Influence of UHP Waterjetting on Shop-Primed Steel in New Construction, Part 3

by Philippe Le Calvé, DCNS; Jean-Pierre Pautasso, Direction Générale de I’Armement; and Nathalie Le Bozec, French Corrosion Institute

In this article, the authors describe the third and final part of a study that involved testing three paint systems over UHP waterjetted panels coated with a zinc-rich shop primer and compared the results to conventional grit blasttreated, similarly shop-primed panels.
