There is no single parameter or property that can characterise the corrosion protection capability or performance of coating systems. It is rather a mixture of parameters that must be considered. The same problem applies to testing methods. Standard parameters for the assessment of the behaviour of corrosion protective coatings are summarised in Fig. 9.1. Basically, the performance of undamaged and artificially injured coating systems is evaluated. Examples for the effects of different surface preparation methods on the corrosion at artificial scribes are provided in Fig. 9.2. It can be seen that the performance was worst for the untreated sample and best for the blast cleaned sample. Samples prepared with power tools showed moderate performance.
