picturesque banks of the Torrens River and surrounding parklands were the backdrop for the 2010 Corrosion & Prevention Conference held at the Adelaide Convention Centre from the 14th-17th November 2010. Themed ‘Always Protecting, Always Learning: Celebrating the 50th Annual ACA Conference & 50 Years of the SA Branch 1960-2010’, the conference provided a vibrant forum for the corrosion industry to gather and discuss the key issues currently facing the industry. The 400 plus delegates also attended the conference to network, come face to face with the industry products and service providers on display, professional development and to access an international array of speakers. Known as one of Australia’s top food and wine regions, it was only fitting that the first introduction to the 2010 Conference was held at the National Wine Centre of Australia. Sponsored by Incospec & Associates Australia, the Welcome Function was held on a fine Adelaide evening with delegates enjoying what Adelaide has to offer in food and wine whilst catching up with new and old friends to the sounds of an acoustic guitar duo. Official conference formalities began early Monday morning with an opening address from Roman Dankiw, the 2010 President. Roman then introduced Paul James, the General Manager of Hempel who were the conference Golden Jubilee sponsors. The tradition of the Ed Potter Clock to officially start the conference was connected by Reg Casling, a South Australian life member of the ACA. The Monday morning plenary session began with George Thompson, Deputy Head of the School of Materials and Director of Research at The University of Manchester

20 Corrosion & Materials

to give his presentation on ‘Environmentally Friendly Anodizing of Aluminium Alloys’. Soeren Nyborg Rasmussem of Hempel currently based in China followed to present on ‘Advancements in High Performance Zinc Epoxy Coatings’. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea each day were served in the exhibition hall which provided delegates the opportunity to network around the 60 stands showcasing products and services from a range of providers in the industry from paint suppliers, paint applicators, cathodic protection equipment, height safety services, dehumidification equipment, construction supplies, NDT equipment and more. Monday afternoon plenary session began with two more plenary lectures beginning with Valerie Linton of The Energy Pipeline Cooperative Research Centre who gave her keynote presentation on ‘Corrosion Related Research within the Energy Pipelines Cooperative Research Centre’. Valerie was followed by Neil Campbell of ExxonMobil Production Company who presented ‘A Global Approach to Coating Integrity’. After sessions broke on Monday afternoon the Official Exhibition Opening was held in the Exhibition Halls with drinks and finger food.

TECHNICAL REVIEW Technical Review As always, the technical programme of the Adelaide Conference delivered a diverse cross section of technical content from all streams of the corrosion industry and from all corners of the globe. The theme was ‘Always Protecting, Always Learning’ and the technical programme fitted well with this theme. There was a good combination of keynote speakers, case studies, industry papers and research papers. Over 50% of survey respondents indicated that the technical content, professional development and the keynote speakers were pivotal in attracting them to the conference. The keynote speakers provided an excellent entree to the technical sessions through each day. George Thompson from the University of Manchester gave a thorough overview of his research activities in the area of surface treatment of aluminium and understanding its oxide film formation. A significant aspect of the work has been developing techniques for the characterisation and evaluation of the oxide film. This understanding has lead to a reduction of the environmental impact of anodising aluminium. Soeren Nyborg Rasmussen from Hempel reported recent developments in zinc epoxy coatings. Inspired by observations in the battery industry, experimentation with zinc alloys containing a small percentage of bismuth showed that coatings manufactured with this alloy exhibited higher performance; in particular, lower rust creep. Valerie Linton presented the current research activities of the Energy Pipelines Collaborative Research Centre (CRC). Collaborative work is ongoing with University of Wollongong, University of Adelaide and Monash University in support of

welding activities, stress corrosion cracking and alternative materials in the Oil & Gas industry. Neil Campbell from ExxonMobil provided perspectives on asset management for a large company with many sites, contrasting a centralised management structure with a devolved management structure. Of particular interest were the methods of communication used by engineers with operators and tradespeople. The language used and the volume of work instructions can significantly impact on the effectiveness of the message being communicated. Dennis Richards presented the 2010 PF Thompson lecture. He gave an educated review of the long term performance of various coatings based on his experience with the Department of Transport over the last 40 years. Dennis gave an entertaining look at the Good, Bad and Ugly of Heavy Duty Coatings whilst also examining some myths associated with surface preparation and coating performance. Some of Dennis’s observations are sure to cause some controversy despite the case study evidence that was presented. Brenda Little from the US Naval Research Laboratories gave an overview of the mechanisms associated with microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). She highlighted the interaction of some of the mechanisms and the possibility that MIC is influenced by a complex combination of biological, chemical, physical and environmental factors. This was highlighted by a case from Duluth Superior Harbor. For many this was the highlight of the conference. Rolf Gubner from Curtin University of Technology spoke about the highly relevant issue of corrosion management and the development of

integrated systems which can provide improved reliability and asset life. Such systems can result in significant cost savings over the life of assets. Mads Juhl from Hempel presented highlights of developments with the use of fibres in liquid coatings. While research is ongoing, improvements in crack resistance, impact resistance, tensile strength and flexibility have been achieved. The coatings and cathodic protection streams were strongly supported; as was the MIC session indicating a growing interest in this phenomenon within Australasia. The Defence stream was strongly supported by the Australian, New Zealand and United States military. The forum provides an opportunity to discuss common issues and has improved the formal and informal networks between the various organisations involved. The desalination industry is expanding in Australia and Frederic Blin and Sarah Furman gave an excellent review of durability issues for Australian desalination plants. Significant guidance was provided for concrete parameters and materials selection of stainless steels and polymers. Mathieu Robert from Sherbrooke University presented two papers on the use and performance of glass fibre reinforced bars for concrete reinforcement. This generated significant interest and identified areas where Australasia could learn from the Canadian experience. There was discussion of the impact of weld heat tint on the corrosion of stainless steels through the Welding Forum and through a paper presented by Mike Dinon. This is an area that has required repeated attention due to ongoing occurrence in industry. Through these discussions and through previous papers by Les

Boulton there is now a wealth of knowledge in this area that can assist fabricators and asset owners. One of the highlights of the Water Forum and the Defence Forum was the presentation of the ‘Corrosion Challenges’ project report. This report highlights the impact of corrosion on these two sectors and promises to be a pivotal document in raising political and social awareness of corrosion issues. Erk Gamboa from the University of Adelaide presented recent work on understanding stress corrosion cracking (SCC) crack growth using x-ray microtomography. It was found that crack growth in a pipeline can proceed initially normal to the surface but change direction within 500 microns of the surface. The cracks can then interact with neighbouring cracks creating a complex crack pattern. Ongoing investigations are looking at the impact of these interactions on the crack growth rate.

AWARDS David Whitby Best Review Paper Award

The David Whitby Best Review Paper Award is awarded annually to the best review paper either published in Corrosion & Materials or in the Annual ACA Conference Proceedings.

ACA AWARDS AC Kennett Award

The AC Kennett Award is awarded each year to the best paper presented under the auspices of the Association that deals with non-metallic corrosion. Mr Robert Jeffrey for his paper presented at Corrosion & Prevention 2009 in Coffs Harbour ‘Set in Stone - or is it? A Case Study of Rock Corrosion’. SUMMARY: Stone is generally thought to be a relatively long term building material, take Stonehenge and the Pyramids for example. However when significant changes in stone building materials are noticed less than two months after exposure to the elements, serious questions have to be asked. The case presented herein involves sandstone tiles that were installed on a property close to an open saltwater bay. Six weeks after being cemented to a concrete slab, hairline cracks occurred at the grout-tile interfaces that eventually resulted in edges of the tile lifting by up to two millimetres. An investigation was carried out where new and used tiles were subjected to cyclic exposure of inundation and drying. Moisture uptake, horizontal and vertical displacement and the thermal expansion coefficient were determined. Analysis of new and used tiles, mortar and a fine slime extracted from new tiles was carried out. It was found that the tiles moved both horizontally following a series of wet/dry cycles. However the significant observation was the amount of calcite identified in the fines

washed out of the new tiles. Calcite is one of a number of “mineral glues” that holds the sand in sandstone together. It was deduced that the dissolution of the sandstone glue caused loss of strength of the stone. This dissolution coupled with natural diurnal moisture and temperature cycling and strong adhesion of the lower face caused the tiles to contract on the top face, crack at one edge and eventually to bow.

The Marshall Fordham Best Research Award is awarded annually to the best research paper either published in Corrosion & Materials or in the Annual ACA Conference Proceedings.

SUMMARY: Burning coal provides Australia with cheap power, but involves handling CO2 and water vapour at high temperature. CO2-containing gases are known to be corrosive, but information is lacking on the reactivity of CO2-H2O mixtures. The aim of this study is to investigate the corrosion behaviour of Fe-Cr alloys in these atmospheres. Pure iron and Fe-Cr alloys containing 2.25, 9 and 20 % Cr were reacted in Ar-20%CO2, Ar-20%CO2-5%H2O and Ar-20%CO2-20%H2O for 48 h at 800°C. The effects of chromium and water vapour levels were investigated using kinetic data and metallographic observations. The presence of H2O in the test gas has been found to have a significant influence on the corrosion behaviour of Fe and low Cr alloys, whereas that of Fe-20Cr alloys was hardly affected. It is shown that the presence of H2O causes an acceleration of the surface process by which a wustite scale grows, but does not significantly alter the diffusion process in wustite. Corrosion rates were found to

30 Corrosion & Materials

SUMMARY: There are plenty of Australasian Standards that address the needs of steel, but those for concrete are few and far between. Many specifiers try to adapt the standards for coating steel or floor coverings with varying degrees of success. The nature of concrete makes the successful application of protective coatings challenging. Concrete surfaces vary and may be inconsistent from one pour to the next. The variability in the components which concrete is made of compound this. The concrete surface is porous and can have different finishes and textures. The nature of the surface of a horizontal slab where, the surface can be worked to remove voids is markedly different to vertical walls, which rely on the formwork and compaction methods to reduce voids and bugholes. Some concrete may develop cracks of different types and significance to structural durability. Such cracks can test of the ability of some coatings to cope with covering them as well as movement of the substrate. This paper examines at concrete as a

substrate and review the available Australasian Standards and their application to the development of a coating specification; identifies overseas standards which can be adopted to assist in successful coating application; and considers where there are other factors that also need to be addressed to increase the chance of a successful coating project for concrete structures.

be drastically different for pure iron, low Cr alloys (2.25 and 9 % Cr) and Fe-20Cr. These differences are related to the formation and growth of a Cr-containing inner layer in the case of the low Cr alloys, and of chromia in the case of the 20Cr grade. It is proposed that surface selective adsorption of H2O accounts for modifications to the scale morphology observed in the case of the low Cr alloys.

The ACA Student Research Award is presented to full time post graduate students for fundamental or applied research in any branch of corrosion for the purpose of a higher degree in Science, Engineering or a related discipline. The award is judged upon significance of the work to the community, originality and soundness of the research as well as several other criteria. Mr Wayne Neil for his paper presented at Corrosion & Prevention 2010 in Adelaide ‘Corrosion of Mg Alloy ZE41 and its Mitigation Using Ionic Liquids’. SUMMARY: Magnesium alloy ZE41 (Mg-Zn-RE-Zr), which is used extensively in the aerospace industry, possesses excellent mechanical properties albeit poor corrosion resistance. This work investigates the mechanism of corrosion, and the interaction between the grain boundary intermetallic phases, the zirconium (Zr)‑rich regions within the grains and the bulk Mg rich matrix in both the as-cast and heat-treated conditions. The results of optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) show the importance of the microstructure in the initiation and propagation of corrosion in an aqueous environment. The Zr-rich regions play a distinct role in the early stages of corrosion with this alloy. The second part of this work investigates the interaction of two different ionic liquids (ILs) with the surface of the ZE41 alloy. ILs based on trihexyltetradecylphosphonium (P6,6,6,14) coupled with either diphenylphosphate (DPP) or bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) amide (Tf2N) have been shown to react with Mg alloy surfaces, leading to the formation of a surface film that can improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy. The interaction of the ILs with the ZE41 surface has been investigated by optical microscopy www.corrosion.com.au

and SEM. Surface characterization has been performed using Time of Flight-Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The surface characterization and microscopy revealed the preferential interaction with the grain boundaries and grain boundary phases. Thus the morphology and microstructure of the Mg surface seems critical in determining the nature of the interaction with the IL. The corrosion protection of the IL films formed on the ZE41 surface was investigated by SEM and potentiodynamic polarisation.

Dymocks building, Sydney – repairing and conserving a heritage listed façade suffering from corrosion 1. Introduction Conservation works to the façade of the heritage listed Dymocks Building located in George Street, Sydney were completed in the period between 2008 and 2010.

for each block would be similar. As such, whilst the observed defects were relatively obvious, the potential for hidden corrosion could not be adequately assessed without proper access.

The George Street facade is a terracotta faience façade, which consists of terracotta blocks moulded and formed to replicate carved stone. This technique was employed circa the 1920’s as a more economical method of achieving the look of a carved stone building. In the case of Dymocks, the terracotta had an applied glaze which was designed to replicate the appearance of grey granite.

The façade also consists of steel framed windows. The windows had fairly extensive surface corrosion, however corrosion was only severe at locations where there was bimetallic corrosion due to intimate contact with the moulded copper cladding. This generally occurred at the bottom corners of the windows, where water runoff and pooling contributed to the corrosion rate.

Terracotta faience blocks are hollow, formed by pressing clay into the moulds and firing in a kiln. The Dymocks Building before works

The terracotta blocks are fixed back to the steel structure with a range of angles, cleats, hooks, bolts and bars. Details of these fixings were not available, however literature produced by the National Terra Cotta Society in the United States, as well as published texts, papers and guides from both Europe and the USA provided an indication of the construction. 2. Observed deterioration Deterioration was noted dating back to the 1990’s. The terracotta cladding had cracked at various locations and threatened to detach from the façade. It was determined that the cracking was predominantly due to the corrosion of embedded structural steel elements and presented a developing risk to public safety.

Due to the large repetition present in the casting of the blocks, it was expected that the fixing methods

3. The approach The project team devised a two phased approach to the repair and conservation of the façade. The first phase was to undertake a “Deconstruction and Investigation” phase to properly determine the construction of the façade and to assess the potential extent of hidden corrosion. This was to ensure that not only the visible signs of deterioration were addressed, but also to gain some assurance that similar typical details would not give rise to problems shortly after repair and conservation works were completed.

The second phase would see the results of the first phase implemented in the “Facade Reconstruction and Conservation”. 4. Repair and protection methods and materials Replacement terracotta was sourced from Boston Valley Terra Cotta (BVTC) in upstate New York, near Buffalo. The two phased approach allowed one of each type of terracotta block to be sent to BVTC to allow them to replicate the pieces. New terracotta blocks were generally reinstalled using stainless steel fixings, although galvanised fixings were used where connection to the existing mild steel in the building was required. Any exposed mild steel was primed with a zinc rich primer prior to encapsulation with grout or mortar. Three of the large dentil pieces located beneath the level 10 cornice had cracked and removal of the damaged sections revealed corroding reinforcement. There was no effective NDT method to determine whether any of the remaining 70 or so large dentils were experiencing the same problem. An electromagnetic covermeter test was undertaken and it was determined that the location of steel within may mean that all large dentils may be at risk.

to the affected section of the steel hangers in the dentils, along with issues with electrical continuity and finally wiring meant that CP wasn’t a viable option. It was therefore decided to stabilise all of the large dentils by installing stainless steel helical ties to ‘stitch’ the large dentils together along potential fault or crack lines to limit the possibility of catastrophic failure due to corrosion of the steel fixings within. The steel windows were completely removed from the building and refurbished off site. The aim was to achieve a coating that would preserve the structure of the windows and limit the future maintenance to repainting of the windows, rather than the structural repairs to sections of the windows that were required this time. The system chosen was a hybrid of that detailed in Table 5.1 of AS2312-2002, being a duplex coating system; TSZ100 plus an epoxy and a semi-gloss polyurethane topcoat. The durability of this system with regular maintenance is expected to achieve a 25+ year life to first major maintenance in the Category C environment.

Cathodic Protection (CP) was considered early in the development of the repair strategy, however owing to the difficulty in achieving protection

The protective coating system was chosen to balance the functional use (abrasion resistance) of the windows and negate the need for stripe coats of epoxy primers, which would have added significant costs to the project. The zinc will also provide some galvanic protection to the

steel frames to minimise any future structural rectification of the frames. 5. Conclusion Corrosion and time related deterioration of certain elements of the façade of the Dymocks Building were remediated or stabilised using a range of different concrete repair techniques, stonemasonry techniques and protective coatings technologies. The techniques used were intended to extend the useful life of the façade and minimise future maintenance costs. The experiences from this project illustrate that the application of corrosion mitigation techniques can be used to protect and conserve significant heritage listed building facades.

To reduce the costs of scaffolding during the first phase, it was decided to scaffold only half of the building and concentrate on investigating the areas that were of most concern by carefully dismantling a number of sections of terracotta to confirm the cause of deterioration. By extrapolation, the quantity of works required on the second half of the building could be estimated.

George Street’s bridge for future generations As the population of metropolitan Melbourne marches toward 5 million people by 2020 a number of outer suburban areas are experiencing increased traffic flow, and government is struggling to provide the infrastructure needed to keep Victoria moving. One of the areas experiencing rapid growth is the suburb of Dandenong in Melbourne’s outer south-east. A mix of residential and light industrial areas provides housing and employment and acts as a hub for the burgeoning population in the new growth corridor. As part of a major redevelopment, Revitalising Central Dandenong, all three levels of government are investing in local infrastructure – separating road and rail interfaces, linking major freeways to bypass the Dandenong CBD and regenerating rail lines to better serve both the passenger and freight services that pass through the area. A major undertaking of the project has included the construction of the $29 million George Street

bridge over the railway lines near Dandenong train station for VicRoads. At 240 metres long and more than six metres tall, the 4000m2 concrete bridge was constructed by contractor Cut and Fill in the tight space between two major roads, the busy rail line, a bus depot and the Dandenong town centre. Once constructed, the challenge was on to meet the exacting government requirements to complete the protective surface work on the bridge to withstand all weather extremes, the grime from heavy vehicle usage and the carbon emissions from trains passing underneath it every day not to mention the damaging carbonation that occurs when concrete is exposed to water. The anti-graffiti and anticarbonation coatings to standard proscribed surface thickness as required by government engineering and infrastructure projects provided a further challenge. Two additional complications were the construction of the bridge in a grid pattern making the traditional roller/brush application techniques ineffective; and its location in a

busy precinct making overspray a major concern. A specialist coating company was required to complete the bridge, so Cut and Fill engaged Commercial Industrial Painting Services (CIPS). CIPS was chosen because it has Protective Coating Certification Program (PCCP) accreditation level 3 and 4, is a corporate member of the Australasian Corrosion Association, and also has fully qualified staff with both ‘rail track awareness’ and ‘elevated work platforms’ qualifications. Upon appointment, CIPS consulted suppliers to find the coating that would provide the best quality for the best price, and conform to VicRoads requirements. The coatings were required to: comply with proscribed thickness requirements be impermeable to chlorides, water, carbon dioxide and acid rain

allow the transmission of water vapour be UV resistant and non-yellowing have VicRoads grey coating pigments that are colourfast and not subject to fading or discolouration have guaranteed outdoor exposure of at least ten years be capable of withstanding cleaning with detergent and hot water of between 40 and 50 degrees celsius withstand at least eight cycles of graffiti removal be smooth, uniform and without imperfection on application

40 Corrosion & Materials

www.corrosion.com.au

Based on the consultation, the coatings chosen were the Dulux Durebild STE with 60 per cent solids to meet the necessary level of thickness and durability, and a Weathermax top coat to include the corrosion and graffiti protection. The products provided best value for money and had been used by CIPS successfully on the Wodonga bypass project. When application commenced, three staff were used to complete the job over a three month period. Considering the complications of the project, two painters would apply the coating using a spraying technique while a third person, the spotter, would monitor changing weather and wind patterns to avoid overspray which may cause damage

to nearby property. At times when wind direction changed or increased work would have to stop, and on rainy days work was halted altogether. The stop and start nature of the job was also hampered by the fact that once mixed in the pot, the coating lasts two hours before it begins to break down – so choosing the right days and times to work was a critical component to finishing the job to the highest aesthetic and practical levels and staying on-budget. The bridge was completed in August 2010 and will not need further work for a minimum of 15 years. It is free from runs and colour variations or gloss variations and from all angles it has a consistent surface shine.

University Profile University of Adelaide Profile School of Mechanical Engineering Introduction After a long history of engineering education at the University of Adelaide (UoA), dating back to 1878, the School of Mechanical Engineering was established separately in 1946. Steady growth in research and teaching activities since that time has led to an increase in the size of the School to 24 academic staff, more than 50 postgraduate students and more than 400 undergraduate students. The Mechanical Engineering program provides students with a broad education designed to give them the skills necessary to become professional mechanical engineers and includes corrosion as a course in the program. Corrosion Lecturer

Dr. Erwin Gamboa arrived at the UoA in late 2003 as a Research Fellow after having just completed his PhD in Corrosion from The University of Queensland. As a Research Fellow under Professor Valerie Linton, he developed the University’s corrosion research activities, especially in the area of Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC).

within the School of Mechanical Engineering as part of the Materials Group, where he currently teaches a course in Corrosion to undergraduate and postgraduate students. In the area of research, Dr. Gamboa has been involved since 2006 in research for the Australian Pipeline Industry Association (APIA) Research and Standards Committee (RSC) in a range of areas, including gas pipeline girth welding consumables, pipe coatings, pipe metallurgy and pipe integrity, with a focus on high pH SCC of gas pipelines. Research One successful APIA research project carried out in collaboration with ANSTO involved investigating how SCC cracks in gas pipelines extended by fatigue due to operational cyclic pressures to research if the SCC could be rendered permanently dormant. Full scale tests showed that cracks formed initially by SCC could further propagate by fatigue, but that this growth was usually minute due to normal operational cyclic stresses within that pipeline’s expected remaining lifetime. The results of the research work led to one company saving $8m in the first year after the research findings were applied.

Another successful research project carried out for the APIA RSC involved studying the effect of boron in cellulosic welding consumables on the weld metal properties and susceptibility to weld metal hydrogen assisted cold cracking. Thanks to this work, recommendations have been made to the current AWS weld consumable Standard to change the way in which consumable alloy additions are reported.

42 Corrosion & Materials

As the colour image shows, this recent work has highlighted the fact that SCC cracks can have complex geometries and interactions underneath the free surface. One of the initial goals of the research work is to determine the extent of SCC crack interaction below the free surface of the material.

Industry Collaboration One of the main strengths of corrosion research at UoA is the multidisciplinary approach to tackling research questions (due to the make-up of the experts in the School), as well as the wide range of analytical tools available (including those of Adelaide Microscopy which cover tomographs, scanning electron microscopes and other state of the art equipment). The University has also been involved with other research projects with industry in different fields, primarily focusing on estimating relative corrosion resistant materials’ performance in a range of environments, whether through contract work or as part of final year Mechanical Engineering student projects.

Energy Pipeline Cooperative Research Centre Participation UoA is a participant in the Energy Pipeline Cooperative Research Centre, established in January 2010. The APIA Research and Standards Committee represented the industry members involved in the Energy Pipelines CRC.

The final year mechanical engineering projects are shown at the end of every year to the public at the Mech Expo which is the largest exhibition of its kind in the country. A large majority of the projects have been done in collaboration with industry. The link http://www.mecheng.adelaide.edu.au/ projectexhibition/ has many examples of projects and media coverage that the Mech Expo has attracted.

As part of the Energy Pipelines CRC activities, UoA’s corrosion related research will be concerned with investigating the role of the environment and cyclic operating stress regime on stress corrosion cracking in existing pipelines. The goal of this research is to cost effectively extend the life of Australian pipeline infrastructure by mitigation of corrosion and environmentally assisted degradation.

Contact Details For more information on research opportunities with UoA, collaboration for final year Mechanical Engineering projects or past research work, please contact Dr. Gamboa on erwin.gamboa@adelaide.edu.au. By Erwin “Erk” Gamboa The University of Adelaide

In the same year, Dr. Gamboa became a member of the ACA, a member of the South Australian Branch Committee in 2006 and in late 2010 became the acting Chairman for the Young Corrosion Professionals Committee. During 2007, Dr. Gamboa was appointed to the position of Lecturer

Recent research in this area at UoA has found that X-ray tomography can be used to study SCC crack morphology and SCC crack interaction, even in the case of multiple, non-collinear, inclined, interacting cracks in X65 grade pipeline steels.

Lucky Jack (with apologies to Jack Fry and Kingsley Amis) To hear Jack Fry tell it, his progression from a junior in a small British paint company to one of New Zealand’s most respected marine archaeologists was the result of a series of serendipitous happenstances rather than of deliberate career planning. Jack is currently a freelance conservator and Membership Secretary of the Maritime Archaeological Association of New Zealand. Jack was the guest speaker at the December meeting of the Wellington Division of ACANZ, which was also attended by a heartening number of SCANZ Wellington section members. When Jack first entered the paint industry in England he knew nothing of the chemistry or physics of paint but learned sufficient to succeed in his application to join a resin company where he was instrumental in introducing thixotropic paints as well as electrostatic and spotted paints. After further experience in another coatings company, where he rose to be in charge of the decorative section Jack once again took wing and joined the R&D section of a civil engineering company, where his attention turned to timber technology, and means of dealing with problems of timber in use.

Jack’s work was intersecting with that of Building Research Establishment (BRE) on some jobs, and on one he discovered that a senior BRE staff member was shortly to leave for NZ to become Director of the recently-established Building Research Association of New Zealand. He mentioned in passing that if a ‘materials’ man was needed, he was interested in going too. To his surprise, shortly afterwards he received a letter from Dr Gray offering him a job. So in late 1973 Jack found himself studying (among other things) the weathering of sealants, the behaviour of pre-laid particle board flooring and the performance of latex-based paints on galvanized steel roofs in New Zealand. While at what is now BRANZ, Jack visited the meeting house at Ohinemutu and decided that his future lay in the preservation of Maori artefacts. This feeling, and a change in BRANZ direction which was placing more emphasis on the science and less on the practical assistance and problem-solving issues, happily coincided with a vacancy to become the country’s first professional ‘Conservator’ at the (then) National Museum where he worked on conserving and restoring a number of meeting houses, and established a team of materials conservators. During this time Jack developed an interest in the Maori waka. When the chance came to do significant conservation on one, it was on a large

craft sunk in Lake Waikaremoana. “And so” said Jack “I learned to dive.” There were also two trips to Antarctica to study the huts (and their contents) left by Scott and other early explorers, and a trip to the Auckland Islands to study the huts and caches left there for shipwrecked mariners. Then after ‘retirement’ – which is a totally inappropriate term for Jack’s path of interests! – from the National Museum came the discovery in 1997 of the remains of Plimmer’s Ark - a shipwreck from the days of Wellington’s first settlement beneath Wellington’s old Bank of New Zealand. This is being conserved by Jack and his team similarly to the Vasa in Stockholm. There also came the rebirth of the Hikitia , a historical floating crane which is still in working order and which now houses Maritime Archaeological Association of New Zealand’s laboratory, and where Jack can be found most Saturday afternoons preserving marine relics found by divers. In thanking Jack for his talk, John Duncan (who acknowledged the mentoring he had received from Jack at BRANZ in the late 1970s) drew the audience’s attention again to the mastery of materials performance studies which Jack has carried out himself, or led, for almost 40 years in New Zealand, and the audience joined in acclaiming Jack‘s work and his absolutely riveting presentation.
