AbstractCoating for corrosion protection was popular during the past decade. Thermal spray coating played an important role during that time. In recent years, arc thermal metal spray coating became widely used. Arc thermal metal spraying method (ATMSM) provides proven long-term protective coating systems using zinc, aluminum, and their alloys for steel work in a marine environment. This paper provides a review of the latest development in ATMSM by evaluating the current techniques in the industry and by analyzing technical data obtained from an extensive experimental program.

The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a destructive phenomenon which harms the building, telecommunication, and IT based infrastructure. Thus, it is required to reduce the effect of EMP using shielding materials. In the present study, we have used different thickness of concrete walls by incorporating 1 and 5 wt% of carbon black, as well as 100 µm thick Zn–Al coating using the arc thermal metal spraying method (ATMSM). The EMP was evaluated using waveguide measurement fixture for shielding performance of the concrete wall in the range of 0.85 to 1 GHz frequency. The results reveal that the maximum value, i.e., 41.60 dB is shown by the 5-300-N specimen before application of Zn–Al coating where the thickness of concrete wall was 300 mm and 5% carbon black. However, once the 100 µm thick Zn–Al coating was applied on concrete specimen, this value was increased up to 89.75 dB. The increase in shielding values around 48 dB after using the Zn–Al coating is attributed to the reflection loss of the metal thermal spray coating. Thus, the Zn–Al coating can be used for EMP application instead of metallic plate.

This study performs an electrochemical experiment to quantitatively evaluate the corrosion resistance performance in a Zn-Al thermal metal spraying method and produces corrosion current density according to the type of corrosion resistance methods. In the results of the calculation, the corrosion membrane produced in a Zn-Al thermal metal spraying method showed voltage differences more than 300 mV and that demonstrated enough corrosion performance with the corrosion resistance reaction of base materials and proper Zn-Al ratio, such as 50:50. Also, the results exhibited that the corrosion speed in a Zn-Al thermal metal spraying method was 0.66 time faster than that of the zinc galvanizing method in the estimation based on the standard of corrosion resistance service years in a zinc galvanizing method (JIS H 8641).

Examination about sticking intensity security way of normal temperature metal spraying covering is required compulsorily accordingly with quantitative assessment about steel plate's surface roughness to secure adhesive power of steel materials and metal membrane stably at application of way method of construction by normal temperature metal spraying. In case of metal spraying, Sticking strength of metal spraying way finish is influenced greatly, and it is judged that is desirable that manages Sm/Rz by 6 lows to secure more than sticking intensity 20kgf/cm2 by Sm/Rz that evaluate that is rough of nature surface. The purpose of this study was to analyze an adhesion strength of metal spraying finish layer with the surface conditions of steel plate. For the purpose the experimental factors such as anticorrosive finish method and surface treatment method were selected.

Zinc (Zn) coating is being used to protect steel structures from corrosion. There are different processes to deposit the coating onto a steel substrate. Therefore, in the present study, a 100 µm thick Zn coating was deposited by arc and plasma arc thermal spray coating processes, and the corrosion resistance performance was evaluated in artificial seawater. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the arc thermal spray coating exhibited splats and inflight particles, whereas plasma arc spraying showed a uniform and dense morphology. When the exposure periods were extended up to 23 d, the corrosion resistance of the arc as well as the plasma arc thermal spray coating increased considerably. This is attributed to the blocking characteristics of the defects by the stable hydrozincite (Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2).

In recent years, Al-5Mg alloy thermal spray coatings have been used as an anti-corrosion coating applied for various components of steel structures, in some cases it was covered by the conventional heavy-duty coating. However, the deterioration characteristics of overlapping layers between thermal spray layer and heavy-duty paint coating still not clear. In this study, to compare the anti-corrosion characteristics of the single thermal spray coating and overlapping layers, the accelerated cyclic exposure tests were carried out on specimens with three types of coating layers. To clarify the deterioration characteristics, the cross-cut defect were introduced into specimens, and the EIS measurements, glossiness test, EPMA elemental analyses were conducted on test specimens. The test results indicated that the deterioration of the overlapping layer at the steel base-exposed portion occurs earlier than the case of Al-5Mg thermal spray coating. In addition, the deterioration of thermal spray coating was accelerated by the sealing treatment in specimen with overlapping layers.

In recent years, the friction coefficient decline in the joints of steel structures caused by corrosion has drawn public attention. Therefore, this study investigated the friction coefficient and surface roughness of high tension bolt joints using a Zn/Al metal spraying corrosion resistance method to estimate the application possibility of the Zn/Al metal spraying corrosion resistance method on the joints of steel structures. According to results, the friction coefficient of Zn/Al metal spraying was 0.50 or more. In addition, the friction coefficient increased according to the decrease in surface roughness (Sm/Rz). Therefore, the Zn/Al metal spraying is applicable to a corrosion resistance method for high tension bolt joints.

The Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach is an Aboriginal community located in northern Quebec near the Labrador Border. Given the region’s rich iron deposits, the Naskapi Nation has considerable experience with major mineral development, first in the 1950s to the 1980s, and again in the past decade as companies implement plans for further extraction. This has raised concerns regarding a range of environmental and socio-economic impacts that may be caused by renewed development. These concerns have led to an interest among the Naskapi to develop a means to track community well-being over time using indicators of their own design. Exemplifying community-engaged research, this paper describes the beginning development of such a tool in fall 2012—the creation of a baseline of community well-being against which mining-induced change can be identified. Its development owes much to the remarkable and sustained contribution of many key members of the Naskapi Nation. If on-going surveying is completed based on the chosen indicators, the Nation will be better positioned to recognize shifts in its well-being and to communicate these shifts to its partners. In addition, long-term monitoring will allow the Naskapi Nation to contribute to more universal understanding of the impacts of mining for Indigenous peoples.

This paper examines a few of the numerous factors that may have led to increased youth turnout in 2008 Election. First, theories of voter behavior and turnout are related to courting the youth vote. Several variables that are perceived to affect youth turnout such as party polarization, perceived candidate difference, voter registration, effective campaigning and mobilization, and use of the Internet, are examined. Over the past 40 years, presidential elections have failed to engage the majority of young citizens (ages 18-29) to the point that they became inclined to participate. This trend began to reverse starting in 2000 Election and the youth turnout reached its peak in 2008. While both short and long-term factors played a significant role in recent elections, high turnout among youth voters in 2008 can be largely attributed to the Obama candidacy and campaign, which mobilized young citizens in unprecedented ways.
