Flash rust degrees - SSPC-VIS 4 / NACE VIS 7


Flash rust degree light L FR-1 Description A surface which, when viewed without magnifications, exhibits small quantities of a yellow/brown rust layer through which the steel substrate may be observed. The rust or discoleration may be evenly distributed or present in patches, but will be tightly adherent and not easily removed by light wiping with a cloth. A surface which, when viewed without magnification, exhibits a layer of yellow/brown rust that obscures the original steel surface. The rust layer can be evenly distributed or present in patches, but it will be reasonably well adherent and lightly marks a cloth that is lightly wiped over the surface. A surface which, when viewed without magnification, exhibits a layer of heavy red/brown rust that hides the initial surface condition completely. The rust may be evenly distributed or present in patches, but the rust is loosely adherent, easily comes off, and leaves significant marks on a cloth that is lightly wiped over the surface.

When better not overcoat flashrust?


1. If the flash rust is only loosely adherent (designation H), or, respectively, if the flash rust layer is rather thick.

2. If the flash rust is not clean (e.g. salt contaminated).

Next steps
Calibration of flash rusting degrees based on coating manufacturers specifications. Installation of a test version of the software. Transition from macro images (cm-range) to longshot images (range of tenth of m). Use of standard imaging technique, e.g. cellular phone cameras. Standardization of the procedure and its implementation into a Surface Quality Monitoring System (SQMS).

How to avoid flash rusting?


Use of very clean water; e.g. water from reverse osmosis processes, distilled water. Use of mobile water cleaning / desalination devices. Muehlhan: -water = two-step reverse osmosis plant.

How to avoid flash rusting?


Addition of inhibitors, etc. Flash rust formation can be avoided over a longer period even in areas with high humidity. Acceptance? Coating manufacturers must be consulted, and they should approve the product.
