-Can be solvent-based, water-based, or solvent-free
28.Alkyds - ANSWER ✓ -Oxidative curing
-Reffered to as "Oil Based Paints"
29.Define Corrosion - ANSWER ✓ The deterioration of a substance, usually a
metal from a reaction with its environment
30.What is Passivation? - ANSWER ✓ A layer of oxides formed on the surface
of a metal that provides corrosion protection.
31.What is an example of passivation? - ANSWER ✓ Stainless Steel
32.What are the elements of a corrosion cell? - ANSWER ✓ Anode, Cathode,
Metallic Pathway, Electrolyte
33.Describe what happens at the anode. - ANSWER ✓ The metal dissolves into
the electrolyte
34.What is the function of the electrolyte? - ANSWER ✓ Allows the passage of
ions to connect the corrosion cell
35.What is the function of the metallic pathway? - ANSWER ✓ Allows the
flow of electrons to connect the corrosion cell
, 36.What is the galvanic series? - ANSWER ✓ A listing of metals in order of
reactivity (more or less noble) in seawater at 25 C
37.The general rules of galvanic corrosion are: - ANSWER ✓ The more
reactive metal --when connected to the less reactive (more noble) metal --
will corrode preferentially
38.Name the five (5) most important factors that affect the *rate of corrosion.* -
ANSWER ✓ Humidity, oxygen, chemical salts, pollutants, temperature
39.General corrosion is: - ANSWER ✓ Results in a relatively *uniform* loss of
material over the entire surface, Results in a general thinning of the affected
surface, Relatively easy to inspect, Does not casue catastrophic failures
40.Localized corrosion is: - ANSWER ✓ At discrete/specific spots on the metal
surface. Typically pitting and crevice corrosion. The most concerning as
damage is concentrated and loss of integrity or structural failure can result.
41.List some of the common tools/methods used for *corrosion control*. -
ANSWER ✓ Design, Inhibitors, Material Selection, Cathodic Protection,
Protective Coatings, Splash Zone Systems, Alteration of the Environment
42.How does NACE define the Inspector's role? - ANSWER ✓ The inspector's
role is that of a *quality control technician* responsible for *observing and
reporting conformance or deviation from the project specification.*
43.The coatings inspector must calibrate the magnetic surface thermometer at
the job site. - ANSWER ✓ False
44.If solvent is trapped in a coating film it may - ANSWER ✓ cause problems
with the curing of the film.
