6 Agenda Structural Joints Using High Strength Bolts and Coatings Qualified for Class A or Class B Slip Surface Preparation of Steel (SSPC-SP 1 to SP 15) Steel Primers Zinc-rich Epoxy MCU Alkyd Acrylic High Performance Steel Topcoats Fluoropolymers Polysiloxanes Polyurethanes Acrylic Slip-Critical Joint A joint that transmits shear loads or shear loads in combination with tensile loads in which the bolts have been installed... to provide a pretension in the installed bolt (clamping force on the faying surfaces), and with faying surfaces that have been prepared to provide a calculable resistance against slip. 3

7 Standards Organizations Involved Familiarity with the referenced AISC, ASCE, ASME, ASTM and SSPC specification requirements is necessary for the proper application of this Specification. From the Glossary Faying Surface. The plane of contact between two plies of a joint. Coated Faying Surface. A faying surface that has been primed, primed and painted or protected against corrosion, except by hot-dip galvanizing. i Mean Slip Coefficient. μ, the ratio of the frictional shear load at the faying surface to the total normal force when slip occurs Slip-Critical Joints The faying surfaces of slip-critical joints as defined in Section 4.3, including those of filler plates and finger shims, shall meet the following requirements: (b) Coated Faying Surfaces: Coated faying surfaces shall first be blast cleaned and subsequently coated with a coating that is qualified in accordance with the requirements in Appendix A as a Class A or Class B coating as defined in Section

8 Why Blast Clean? Clean and Profile Paints Adhere to the Surface by Mechanical and / or Chemical Bond Whatever interferes with mechanical or chemical bond will, in turn, interfere with adhesion.

It is the first step by definition in every preparation method! 5

9 SSPC-SP2 Hand Tool Cleaning Hand Tool Cleaning removes all loose mill scale, loose rust, loose paint, and other loose detrimental foreign matter. It is not intended that adherent mill scale, rust, and paint be removed by this process. Mill scale, rust, and paint are considered adherent if they cannot be removed by lifting with a dull putty knife. SSPC-SP3 Power Tool Cleaning Power Tool Cleaning removes all loose mill scale, loose rust, loose paint, and other loose detrimental foreign matter. It is not intended that adherent mill scale, rust, and paint be removed by this process. Mill scale, rust, and paint are considered adherent if they cannot be removed by lifting with a dull putty knife. SSPC-SP 7 / NACE 4 Brush-Off Blast Cleaning has the same definition. Appropriate for LARGE areas. The entire surface shall be subjected to the abrasive blast.... When a coating is specified, the surface shall be roughened to a degree suitable for the specified coating system. SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast A Commercial Blast cleaned surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, mill scale, rust, coating, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter, except for staining as noted below random staining shall be limited to no more than 33% of each unit area of surface (9 in 2 ), and may consist of light shadows, slight streaks, or minor discolorations caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, or stains of previously applied coatings 6

10 SSPC-SP10 Near-White Blast A Near-White Blast cleaned surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, mill scale, rust, coating, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter, except for staining as noted below random staining shall be limited to no more than 5% of each unit area of surface (9 in 2 ), and may consist of light shadows, slight streaks, or minor discolorations caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, or stains of previously applied coatings SSPC-SP5 White Metal Blast A White Metal Blast cleaned surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, mill scale, rust, coating, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter. AASHTO R31 for Evaluation of Protective Coating Systems for Structural Steel requires abrasive blast cleaning to achieve a White Metal Blast using 100% S280 steel shot to produce a mil surface profile for the slip coefficient test. Steel shot was selected to produce a peened surface texture (lower peak density) to create a worst case scenario. Centrifugal Blast Cleaning Shops will often combine steel shot and grit for blasting. The shot impacts the mill scale while the grit imparts profile. 7

12 The plies of slipcritical joints with coated faying surfaces shall not be assembled before the coating has cured for the minimum time that was used in the qualifying tests. AASHTO R31 specification requires curing at 25 +/ 2 C and 65 +/ 5% relative humidity Publication now modified and APPENDIX A of Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts Appendix A Purpose and Scope The purpose of this testing procedure is to determine the mean slip coefficient of a coating for use in the design of slipcritical joints. Adherence to this testing method provides that the creep deformation of the coating due to both the clamping force of the bolt and the service-load joint shear are such that the coating will provide satisfactory performance under sustained loading. 9

13 Definition of Essential Variables The time interval between application of the coating and the time of testing The coating thickness... per SSPC PA2.. is 2 mils less than the average thickness The specimens are to be coated to an average thickness that is 2 mils greater than the maximum thickness to be used in the structure on both of the plate surfaces(the faying and outer surfaces) Coating Composition and Method of Manufacture Testing Configurations Contact Surface of Bolted Parts Class A- Slip Coefficient not less than per AISC Clean Mill Scale and Blast Cleaned Surfaces with a Class A Coatings Class B- Slip Coefficient not less than 0.50 Blast Cleaned Surfaces and Blast Cleaned Surfaces with Class B Coating Class C-Slip Coefficient not less than 0.35 Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel and roughened surfaces 10

14 NO Masking Reduced Cost How Coatings Protect Surfaces Barrier Inhibitive Sacrificial Corrosion Prevention Stop the deterioration of a substrate. Corrosion is a natural process that displays the tendency of materials to give up energy and return to its natural state. 11

15 Barrier Most coatings serve as a protective barrier by isolating the metal from the environment. Film reinforcement further slows this action down. This can also be true when protecting concrete, wood or other substrates. Inhibitive Some pigments used in manufacturing primers control corrosion by forming inhibitive compounds. These compounds are slightly soluble in water, and upon contact with water vapor, passivate the substrate. Rust inhibitive primers should never be specified or recommended for use in immersion service. Sacrificial When a zinc coating is applied to steel, the zinc, being more active than the steel, sacrifices itself to protect the steel from corrosion. This is based on the galvanic series.
